The Ravishing Russian: 5 Facts you didn't know about WWE's Lana

#2. Lana always felt like she didn't belong, until she met Rusev

Lana has struggled with her body image throughout her life and always found it hard to fit in. On an episode of Total Divas she opened up to Nikki Bella about how she was always different as a child because she never wanted to wear pink, she always wanted to wear blue.

Lana has gained a lot of negative attention from the WWE Universe throughout her time on the main roster, and that has only served to fuel her issues fitting in. Despite all of this feedback, Lana has pushed through and been able to make a name for herself in WWE. The former dancer took to Instagram a few years ago to reveal that she had never felt as though she fitted in until she met Rusev.

Lana also revealed that she found herself through meeting Rusev and that the former United States Champion has changed her life. The couple was able to share some interesting aspects of their life whilst appearing on Chasing Glory with Lilian Garcia back in 2019.
