What’s the story?
Lana attacked an enhancement talent while training for her upcoming WWE MMC match.
Following a few failed clothesline attempts on the enhancement talent, Lana Superkicked the latter and then delivered the Accolade—Rusev’s signature move.
In case you didn’t know…
Lana initially served as a valet/manager for her husband Rusev.
Nevertheless, over the past year, Lana has transitioned to the role of an active in-ring competitor in the WWE; often competing in multi-person Tag Team matches for the SmackDown Live brand.
The heart of the matter
Lana and Rusev were in the midst of a training session for their upcoming Mixed Match Challenge match against Bayley & Elias.
Apparently, Lana attempted to clothesline enhancement talent Kris Stadtlander but failed to put the latter down on the mat. Following which, Lana snapped and landed a resounding Superkick on Stadtlander; sending the Create-A-Pro trainee crashing to the canvas.
With Rusev trying to get Lana to calm down and Aiden English encouraging her, the Ravishing Russian continued her beat-down of Stadtlander, putting the latter in the Accolade. Fans can watch the video below—
What’s next?
Lana & Rusev vs. Bayley & Elias will take place in week number-5 of the WWE’s MMC (Mixed Match Challenge) tournament.
The winners of the WWE MMC shall receive a $100,000 prize that will be donated to a charity of their choice.
Author’s take
Well, to be honest, the aforementioned beat-down the Ravishing Russian laid on Kris Stadtlander was pretty reminiscent of the numerous times her husband Rusev had attacked John Cena in their long-running feud last year.
It’s great to see Lana having fun in the ring, and take her mat skills to the next level. However, with someone as experienced as Bayley standing opposite her in the MMC matchup, Lana will have to pull out all the stops so as to ensure she and Rusev emerge victorious against ‘The Hugger’ & Elias.
