WWE News: WWE Diva Lana Said To Be Lying About In-Ring Training, Eva Marie Style Training Videos Coming?
Fans have loved WWE Diva Lana for quite some time. Even when she said terrible things about America, her beauty and abilities were simply too good to overlook. The crowd kept chanting for her and cheered when she came out. Eventually, “We want Lana” chants increased more and more, until WWE decided to split Lana and Rusev and have them in an angle against each other.
This led WWE to add another man and woman to the storyline in Dolph Ziggler and Summer Rae. Summer would be the new squeeze for Rusev and take over the Lana role, while Ziggler would be the new man for Lana. This would allow both of them to have someone to fight if need be. We all knew that eventually Lana would have to get inside the squared circle and actually compete.
The idea was for this to happen at the WWE Night of Champions PPV at the end of this month. Sadly, Lana was said to be injured during a training session before a WWE Live Event this past weekend. However, there is some thought that this is just a ruse by WWE and Lana. While she is said to be really hurt, it is uncertain if she has actually been training a lot. The thought is that she got injured “training” for the cameras.
According to the Wrestling Observer, a source from WWE reached out to them to tell them that the story about Lana being at the WWE Performance Center to train is completely bogus. They went on to say that she hasn’t been to the PC in “forever,” and the story of her training hard to get in the ring is not true. It is thought that if Lana and Rusev are still together, they live in Nashville, Tennessee. That means that it would be harder for her to get to the WWE PC outside of WWE events.
It is said that she doesn’t attend WWE NXT events, and she is not training nearly as much as some have claimed.
There is a thought that WWE would create an Eva Marie story for her, where they show her training for the cameras, but it is uncertain how much she actually does train. Lana does have prior Martial Arts experience, and she looks to be in excellent shape. The hope is that, unlike Eva, the training pays off, and she can actually compete with some real ability. Despite training with Brian Kendrick, Eva has a long way to go to be on the same level as other WWE Divas.
We knew going in that Lana was not a wrestler, so it cannot be expected for her to be a great in-ring worker on day one. The thought is that WWE won’t allow her to have any one on one stuff for a while, so she does not come off as bad as Eva. However, we might be seeing some WWE training videos whenever Lana is able to come back. Hopefully, she doesn’t get hurt then.
