She's an American who they have made put on the Russian accent.

If she splits from 'the russian' guy what the fuck does she do? She's going to have to always have that accent now and it doesnt really make sense with anyone not Russian :lol

They shouldn't break them off right away. It should play off similar to Miz and Mizdow, let it build and build and then eventually Lana will turn face. This will get Rusev more heat and they transition off this anti-USA gimmick. It'd also be similar to Marc Mero and Sable storyline, where Rusev gets more and more jealous as Lana becomes more popular. She's getting her name everytime he comes out so you might as well roll with it.

It reminds me of Sable/Mero too. Sable became the bigger star. I definitely think Lana is the bigger star of the Rusev/Lana duo. I can see her evolving into so many things. It's hard to see Rusev evolving into anything significant beyond this Russian gimmick. He doesn't seem like Mr. Personality. Although it's probably hard to tell what he has to offer in that regard due to his current gimmick.

Hopefully they stay paired. But if not, please keep her as a manager or some kind of relevant personality. Maybe have her host her own interview segment or such.

If they even think about her becoming a wrestler, that is trouble. The odds against her navigating a division with Paige, the Bellas, Sasha, Flair's daughter, and maybe still AJ are astronomical. She would end up being used as a hotter foreign Summer Rae, which would be a shame and a waste.

Different time period of course. Lana is clearly better on the mic than Sable, so she has that going for her.

Otoh, Sable got and stayed over mostly because of things they don't do in a PG era.

They could do a whole fraud angle where someone like Zeb Coulter accuses her of being an American this whole time, etc, etc. You get the idea :)

She leaves WWE so I can my self-esteem back?

Pretty sure she's gonna become a Diva, as in actually wrestling. I'd like to see her kinda become a shell of a character in some weird way in that she ends up just kinda following Rusev around and cowering to him :shrug

Or swerve the shit out of us a reveal really is an American named CJ and was just a spy or some shit like that :troll

All these people wanting Lana to start being in the ring.

STUPID idea

Not ever diva needs to be forced to wrestle and look awful in the process like some we've seen in recent years.

^ This. I have a lot of respect for Lana as a manager so please don't make me hate her by forcing me to watch another untrained and unskilled model try to wrestle. She is currently the best manager in WWE that isn't named Paul Heyman and has a lot of talent on the mic. Continue using her that way.
