WWE Superstar Lana recently joined Busted Open with Dave LaGreca to promote yesterday’s (Wed. April 5, 2017) premiere of Total Divas. During the interview Lana was asked if she took heat backstage for announcing her engagement to Rusev and killing the Dolph Ziggler/Lana storyline. Here’s what she had to say:
“They just ended up changing the story so it wasn’t necessarily like heat, it was more like… a little bit disappointing because we worked really hard for this story and I was really excited about returning and having a payoff of the return and the tag match [Lana & Ziggler vs. Summer Rae & Rusev,” Lana said. “When they decided… when Vince [McMahon] decided to go a different way with it, he wanted to actually tell the story of us being engaged and telling our wedding story. It was like, ‘Ok, he’s the director!’
“I’m thankful for my opportunities and I’m thankful that I can tell stories for him for a living. So I was just like ‘Ok, we’re changing gears! Gotta make the most of it! Gotta be thankful I can do what I love for a living.’ So that’s what it was more like, it was more like, ‘woah, we’ve been planning this for so long and now it’s like a complete change of gears.’ But you can’t believe everything you read on the internet.”
