5 takeaways from WWE Backstage (January 7th, 2020)

#1 The infamous Lana/Lashley wedding

Lana has been in her element during her partnership with Lashley.

It has dominated portions of Monday nights lately so the panel had to address the ongoing love saga between Lana, Lashley, and Rusev. During the wedding segment last week, a huge twist came forth when Liv Morgan claimed that she and Lana were in a relationship. It added another unexpected layer to an already crazy storyline and it at least provides Morgan with a role going forward.

Christian stated it best when claiming that with the angle, "you never know what's going to happen but you know something is going to happen." He also added that on an entertainment show about wrestling "you need to have these types of segments for entertainment." Captain Charisma also mentioned that "you need to have these layers and audience connection" aspects in the various segments throughout the night.

He also lauded Lashley as the angle has given the All Mighty a kind of "response from the audience." Lashley is a great in-ring talent and can provide a good enough match but he has had trouble connecting with the WWE Universe in a meaningful way since returning. Paige loved that Morgan was getting a spotlight and said that fans need "to give it a chance" because Morgan is "doing a new character." The Anti-Diva wanted to see where it goes because the segment isn't going away any time soon.
