5 WWE stars who had other plans if wrestling didn't work out

#2 Lana - dancer/actress

Lana was already a qualified actress and dancer before she joined WWE

Lana was already building a fanbase of her own before she made her way to WWE through the 2013 Diva Search, after appearing in a number of films and attending Ballet school.

Lana was hired by WWE based on the skills she already possessed and has since been able to learn to be a wrestler from scratch, whilst WWE has been able to use her skills as an actress on WWE TV.

Lana could easily have continued her career as an actress/ dancer if she wanted to and has continued to pursue parts of this career, whilst under contract, but it seems that so far WWE has been able to allow Lana to continue to act and dance as part of Total Divas. Lana has also been able to meet her husband Rusev ever since she was signed by the company.
