The Lana-Bobby Lashley-Rusev love triangle on WWE RAW was much criticized by fans, and even by some in the WWE itself, but it stayed on television for a long time. Looking at the numbers on social media, which were quite high, it seemed that there was some interest in this storyline.

The storyline got some more drama when Liv Morgan interrupted Lashley and Lana's wedding to reveal that she was Lana's former lover. That was an interesting twist to the tale.

But, WWE altogether dropped the storyline, with even Rusev being released by the company last month.

Last month, there was some speculation as to why WWE dropped the storyline, especially the one involving Lana and Liv Morgan. Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer revealed that RAW Executive Director Paul Heyman had Liv Morgan in the storyline just to give her a push and get the fans behind her.

The storyline was one that did not resonate with some fans, while some others loved it. With Rusev no longer with WWE, there's obviously no chance of WWE doing it again.
