Lana established herself as one of the best managers of the decade during her fine work alongside Rusev in NXT and WWE, so it was a surprise when she made the transition into becoming an in-ring competitor in 2016.

Speaking to E! Online before a season of Total Divas, “The Ravishing Russian” revealed that she came close to ending her in-ring dreams but she was encouraged to keep trying by fellow cast member Nikki Bella.

"There have been times in my wrestling journey – and you're going to see this on the show – when I've gotten discouraged because the success doesn't come overnight. It's a lot of getting in there and failing. At times, I would think maybe I shouldn't continue to pursue my dream of competing in that ring, but she kept on telling me not to give up and keep on training. I wouldn't be where I am now if it wasn't for Nikki Bella."
