There’s actually nothing Russian at all about Lana

Lana is far and away one of the most underrated and underutilised talents on the WWE payroll. The way she has been able to flawlessly transform herself into a very believable Russian persona, it’s pure magic. She has added to Rusev’s value over the course of his career and now it appears the company is ready to focus more so on her individual career.
If you have watched the reality television show Total Divas, then you are fully aware that Lana’s real voice sounds nothing like what you hear on WWE programming. In fact, she sounds nothing at all like the boastful ‘Ravishing Russian’ she portrays.
Lana is actually a normal, red-blooded, cherry-pie-eating, Fourth-of-July-celebrating American. While Lana is originally from the Gainesville, Florida area, she resides in the beautiful city of Nashville, Tennessee with her husband, Rusev.

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
