The Bobby Lashley-Lana-Rusev storyline was easily one of the worst in recent times. The WWE Universe was just not into it, and from the looks of things, neither were the ones involved in the storyline.

Bobby Lashley spoke about the storyline on WWE After The Bell after Corey Graves asked him. He said that he was curious as to why he was being put in such a storyline, and revealed the reasons WWE made him do the storyline. He said:

A former WWE writer just went after JBL for his comments HERE

"For me, I had to figure out the 'why'. A lot of times people don't want to know the 'why'. And I think part of the 'why' for me was, when I came back... here are a couple of things - One, they were like 'well, we want people to hate you'. That's a good way (chuckles). But, two, also I think it was getting me to loosen up a little bit. I trained so long with wrestling, and with wrestling, it was always 'shut up and train'."

Miro, fka Rusev, has left the company, while Lana and Bobby Lashley are on their separate paths in WWE.
