What’s the story?
Lana & Rusev featured in a hilarious new video; promoting WWE Ride Along.
In a segment on the WWE Network show, Lana & Rusev are seen jesting about their finishing moves. Besides, Lana also asserted that she’d love to have Rusev as her manager someday. Fans can catch a glimpse of their upcoming WWE Ride Along below—
In case you didn’t know…
Rusev debuted in the WWE a few years back as a villainous Bulgarian heel, with his manager/valet being ‘The Ravishing Russian’ Lana.
Eventually, Lana broke through as a singles competitor while Rusev now has a new manager in the form of Aiden English.
The heart of the matter
Lana & Rusev seemed considerably excited about the WWE Ride Along episode featuring them.
To summarize, Lana revealed in detail that her dream is to have Rusev as her manager, and with him screaming ‘Machka’, she’d love to slap on the Accolade (Rusev’s finisher/signature move) and win the WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship.
Furthermore, Rusev jived the aforementioned Machka battle-cry, while Lana reiterated her intentions of becoming the SmackDown Women’s Champion.
What’s next?
Lana performs for the WWE’s SmackDown brand and serves as an ally for Tamina Snuka.
On the other hand, Rusev also competes on the WWE’s blue brand, with ‘The Drama King’ Aiden English as his manager.
Author’s take
Rusev and Lana have got to be one of the best couples in sports-entertainment today. They have beauty and brawn in abundance, and just seem to be naturally charismatic—no forceful swagger on their part.
Honestly speaking, it’d be great to see Lana capture a Women’s title in WWE someday. Granted that she isn’t as well-trained as most of the other female Superstars in the WWE, but her heart is in the right place, and she’s been fighting tooth and nail to evolve both in the gym as well as the squared circle.
