Lana recently transitioned from managing Rusev to competing as a wrestler on SmackDown LIVE, and although she has shown some promise on a couple of occasions, the general consensus seems to be that she was thrown into the deep end a little too quickly and could use a lot more training.

As it happens, The Ravishing Russian concurs with this assessment, and has vowed to keep getting working and improving her skills.

During an interview with EOnline, Lana spoke about becoming disillusioned with her progress, and credits fellow Total Divas star Nikki Bella with convincing her not to give up:


“Nikki has helped me so, so, so much. 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. She was really the person that kept on encouraging me not to give up, to be resilient, to be brave and to have courage. “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.”

Lana already has no problem getting the crowd to eat out of her hand be it as a face or a heel, so if she can reach the next level as a wrestler, she could be the total package.
