WWE SMACKDOWN LIVE Superstar Lana May Be Taking Over Emmalina's Gimmick When She Debuts
WWE spent what felt like a year teasing the debut of Emmalina only to change their minds at the last minute. Well, Lana's upcoming SmackDown Live debut could see her taking over the scrapped gimmick...
For months, WWE teased us with Emma's transformation into Emmalina. However, when the time came for that to happen they decided that it wasn't working (during rehearsals on the same day she was set to debut) and the gimmick was scrapped. However, according to Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez on Wrestling Observer Radio, it may have been resurrected for Lana.
The video below for the Ravishing Russian's SmackDown Live debut is certainly similar in nature and she's been training for a while to kick off her in-ring career. That's included touring with NXT and working the pre-show of last year's WrestleMania, and WWE has reportedly been considering a singles run for her which ties into her dance background for some time now.
What that means for Lana's alliance with real-life husband Rusev remains to be seen, but he's still a good month or two away from returning from injury, so she has plenty of time to make an impact. As always, be sure to stay tuned for updates on this situation as we have them.
