Lana Pitches Crazy Romantic Story For Rusev Involving Nia Jax And Lash Legend

Rusev in a romantic angle featuring Nia Jax and Lash Legend? An interesting idea was floated by his wife, CJ Perry (aka Lana).

During their first WWE run, former Chairman Vince McMahon had booked Lana and Rusev in a breakup storyline, in which the Bulgarian Brute was out to get revenge on Bobby Lashley, who was seeing Lana as part of the angle.

In an interview with TMZ Sports’ Inside the Ring, Lana confessed her love for romantic storylines in wrestling. And if it were up to her, she would book Rusev in one, with Nia Jax and Lash Legend. She feels her husband should be involved with both of them, calling Legend the new “Lashley girl,” perhaps a subtle reference to her own previous storyline.

I love romantic storylines. If I was the person writing the shows, there would be more soap opera stories, and Rusev for sure would be in a romantic angle by now. If I had anything to do with it, I’d probably have him like–isn’t there a new Lashley girl?” Lana’s question got the hosts wondering who she was referring to.

“I think it would be great for him to be in a romantic storyline with Nia Jax or Lash Legend. Maybe he could have a tag team, and he could be in a romantic storyline with both of them.”

Lana And Rusev Have Different Opinions On John Cena’s Forthcoming WWE Retirement

At Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 13, John Cena will retire from in-ring competition. At the time of this writing, Rusev has a chance at becoming The Never-Seen 17’s final opponent at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C.

The Bulgarian Brute credits John Cena for getting him over in 2015. After a lengthy reign as the United States Champion, during which he even scored a technical submission win over Big Match John, Rusev finally fell to Cena at WrestleMania 31. A decade later, he feels it would be poetic to retire the man to whom he felt he owed a certain extent.

Meanwhile, Lana is not convinced that The Last Real Champion will retire for good in December. However, she admitted it is probably denial, as she could not fathom immortal guys like John Cena, The Undertaker, and Triple H ever stepping away from the ring entirely.
