Lana’s stock is quickly rising within the WWE. Lana has been a fan favorite amongst the interwebs since she showed up on the scene and the WWE, mainly Vince McMahon, is salivating at the dollar signs they see in her, this according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Expect Lana to seperate from Rusev soon and become a babyface.
The question is whether they will go with the angle that she is actually American and whether they will change her name closer to her real name of C.J. (Catherine Jo Perry) in reminiscent of Pamela Anderson’s CJ character from Baywatch. Vince has very old pop culture references. I think it is a great idea as Lana seems to excel at her job and she’s great to look at which never hurts. It will be interesting to see the transition she makes from her current character and whether it will include actually wrestling or just being a talent with a microphone.
