Lana and Rusev Work Off-Screen Engagement Into Storylines

In an interview with WWE.com, “The Ravishing Russian,” Lana announced her engagement to Rusev, which points to the likelihood that the duo may reunite as an on-screen couple.

During the interview, Lana said:

It’s very obvious Rusev proposed to me. If you watched Rusev and Summer, Rusev has always loved me. He was just so devastated about me picking Dolph that he went with Summer to make me jealous. But at the end of the day, we know we’re good for each other.

I am from the former Soviet Union; Rusev grew up in Bulgaria, and one common thread they teach you there is to survive. The winters get very cold and they get very dark. We do what we need to do to survive. This is what is happening. We will be leaving the greatest legacy this company and the WWE Universe has ever seen.

Ziggler is very funny and he’s charming, but he is not The Super Athlete. With me, Rusev was the undefeated Super Athlete. He listened to what I said, he was very focused. We made each other better. He challenged me and I challenged him. Summer has made him so soft that he hasn’t won. You tell me, who is the better pick?

The wrestling world has known for a long time that Lana and Rusev are a real life item. Summer Rae’s proposal seems almost like an inside joke, as if WWE creative knew this engagement would soon change everything.

Editorial note: With regards to her question: ‘who is the better pick?’ My heart says Lana, but that door has closed. Summer Rae seems more like a summer fling. Follow me on Twitter at @RealBillKline
