Lana Makes First Comments Since Wrist Injury Announcement

While simply in a managerial role at the moment, WWE Diva Lana had plans to step inside the squared circle as an active competitor, with her first match coming as early as the “Night of Champions” pay-per-view.

Unfortunately, her inevitable in-ring debut may not come for another four months, as WWE.com announced Monday that the “Ravishing Russian” has injured her wrist during a training session in the ring.

Lana has since posted the following image on her Instagram account with her first comments since the discouraging announcement:

I have dedicated my entire life to becoming the best sports entertainer I could be. Every since I have debuted in @wwe I have continued to go to @wwenxt & come hours early before live events to train & learn how to fight. I wanted my first match to make the #WWE Universe proud. My wrist fracture is proof that WWE & professional wrestling is not fake but very real. This is a bump in the road & can be discouraging but for every person that has believed in me and has ever chanted #WeWantLana I will keep going. From here forward I will share every part of my journey to my first match. Thank you to every fan that has cheered for me & chanted my name, you all give me the strength to be brave. I will continue to give everything I have to becoming one of the greatest women in WWE & entertainment.

Per WWE senior physician Scott Amann: “We obtained X-rays which showed a Colles’ fracture and [we put her] in a splint. Most of these Colles’ fractures do better surgically than non-surgically, especially in younger patients. Most likely this will require an operation, which will take her out of active competition for approximately four months.”

Poor Lana. Get well soon!
