(VIDEO): It Got Serious. Bobby Lashley Talks About Receiving Death Threats Over Storyline With Lana.

I think that qualifies as a success. One of the most talked about stories on Monday Night Raw as of late has been the issues between Rusev, Bobby Lashley and Lana, with the two men fighting over Lana’s affair with Lashley. Rusev, who is still married to Lana, has started to fight back and that means things are getting a little bit more interesting. As it turns out though, some of the fans might not be so happy with everything that is going on and have let Lashley know about it, though it is a bit more serious than it sounds.

In a new video for Lana’s YouTube channel, she and Lashley talk about a variety of things, including their relationship. Around the halfway point, Lashley mentions that he has received death threats over the story, which has seen Lashley break up Lana and Rusev’s marriage. While Lashley does not get into specifics on what has been said, he does say that anyone who wants to say it to his face can come find him. The video ends with the two reaffirming their love for each other and talking about things they want to know about each other. Rusev and Lashley will be on opposite teams of Team Hogan vs. Team Flair at Crown Jewel.

It is certainly the kind of thing that will get people talking. Check out the video, featuring Lana and Lashley getting a bit more personal:

Opinion: I know it might not sound great these days, but this should be seen as a sign that the angle is working. Lana and Lashley have people talking and that is the point of the story. Now that being said, the fans also need to find a reason to cheer for Rusev, which is often the harder part. It’s one thing to get people to boo you, but it is entirely another to have them cheer for the hero. Rusev was more aggressive last week on Monday Night Raw, but he still has a long way to go. Couple that with WWE’s long track record of not doing great things with Rusev and this may not bode well.

How do you like the story so far? Will it work out in the end? Let us know in the comments below.

One more thing: They have had some better days. Check out Lana and Rusev in a funnier moment:
