Bobby Lashley reflected on WWE’s love triangle storyline involving himself, Lana, and Rusev, crediting Lana for making the experience enjoyable and manageable.
Speaking with Chris Van Vliet, Lashley revealed that Lana’s professionalism and dedication were key in helping him feel comfortable with the dramatic angle, which was outside his wrestling-focused comfort zone.
Lashley praised Lana for her organization and commitment, noting she fully embraced her role and ensured they presented the story convincingly. Despite criticism from fans, Lashley emphasized that Lana was respectful, supportive, and instrumental in executing the storyline effectively.
Here’s what the former WWE Champion said:
“It was 100% Lana that made me feel comfortable doing it. She was on top of everything. She’d be like, ‘Alright, I got a photographer over here. We need a photographer there. We need people to see us together so it’s not just thrown out there.’
All I’m thinking about is who am I supposed to wrestle or go smash? But she was pulling me in all these different directions.
I even asked her, ‘Are you cool with all this?’ And she was like, ‘Yes.’ She knows acting and was able to fully immerse herself into the character.
Some people were hard on her because it seems like she tries too hard, and sometimes it might not come off as sincere. But working with her, I realized she’s a sweetheart. She really helped me feel comfortable in that role.
I was working with her and her husband, and she kept it very respectful. She understood what the plan was and played her part perfectly.”
