On the latest episode of Monday Night Raw, something happened that happened last week. This coincidentally also happened the week before. You may have guessed it by now- Lana got sent through a table, again.
Once more, being on the receiving end of the Nia Jax- Shayna Baszler beatdown, Lana and Natalya could not defend themselves against the sheer aggression.

Setting a big example for the third consecutive week, Nia Jax delivered a huge Samoan Drop to Lana through the commentary table. The result left her completely and utterly beaten.
The question now arises- Is Lana being punished? That ship has probably sailed now. The next question is- Why is she being punished so much?
I’m all for @WWE_MandyRose getting wins, but damn does @LanaWWE have to lose every time? Let someone else take the pin once in a while 🤦♂️

Ever since her husband and former WWE Superstar Miro (Rusev) joined AEW, Lana has been on the wrong end of the sword. The fact that Miro joined WWE’s arch-rival promotion right now and went so far as to call out WWE in veiled shots probably had something to do with it.
No, wwe hates Miro (rusev)

However, Lana has been paying, and paying, and paying. There seems to be no endgame to this beatdown. WWE fans have also started feeling sympathetic for her.
😂 😂 😂 WWE is REALLY gonna put poor @LanaWWE thru this table every week bc of Miro, eh? 😂 Wow!#WWERaw https://t.co/Ssv9PkOx1r

Fans are aware of what is happening to Lana
On Twitter, a number of fans have expressed their concern. This is probably the most obvious burial in WWE history. Michael Cole himself must be pretty annoyed by the fact that his table gets wrecked every Monday Night.
Despite this one-sided storyline, some fans are optimistic about Lana. They claim that WWE has big plans for the female Superstar and that this is part of a storyline.
Losing my mind that WWE ran Miro out of the company essentially because he was the one that got over with the crowds instead of his manager/wife Lana but now they're jobbering out Lana because her husband, that they ran out of the company, sought gainful employment elsewhere. pic.twitter.com/IPoNwHLXc6

This theory also makes sense because if she knew she was being buried, she would have packed her bags by now. AEW always have the door open and that’s what scares WWE.
I’m convinced that @VinceMcMahon is going to have @NiaJaxWWE put @LanaWWE through the announcing table every week until she joins @ToBeMiro in @AEW. #YouCantWrestle #NeitherCanShe https://t.co/8CrgG9KX12

There will probably be a lot of criticism over the segment. Although, Lana could see better days in the future episodes of Raw. We can only find out in time.
