Lana is being pushed to be a top star in WWE
Lana has been given a huge push on Raw. 2020 was not her year, and she felt the pain of it more than anyone else in WWE. The Superstar was sent through the commentary table over 10 times by Nia Jax in what seemed like the biggest burial in WWE history.
However, there were bigger plans in store for her, and WWE effectively turned it into a redemption story. Lana was written off Survivor Series last year after suffering a storyline injury. She returned last night at the Royal Rumble match to put an effective end to her storyline with Nia.

Using her size against her, Lana was able to eliminate Jax but now will meet her foe yet again. If Naomi and her manage to win the titles, it will be an emphatic victory.
