WWE neglected Lana for years. Even though the company still occasionally slams her through the table, the Russian surprisingly has a title opportunity next week. Needless to say, Lana is not taking the opportunity lightly.
In a recent video, The Ravishing Russian drank Raw Eggs to prepare for her upcoming match with Raw Women’s Champion Asuka. Liv Morgan joined her as she drank the eggs.
Lana cited Rocky Balboa of the Rocky franchise as the inspiration. Rocky, too, was an underdog like her. Liv was visibly appalled with the fiasco.

Later, she shared another video where she is kicking a board marked “Asuka.” She proclaimed that she is “going to kick Asuka’s head off.”

Lana got her first shot at the women’s championship
The Ravishing Russian was nothing but an eye-candy when she debuted alongside her husband Rusev (now Miro). It was not until late 2019 that she started focusing on her singles career.
She and Liv Morgan share an interesting history as well. After her, Rusev, and Bobby Lashley’s love triangle ended, Liv Morgan proclaimed Lana’s love. This revelation led to the dissolution of Lana and Lashley’s marriage.
However, the angle had no future. Lana teamed up with Natalya and continued her in-ring career.
On the other hand, Liv Morgan reunited with Ruby Riott to restart the Riott Squad. Bobby Lashley formed an alliance with MVP and Shelton Benjamin to form the Hurt Business.

Last week, Lana and Natalya’s team seemingly ended after Natalya was “over” her. On the same night, ironically, the Ravishing Russian won the battle royale when she eliminated Natalya last.

We’ll have to see if Lana will be able to overthrow Asuka when the time comes; there are rumors that the match will be a squash match. But, WWE can surprise us anytime.
