- While there has been a  lot of buzz surrounding Lana’s training regimen and her debut in the WWE ring, fuelled by her tweets about training at the WWE Performance Center, including posting in-ring photos, reports suggest that her training has been mostly focussed on getting into shape.

While she has been lifting weights and doing endurance training, it has not been related to in-ring training which is a totally different thing altogether, though she is fit to return to WWE TV.

The past month or so has been fuelled by speculation on the ‘heat’ surrounding Lana from the WWE quarters, over the leaked real-life engagement to Rusev, who she was embroiled in a feud with on TV.

Reports indicate towards the heat being still there as she was backstage in Nashville during last RAW, but was not used on TV and was seen mostly keeping to herself. Lana lives with Rusev in Nashville, which is why she accompanied Rusev in the first place.
