WWE Rumors: Lana's new in-ring gear possibly unveiled
What’s the story?
In a recent post on her official social media account, WWE Superstar Natalya may just have revealed her Total Divas co-star Lana’s new in-ring gear.
In case you didn’t know...
Lana (CJ Perry) debuted in WWE back in 2013 solely as her real-life husband Rusev’s valet. However, with The Bulgarian Brute temporarily out of action due to injury, The Ravishing Russian has reportedly been booked by the WWE for a run as a singles competitor.
After being drafted from Monday Night RAW to SmackDown Live, the WWE’s blue brand has been airing vignettes of Lana’s in-ring debut for a couple of weeks now.
The heart of the matter
Several reports have emerged that the WWE has allotted Lana the ‘Emmalina’ gimmick that was initially planned for Australian Superstar Emma. Besides, Lana has been training at the WWE Performance Center to hone her wrestling skills and regularly posts updates regarding the same on social media apart from occasionally wrestling at NXThouse shows.
Prior to last night’s episode of Total Divas, fellow WWE Superstar Natalya tweeted a photograph of herself standing beside Lana, who appears to be dressed in a brand new ensemble that is rumoured to be her new in-ring gear.

Author’s take
Looks like Rusev won’t be the only one doing the Crushing from now on. Despite her relative inexperience as a wrestler, Lana’s real-life background as a professional dancer will most definitely come in handy when she debuts on the WWE’s blue brand.
With athletic freaks such as Naomi and Charlotte Flair circling the top-end of the SmackDown Women’s Division, The Ravishing Russian will have to work pretty hard to stand out from the rest of the pack on Tuesday nights. Rusev Lana Crrruuussshhhh!!!
