Last night on Smackdown, Lana scored her first single’s victory on the WWE main roster. The victory also earned her a spot in next month’s Money in the Bank ladder match.
Aiden English unveiled a “Lana Day” sign shortly before the match and led the crowd to chant “Lana Day” throughout the match. Lana’s opponent, Billie Kay, was distracted by English’s actions on the outside which allowed Lana to hit a facebuster and get the win.
WWE cameras caught up with her backstage after the win. Lana spoke about the possibility of her and Rusev becoming Mr. and Mrs. Money in the Bank. Rusev qualified for the men’s Money in the Bank match by defeating Daniel Bryan in the main event of Smackdown on May 8th, 2018.
Lana’s WWE Wrestling Career
Lana has won a few matches on NXT house shows but her first win on the WWE main roster came in the 1st round of the Mixed Match Challenge. Rusev and Lana defeated Bayley and Elias before being eliminated by Charlotte Flair and Bobby Roode in the 2nd round.
Not including house shows, Lana has wrestled 13 matches on the WWE main roster. She’s now lost 11 of those matches and won 2. She’s wrestled for the Smackdown women’s championship 3x and lost all 3 to Naomi. Although originally hired to serve as a valet for Rusev, Lana has been wrestling consistently on house shows since being sent to NXT for additional training last year.
