So let’s get right into it with this Lana story and she’s not allowed to return right
now
Charlotte Flair’s big return made some fans forget all about Lana
Before Charlotte returned, it was Lana that was building this close bond with Aus-ka and
making a lot of noise in the Raw women’s division
We still don’t really have a clear answer on what the whole Lana, Nia Jax, and the commentary
table situation was all about
Some reports claim that it was just something that the individuals backstage felt was very
amusing and funny, so they kept throwing Lana throw the table
Then when everyone started catching on and asking if it was a punishment, that’s when
everything flipped around and the word started to get out that Lana was about to receive
a big babyface push
We sort of saw the start of that.
Lana was the sole survivor and won the survivor series match for Team Raw, she earned an opportunity
to face Aus-ka for the raw women’s title, and she then formed a tag team with Aus-ka
and they became number one contenders for the tag team titles
However, we never got to see Lana compete in that match for the tag titles because she
was written off of television the week before survivor series
WWE had Nia Jax and Shayna stomp on her legs and Lana hasn’t been seen since from this
storyline related injury
That left an open spot for Charlotte to return and they actually won the tag titles
That puts Lana in a weird situation for her return since Charlotte literally stole her
tag team partner
Reports first claimed that WWE originally intended for Lana to only be gone for 4 weeks,
but’s it’s been well over 4 weeks and still no word from Lana
Well Lana took to twitter to give an update on her health status and why she’s still
not allowed to return to WWE right now
Lana had this to say when posting a new picture of herself from a magazine:
“I shot for Bello Magazine back in November before my injury.
Not going to lie, it was nice to remember what it felt like to be out of sweats, a cast
and an ankle brace.
Can’t wait to come back”
So in reality, Lana is thankfully not injured at all, but storyline wise, it seems like
her character is still sidelined with this apparent “leg injury”
To Lana’s credit, she continues to do an amazing job of keeping that WWE immersion
alive
If she posts any new Instagram pictures, you’ll notice that she always has on her arm cast
and leg cast just to remind that fans that she’s still technically “hurt”
A lot of fans are wondering if Lana would be a good surprise entrant for the women’s
royal rumble match and that’s a great idea right there
We know that Lana obviously isn’t injured, she’s just on the sidelines waiting for
them to write her back into the show, so a surprise entrant in the Royal rumble match
would be quite the surprise
But where do you take Lana after that?
Apparently they had that big push and everything else in store for Lana, but it sort of feels
like they forgot about her story?
Maybe they’ll pick up from where they left off at but it’s hard to tell
Obviously, there is a good story already in place there for Lana and that’s of course
having tension with Charlotte for taking her spot, she feels like that should’ve been
her standing next to Aus-ka as the tag team champions
So it does make sense for Lana to feel a certain type of way towards Charlotte or Aus-ka
Lana can really direct her focus to either Charlotte or Aus-ka and it’ll make sense
So whenever Lana does return, it just feels like we’ll have to see her reaction towards
the tag team of Charlotte and Aus-ka
Are you looking forward to Lana’s WWE return and what did you think of her health update?
—————————-
It’s been a few months since The Iconics split up out of nowhere and shocked both the
superstars and the WWE fans
Of course this breakup was harder than most tag team breakups because Peyton and Billie
have been together since they were younger and obviously spent a majority of their WWE
careers together
Now they’re on separate shows and the Iconics are long gone
Peyton Royce recently spoke with Instinct Culture and she really broke down the emotional
feelings she had at the time and all the backstage drama that was going on with the breakup
Peyton had this to say:
So, I thought at first it was going to be liberating because we had been a team our
entire WWE career and I absolutely loved our time together, but I was looking at the silver
lining when it happened.
I was like “how can I make the best of this opportunity” because it is what it is, it’s
an opportunity to go out and see what I can do on my own.”
“That happened late last year, and I feel I’m still trying to find my footing on my
own.
Billie (Kay) is my tag team partner and in real life, she’s my best friend, so to not
have her with me – even just at work, we work on separate days now, she’s just my
support system that I feel I’ve lost that and I’m trying to rebuild that within myself,
trying not to rely on someone else for that.
“So, it has been really tough, I’m so happy for her.
She’s absolutely killing it on SmackDown right now, she’s a comedic genius, and she
is just thriving, and I’m hoping I can get there too.”
Peyton commented on Billie Kay again when speaking with Rick Ucchino:
“She is absolutely thriving right now.
She is an absolute genius, and I’m so happy for what she is doing on SmackDown.
I don’t know if I’ll ever get over it.
It was like such, it tore my heart apart, and I’m still trying to put those pieces
back together.”
“I couldn’t say no to Lacey, purely for the fact that I did not have Billie, I could
not have Billie by my side, and Lacey was searching in desperate need for an opportunity,
and hey, I’m not one to argue with that.
I need opportunities too, so I will go along with her.”
“Lacey has this fearless personality and she does not care who she rubs the wrong way.
She does not care what she has to do to get those opportunities.
I’m going along with her so I can get the opportunities, but do I love being her tag
team partner?
No.
No, I miss Billie.”
Peyton then had this to say when speaking with SportsKeeda:
“I mean, it was right there in that moment we found out what the stipulation was that
day, maybe the day before, I don’t know.
I don’t have a very good memory.
But, it really was, Billie and I, we, more than just who we are as WWE Superstars; we
have grown up together.
“
“So, for us to like, you know, our whole dreams, our whole journeys have been together.
So for that to be just torn apart and like you said, so abruptly, I feel like I’m still
digesting it, and I’m still trying my footing without her.”
Billie Kay even responded and said: “I feel the exact same.
My life partner”
So that was all of Peyton’s comments from three different interviews, but all of the
interviews share the same theme, she’s still very heartbroken about the split from Billie
Kay and obviously Billie feels the same
Peyton Royce also cleared up the drama and speculation that many fans were wondering
about.
How long was this breakup planned for and did they know about it well in advance?
Peyton revealed right there that they found out on the same day as Raw from that week,
so yeah, both members didn’t really get the chance to mentally prepare for the breakup,
it just literally happened over night, and they had to deal with it
Peyton also gave a reasoning on why she teamed up with Lacey Evans, she tagged with her because
she misses having someone by her side, but like she said herself, she would always pick
Billie over Lacey Evans
Billie Kay is thriving on Smackdown like Peyton said, but a lot of fans are hoping to see
the same success for Peyton
Bayley even recently called Peyton Royce Sasha Banks’ twin that nobody knows about, so
hopefully we definitely get to see Peyton Royce featured more on Raw
But what are your thoughts on today’s wrestling news about Lana not being allowed to return
yet and Peyton Royce’s explanation on the breakup?
