Lana Takes Aim At WWE’s Inconsistent Booking

Lana is no longer with WWE after a surprising release, but that isn’t the end of her story. The former Ravishing Russian is still under a non-compete clause, but she could find herself working elsewhere soon enough. She can only hope that a new company would book her a bit better.

While speaking to Talk Is Jericho, Lana was able to talk openly about her inconsistent WWE boking. She revealed a big angle with Chelsea Green and Mickie James was taped, but then she got a call saying that Vince McMahon decided to cut the whole thing. Then they had to go back and re-shoot things.

“One time Nattie and I did a whole segment with Mickie James and they debuted Chelsea [Green]. So Nattie and I were at the Performance Center. I was managing Nattie. It was the first time I was managing her, and Chelsea was supposed to debut with Mickie, and we did it all. We did it all, we went home, I’m in bed, and we get a call from one of the writers that they’re cutting it. Vince looked at it and he went ‘no, cut the whole thing.’ And we had to go back to film another backstage, all of it. Chelsea didn’t debut. It was constantly weird stuff.”

There were rumors that WWE taped a segment with Mickie James and Chelsea Green, and Lana seemed to have confirmed it. They were reportedly going to go with an obsessed fan angle, but that hit the cutting room floor. Then Green was sadly released before she could make that comeback to television.

We’ll have to see what’s next for Lana’s career, but she likely have plenty of other stories about WWE’s inconsistent booking process.
