WWE star Lana recently spoke with Scott Fishman of TVInsider.com, and below are some interview highlights:
On training at the WWE Performance Center in hopes of being called to the ring:
“I have been a professional dancer and athlete my entire life,” she said. “I was always drawn to the more physical style of dancing. That is why I breakdance. I love the challenge. The adrenaline rush is there with that.
“Being down in NXT is great. I love training at the Performance Center and doing shows. Even if it’s in front of 200 people, I love wrestling so much that it doesn’t matter the number. When you love what you do, it doesn’t matter the amount of people.”
On Rusev’s injury status:
“He is healing well,” she said. “I try to be there as much as I can, but I have been spending a lot of time at the Performance Center and NXT training. Then, when the timing is right, you will see me in there on Monday Night Raw.”
On the upcoming WWE Superstar Shakeup:
“You see how I react to it. It’s hard for me to say because I love Raw and the people I work with,” Lana said.
“I think SmackDown Live is an incredible show. I think the way they have built the characters has been great. They utilize everyone and have put all the women into compelling stories. It would be an honor to go to SmackDown, too. I’m working hard because one of these days I will go for a championship.”
On her dream WWE opponents:
“Stephanie McMahon is one of my dream matches, but I have a lot of dreams,” Lana said. “Charlotte, Bayley, Trinity, Becky [Lynch], all the girls. The Bella Twins. If both came back. I feel like everyone has something different to bring to the table. Maybe some people can do more flips or some are stronger or some are a little bit faster or some have an intriguing character to pull from. I think they all have so much to offer.”
Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
