Rusev Catches Up With Lana
Lana ended up losing the match after Andrade Almas jumped on the apron, and Aiden English ran out and stopped him from interfering. The distraction ended up working however, as Vega rolled Lana up and hooked the tights to steal the win.
Following the match, English tried to apologize, but Lana asked him to leave. When Rusev found his wife, he yelled at English to come back, but Lana said she needed Rusev out there and he wasn’t there for her.
