Rusev & Lana Storyline Might Get Dropped

[twan83]

There's a lot of speculation among fans that WWE may drop the current storyline with Lana and Rusev after the civilian plane was shot down in East Ukraine last week and the ongoing controversies surrounding Russian President Vladimir Putin. A similar situation happened back in 2005 when WWE nixed the Muhammad Hassan character after the July 7th bombings in London.

That Vladimir Putin shyt was kinda corny anyways, I don't see why its even necessary for his character

 

[DLo]

They could keep the gimmick but just take all the references to Russia and Putin out of the promos. Just make it some "We are here to beat your best!". Not sure why they took it all the way there with the Putin stuff anyway

Drop the storyline if you want.

But don't drop her accent.

And definitely don't drop her hemline.

 

[I-Hate-You]

Shame what happened to Rusev. Dude was the GOAT!

Yeah that Putin shyt was grating my nerves by the second time they brought it up. It's unnecessary especially when Lana is so good at riling people up as it is.
