Lana Weighs in On Ronda Rousey’s Potential WWE Debut, Women’s Royal Rumble & More
Lana spoke with 101.1 FM The Beat’s Adrian Hernandez for a new interview discussing the Women’s Royal Rumble match and more. Highlights and audio are below (per WZ:
On being put on the main roster with Rusev: “I was only in NXT for 6 months before I got brought up, which is very very quick. At minimum it usually takes you about 4 years to get really really good at wrestling.”
On Natalya & other superstars who have helped her: “So many of the women have helped me. I would say Nattie has helped me a lot as much as we get in wonderful fights on Total Divas! Me and Nattie are like sisters. You love them, but they might just drive you up the wall a little bit. But she’s an incredible veteran, an incredible wrestler, and she’s always trying to help me in the ring. Naomi is also incredible, as well as Tamina. I’m very grateful for those women.”
On the women’s Royal Rumble: “I can’t even believe it, it’s so incredible. I always wanted for the women to have a Royal Rumble, and I’ve been dreaming of this for years. I’m very thankful to be able to be a part of it, and words can’t express my gratitude.”
On Ronda Rousey’s potential debut: “That’s the exciting thing about the Royal Rumble – the surprises. I remember I would always wait and think oh my gosh who is going to come out, and if Ronda Rousey wants to come then that’s awesome. I think it’d be great if we have her and anyone else who wants to make a surprise, we’re ready for that.”
