Lana (C. J. Perry) spent her formative years in Latvia as a ballet dancer, and spent time as a model, singer, and actress before joining WWE. Usually, wrestling promotions prefer to promote from within. It’s rare to see somebody without a wrestling or sports-related background put in such a prominent role, but they needed somebody to act as Rusev’s mouthpiece, and Perry’s resume fit perfectly.
Vince and HHH are supposedly butting heads over Brrrrrock’s opponent at WM 31. Vince wants Dwayne Johnson, and HHH wants Reigns. The Rock didn’t look so effective last time he was in WWE when he feuded with Cena. I guess Vince wants mainstream attention for the extra dollars, which is why he pushed for Batista’s presence prior to the release of Guardians of the Galaxy, and that nearly backfired. Maybe it will attract a few extra network subscribers, but the Rock lives the Hollywood life, while Lesnar lives to fight and doesn’t waste his time with flash and glamor. Pseudo-realistically speaking, Lesnar would squash Johnson into Rock Jelly, but a WM main event has to look like a potentially even match, and Johnson’s no more of a challenge than David Arquette. Their match would look like such a futile example of pandering.
