Kurt Angle Believes Lana Is In Her Element During Rusev-Lashley Storyline

Lana and Bobby Lashley are set to get “married” on Monday’s WWE Raw. And though the storyline between Lana, Lashley, and Rusev has been met with a mixed reaction from the audience, Kurt Angle has high praise for the job Lana has done during the angle.

“I wasn’t crazy about it at first, but Bobby, Rusev and Lana have made it interesting. Lana really stepped up. Her pouting, complaining, SCREAMING, and not making sense half the time has been very entertaining. Lana is in her element,” said Angle when answering a question about the storyline in his weekly Facebook Q&A.

The storyline has seen restraining orders, fake pregnancies, sex addiction accusations, interrupted dinners, and more since it was revealed Lana had been cheating on Rusev with her hot hot boyfriend Bobby Lashley. Off-screen, Lana and Lashley have both stated they’ve received death threats over the storyline.

Other highlights from the Q&A.

What was your favorite part about the Team Angle faction?

We were badasses. Shooters. The real deal. And we won all the world titles. We broke up far too early. Should have stayed Team Angle for a few years instead of 8-9 months.

What was it like working with Kevin Nash in TNA ye had great chemistry in the segments ye did.

Kevin was very professional, he knew the biz very well, and he knew what drew money. Kevin was great to work with. I loved it. He knew I was the workhorse of the company. Kevin was very smart;)

Strangest place you ever wrestled

In my Olympic years, I wrestled in Siberia in an arena that literally had gigantic holes in it. The temperature outside was 20 degrees below, so with the holes, it felt like it was 30 degrees inside. All the wrestlers had to keep their winter jackets on until right before the referee would start our match. So we’d throw off our jackets and run to the center of the mat to start the match. The only clothing we had on were our singlets. That was it. Not a good scenario.

Probably been asked before but, which is your favorite moment with Stone Cold?

As great as our matches were and they were really great, I enjoyed the backstage segments with Stone Cold. He was funny and entertaining. It was special. That chemistry only comes around once in a lifetime.

Fightful will have live coverage of Monday’s WWE Raw beginning at 8 p.m. ET.
