WWE Confirms Lana/Rusev Engagement, Hints at Storyline Involvement

– WWE has acknowledged the real-life engagement of Lana and Rusev in a new post on WWE.com, hinting that it may be used in the current TV storyline involving Rusev and Summer Rae. The post teases that Lana had “a change of heart” after Summer Rae proposed to Rusev last week on Raw and suggests that the engagement will be followed up on tonight on Raw:

As first reported by TMZ, former U.S. Champion Rusev and Lana are reportedly engaged. The Ravishing Russian had been romantically linked to Dolph Ziggler in recent months and Rusev fielded a proposal from Summer Rae just last week, but it would appear that any lingering problems between the power couple have been resolved. Why did Lana have a change of heart? Tune in to Raw live at 8/7 C on USA Network for more, and stay with WWE.com as this story develops.

We have been reporting for the past month or so that WWE has been discussing the idea of pairing Rusev back up with Lana, as the company feels Lana has fizzled a bit with live crowds since she split with Rusev and became a babyface.
