Lana has got more momentum as singles competitor especially with her feud with Nia Jax that includes her table streak. It helped her to establish as babyface on the red brand.
According to the Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select, Lana hard work and passion drive her to succeed even creative didn’t have anything for her. After pairing up Lana with Naomi, WWE wanted to turn them as prominent tag team.
“More details on Lana’s time with WWE emerged to Fightful in the days following her release, and it would be noted that if Lana didn’t have anything going on, it wasn’t for lack of her trying,” wrote Ross Sapp. “We’ve heard several stories about how she (and Naomi) would follow up about their creative and constantly try to ensure they were doing something.”
This report also states that WWE had different plans for Lana before return of The Queen Charlotte Flair but they are scrapped. Later, Vince McMahon assured Lana that she will have more creative plans following that but surprisingly she got released by the company.
“There were significantly different plans for Lana earlier this year before Charlotte’s return, but we’re told that Vince McMahon personally assured her that wouldn’t be the end of the Lana character and they’d have more for her,” Ross Sapp continued.
