The former WWE Superstar Lana recently appeared as special guest on Talk Is Jerico Podcast and discussed about several topics including scrapped plans for her win at last year’s WWE Survivor Series traditional 5-on-5 women’s elimination match.
At Survivor Series 2020, Lana became the sole survivor from the team Raw without eliminating any other superstar. Lana won the match after Raw’s Nia Jax and Smackdown’s Bianca Belair were both counted out at the same time.
Lana was set to win the match but WWE initially planned the table spot for her. Nia Jax had put Lana through the table nine straight weeks and planned tenth time at Survivor Series. While speaking, Lana revealed that there was a a table spot for her but Roman Reigns had table spot during his match against Drew McIntyre. Nia and Reigns had discussion about it and finally Reigns got over it.
“We were supposed to do this whole table spot on the show. And then Roman did not want, ’cause he had a table spot with (Drew McIntyre). So there was some major pushback. The Samoans, Nia and Roman, you know, that whole thing,” said Lana. “Like, oh my god I’m caught in the middle of this drama. And so, we had a huge spot. Like I was supposed to be laid out in the very beginning. I was supposed to get in the ring and Nia snatch me, ’cause the whole point was everyone on the team were heels and I was the only ‘babyface’ and they’re gonna be all against me, and she was gonna lay me out.”

Lana also further revealed that at the end she was supposed to win the match by beating Bianca Belair with Bayley interference, but the whole plan is changed after scrapping table spot.
“Then at the end, I had this whole sequence with Bianca, and Bayley was supposed to get involved.” Lana continued, “Bayley was supposed to get involved and cheat, so I prove myself and I win. We were all so excited about it. I was excited I was gonna get to wrestle, you know. So then, there was the whole Samoan rivalry that happened, so the whole table spot got taken out.”
