The current long-term plans for Lana involve completing her babyface turn and then making her the female face of the company. Lana is currently in the middle of that turn, with Rusev and her having more and more tension as a duo on-camera.
According to sources, Vince McMahon feels that the babyface turn and elevation will require her to be revealed as actually being American. The plan for right now is to keep her name as Lana, although there has been a small amount of talk of a possible name change to C.J. Lana’s real name is Catherone Jo Perry.

So basically completely get rid of the Lana character as if never existed.
I like the face turn and them wanting her to be the female face of the company, the more lana the better, but I don't like them getting rid of the character and make Lana/Rusev look like a joke by saying she was American all along.

well if that's true they would kill any kind of push or credibility Rusev has because what a chump not to know his valet isn't Russian, but then again he's supposed to be Bulgarian himself.
I just dread that they're going to wrap Lana up in an american flag outfit for the rest of her time on the roster.

Lana is awesome and the more of her on TV, the better, but, this could really, really hurt Rusev.

It's not perfect, but if they do reveal her as American, he has to have been in on it. It would still be odd, but it wouldn't make him look like a fool.
Either way,I have mixed feelings on splitting them. Rusev has shown lately that he doesn't need a mouthpiece anymore, but I really like them together.

If they do it, it should be Rusev that reveals it. Be berating her and then finish it with, "You aren't even Russian!"

They should have Zeb Colter kidnap her and take her to his survivalist Bunker in the Ozarks.
There, Colter brainwashes her into becoming a Real American like Jack Swagger.
Cena rescues her Marine/ 12 Rounds style.
Afterwards they theorize that the only reason she survived Colter's brainwashing was because deep down she was an American at her core.

I like that idea the guy in the other thread had of her removing her skirt.
That would be good for starters.

Even though I'm not particularly a fan of the guy, Rusev will be lost without her.
On the flip side, the more Lana, the better.

So they are going to badly hurt a wrestler who has what it takes to be a main eventer for the next decade plus for a diva who may never wrestle a match in her career? I love Lana as much as the next guy but these are the kind of decisions that just shouldn't be made. It's too risky. If they are hell bent on doing this they should at least establish Rusev as a main eventer first. A win vs Cena would go a long way but that doesn't look like it will happen. At least not clean.

This just puts the nail in the coffin for Rusev. Well, the Cena making him his bitch thing started it, but this just ends it.
