WWE Superstar Rusev is predicting his fiancée Lana will "take over" the company’s women’s division.
The 30-year-old grappler is certain the blonde beauty is going to have a phenomenal career as a wrestler now she has made her in-ring debut at ‘WrestleMania 32’, at which she competed in a 10-woman tag match albeit competing on the losing fivesome.
Rusev – who got engaged to Lana in October 2015 – told BANG Showbiz: "She is so professional and she went out at ‘Mania’ and showed the world that she’s one of the best Divas. She’s one of the best female wrestlers in the world and she’s going to take over the women’s division very soon. I showed her how to do all those kicks, I trained her. Her big kick is called a Lana-Land kick."
Rusev revealed Lana – who will star in season six of E! show ‘Total Divas’ – was very nervous before going out to the ring at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, but he was able to calm her nerves in the dressing room.
The ‘Bulgarian Brute’ – who had his own match at ‘WrestleMania’ with his League of Nations tag team partners against The New Day – shared: "She was very nervous beforehand so I had to calm her down backstage. But that’s how you feel when you have your first match at ‘WrestleMania’ – the grandest stage of them all. But when she got out there she handled it so well, I was very proud, she looked amazing, she looked stunning."
Rusev will spend the next week in the UK and Ireland for ‘The WWE WrestleMania Revenge Tour’ and if he gets a chance he is hoping his tag team partner Sheamus will take him out to see the sights in his hometown of Dublin.
Discussing the Dublin leg, the ‘RAW’ star said: "Sheamus has always told me he’s going to take me out. We’ll see, I’m holding him to that. There’s a lot of things I want to do with him. "Depending on how much time we’ve got I would love to go around Dublin and see the sights. I’ll be carrying a big banner saying Rusev is here!"
