Current WWE roster had multiple pair of superstars who are dating each other. If you want the full list you may click here. One of those pairs has Rusev and Lana sharing a relationship for quite a long time. They have been an extremely happy husband and wife ever since tying the knot, three years ago. In recent times Rusev has shared some personal stories of his life through the Bulgarian media show At Cafe.

Starting the conversation, the former United States Champion remembered the first meeting with Lana. Rusev was having a tryout at the Performance Center when he first met Lana. She probably did not even notice since there were more than 100 superstars gathered for the tryout session.

Rusev and Lana then started interacting with each other from the following day onwards. They talked about mic work, in-ring skills and many more in the following days. The then-head coach, Dusty Rhodes in the WWE PC caught them together off-guard. He was the one to make them an on-screen pair channelize the love between them, (courtesy wrestlingINC.com)
“One of these training days is about microphone work and [performance]. She spoke perfect Russian because she used to live in Latvia for twelve years. Our trainer [Dusty Rhodes] was amazed by that, by her perfect English and perfect Russian. I was slowly heading up the ranks and he said ‘If you want to get the most [out of your future career] you need to work together’ and that’s how [our relationship] started. Slowly from just talking on purely wrestling topics, by spending more time together, love happened.”
The Bulgarian Brute then went back to his wedding day in 2016. They actually had two ceremonies in this purpose. Rusev wanted a traditional Bulgarian wedding whereas Lana wanted a beach wedding as seen on Total Divas. They did go ahead with the plan and conducted two ceremonies. WWE even use this on a storyline angle with Roman Reigns, too.l as mentioned in the below comments by Rusev,
“We had an in-ring celebration one time. We had a big cake out [in the ring] but Roman Reigns came and hit me and I accidentally pushed Lana and she fell through the cake. She was all in pink, her face, her hair, everything was [a mess]. We went on our honeymoon after that show. I actually wore my real costume from my wedding at the show and it was tarnished. We went to Seychelles and there was so much washing and cleaning, we had cake everywhere, in our ears, especially her but it was a great show.”
Rusev and Lana had all the tools to become the next top couple in the WWE. But bad creative booking did not take them to the expected level. He is also absent from the WWE programming at present after reportedly demanding time-off from the programming. The last time we have seen him was at the Super ShowDown battle royal on June 7th. His contract is coming to an end sooner which may mark an end to his WWE career.
