First let me point out that I was a huge fan of Lana and was one of the many chanting, "We want Lana!" at Extreme Rules in Chicago. (which is where I feel she started turning face) I absolutely loved Lana, but I feel it was more the character she was portraying than just her good looks. Not only that, I feel she was even hotter as the Ravishing Russian. Now they turned her baby-face just to be Ziggler's trophy standing outside the ring? She lost her edge, she used to have this aura to her that she had Rusev wrapped around her finger. I think what made her so likable to many was that she seemed dangerous, controlling, and no-nonsense; which was different and sexy. Now it seems like they ruined that side of her, and she is just like anyone else now. I actually loved her heel gimmick. She had several catchphrases; "Shu... TUP!", "Rusev CRUSH!", also playing off the idea that Americans are stupid and lazy. It just worked. (granted for over a year it worked). I feel like they are making her baby-face so she can do a huge heel-turn, screw over Ziggler, and rejoin Rusev later. That is something WWE likes to do so things don't get too stale, and it would actually make sense and provide a payoff for this crap... So my question is; do you prefer her as a face or heel? and why? Also where do you think they will go with her next?

Heel and it's not even close.
As a heel, she was something different. She carried herself like she was incredibly disciplined and it seemed like she controlled this monster that was Rusev. As a face, she is a generic Diva. She randomly kissed Dolph Ziggler one night with zero build, and lost everything that made her unique and enjoyable.

Heel. Although the old timey Russian look was over the top at times.
Allegedly, WWE is preventing her from wrestling because of an unknown medical condition and not because she doesn't know how to work.

Heel. I just wish WWE would have done something different and made her the evil vicious one. Made it where Rusev was so smitten that he would "CRUSH" anyone on her demand.
I hope somehow/someway WWE resets themselves here soon. Cause I'd much rather have Lana with Rusev & Dolph with Summer.

She was best as a heel with Rusev & there was no need to split them up.
Gotta be honest though, I really don't find her attractive. At all.

Heel all the way. She went from playing a crucial role in Rusev's character as being the only one capable of controlling him to being his vulnerable victim (seemingly overnight), to essentially being Zig's eye candy at this point.

Rusev and her never should have broken up.

Obviously as a Heel!
She is a horrible face! This whole feud just sucks. The only good part about it is Rusev and the stuff he does in this feud is not even "good".
And i know WWE is PG and they don't got the balls to do something like but why can't they do something like Summer Rea beating Lana up. Rusev standing over a beatin up Lana and nearly putting her into the Camel Clutch instead of this whole Lana looking at the stage until Ziggler comes out to save the day bullcrap. It could be so easy to give Rusev a huge amount of heel heat and Lana actually having a legit reason to be together with Ziggler.

Rusev and her never should have broken up. Couldn't agree with you more, all that hype and buildup; a year-long streak, just to be squashed by Cena...

He's turned this chickencrap into gold. He's so far above Ziggler as an overall performer and shows that Lana needs him more than he needs her.

I just want Lana to get in the ring, but I do have to agree she is a much better heel. For some reason, it feels like she can't do the Russian accent as well when she is a face.

I just want to see her in a match! However, I prefer her as a heel

If she had dropped the fake accent Kofi Kingston style and became a legitimate diva , that woulda been cool
But pairing up with Ziggler and staying the "ravishing Russian" who used to berate america in and week out did nothing but hurt her.
Now I'm reading some "undisclosed injury " prevents her to wrestle in general.

Heel. She's not a good face at all and I really want her away from Ziggler.

After this whole Ziggler and Rusev feud is finished Lana will end up fizzling out as a face. Unless she ends up turning on Dolph then she could still be useful.

Heel I want to see Rusev with Lana and Summer. One on each arm.

Heel by miles. She's somehow hotter as a heel if that makes sense. Keep the hair down though. Yep heel.

Neither to be honest, but if I had to choose I would definitely say heel. Her and Rusev were pretty mean and intimidating when they were at their peak heelness.

I think it's more about her being with Ziggler than her not being heel. I feel like people are over Ziggler, and that subsequently, people are disinterested in Lana. The biggest problem is this storyline. It was cool when dead fish were being thrown around. But now I'm bored.
