I didn't want her to be the victim. We've seen that. Been there, done that. Yup........a million times. I didn't agree with splitting them either but apparently Vince loves her and feels she can be the "next Sable" which is quite frankly ludicrous. But its still 2nd to me behind splitting the Wyatt's. They need to be reformed ASAP with Bo Dallas joining after he is revealed to be Brays brother. The Wyatt's do need to reform immediately. I like Bo's current gimmick, they just need to give him more attention.

Thing that I liked about Lana other than the obvious aesthetics was her power and scathing promos on the US. Aaaaaaaand its gone so she can be a victim to feel sympathy for

The whole thing had been a series of bad ideas. Having a Russian heel was a terrible, outdated idea. Granted they got two great performers who made it work. With this spilt there's a very good chance they they could ruin both characters. It's going to take some fantastic bullcraptery to have Lana "come out" as an American without the audience crapting all over it. And if they don't, then what? I really don't think that they should be throwing women on TV with no experience and hoping that they'll become great wrestlers later on. They got lucky with Trish Stratus. If that doesn't work out then Total Divas isn't even an option unless they don't care about any amount of logic or continuity.
And what happens to Russev? They had a solid worker with a bad character that he made work. He was a great heel and they ruined him just to put over John Cena. Again. I have a feeling that Russev is going to be the next Bray Wyatt. But how many times can they tell us that these two should be looked at with fear and credibility before the audience spots buying it. A monster heel needs to win every now and again.

I just don't get why they spent so much time shoving him down our throats with his Rocky IV gimmick only for Cena to take three straight on him (four if you count the shenanigans from FastLane), make him look like a punk and take his girl away from him too. Like, why give the guy a Summerslam match, or feuds with Henry and Big Show, or put him on Team Authority, or ANY of that if it's all for moot a few months later?
And this is coming from a dude whose favorite movie is Rocky IV.

unless he gets Lana back I can't see him rebounding in his career. Even before his injury he obviously dropped down the card, think they lost interest once he was no longer undefeated. Happens to just about every undefeated heel in the WWE for the last 8 years or so

Both of them could be perfectly fine. Rusev goes off to be an uncontrollable monster and Lana comes out as a US citizen who doesnt speak Russian at all. But nope, cant go that way. Rusev who has been a beast since his debut is now a softy cause he doesnnt have his woman and Lana is still pretending to be Russian even though everyone knows she's from Tampa living in Nashville!

Didn't they just do to him what they do to anyone getting too hot ahead of time? Strip him of what was working to cool him off. Took away the Alexander, the winning, and Lana. I expect he'll have plain black trunks next, no more flag, jobber intro with no entrance. I've lost count of how many times they've cooled guys off by stripping them of things. Too bad too, I thought Rusev and Lana were great as a sort of kitsch act.
Maybe they have a rigid system where they break up groups on a fixed schedule no matter how good they are together to try to make singles stars. I can't see the point in breaking up the Wyatts beside something like that.

I agree with the OP 100%. Just like there was no reason to split the Wyatt Family there was no reason to split Rusev and Lana. They complimented each other perfectly. Lana had mic time. Rusev had someone to speak for him. Together they were over. Since breaking up its like Rusev doesn't have that upper midcard aura he had with her. Now he just feels like any other guy. Losing to Cena 3 straight times hurt him big time but loosing Lana may be looked upon as the move that killed him in a few years. Hopefully I'm wrong because Rusev won me over last year but without Lana it's hard to see where he'll go next.
As for Lana just like the OP said are we suppose to forget that she bashed America all last year? Are we suppose to believe Rusev forced her to say those things? How can we when she said on Raw that she did all that for him and there country? Its frustrating that the WWE never thinks these things through.

Like TRW has said numerous times.
Pair her with Cesaro.

I really wanted her to be the evil one. The driving force in the relationship. The one that knows he'll do anything to please her. I didn't want her to be the victim. We've seen that. Been there, done that. This would have been the better way to go for Lana. That being said I still have yet to see the fuss about Rusev where everyone sees him as world champion material.

They effed it up.
Instead of letting it have a slow build, they pushed the fast forward button on the storyline. Lana was literally breaking up with Rusev and then making out with Ziggler on the same night.
Not to mention, the pandering to get Lana over as a face by having her dance with Fandango and stuff.

It was a ridiculous decision with seemingly no payoff but isn't that what most of WWEs booking is like on RAW these days? There is no continuation and no long term. If like Joker says Bo Dallas joins the Wyatt Family (which, by the way, is a notion I agree with and would like to see) my reaction would likely be 'That was a great segment tonight... but they'll have no idea what to do with him in 2 weeks'.
In my opinion, the continuation booking on a week-by-week basis is at the lowest it's ever been in the history of WWE.

It was stupid to split them up. Let's face it, Lana's only getting over because she's hot. This. 100%

And how far can Lana go in the WWE just because she is hot? She will end up in the Divas division and that will be the end of her in the WWE. She'll be forgotten like the other Divas in the roster such as Layla for instance. If anything, this split with Rusev is killing her career in the WWE. And Rusev being legitimately injured is not helping in the storyline with Lana and Ziggler. Really hope they have her go back to being with Rusev. Both of them have great chemistry together.

I hope they reunite. Rusev is sadly not half of what he was without Lana.

Well, I don't like the OP but he's got a point.
