Wrestling career

World Wrestling Entertainment (since 2013)

In June 2013, Perry announced that she had been signed with WWE and sent to their NXT development division . She made her debut on October 23, 2013 in the episode of NXT, under the ring name "Lana" and worked with Rusev . In the November 6th episode of NXT, Lana became Rusev's social ambassador because he used a Russian accent. Lana made her main roster debut in the SmackDown episode on January 31, 2014, in which she and Rusev appeared in a number of promos over the following weeks. For years she accompanied Rusev through the various brands and title fights.

On the February 29, 2016 episode of Raw , Lana confronted Brie Bella during a backstage section on the grounds that Bella's fans only supported her out of pity for a "bad husband". On the March 14 episode of Raw, she distracted Brie during a tag team match against Team BAD Naomi and Tamina, which resulted in her losing and joining Team BAD.

On April 11, 2017, Lana was drafted as part of the Superstar Shake-up for SmackDown . Lana returned on the June 6th episode of SmackDown Live and stepped unsuccessfully to compete in the upcoming women's Money in the Bank match while also starting a feud with Naomi. She defeated Billie Kay on the SmackDown Live episode on May 22, 2018 to qualify for the Women's Money in the Bank match, her first win in the ring. However, she couldn't win the Money in the Bank Match. At the end of July, she was put in a feud with Rusev and Aiden English against Andrade Almas and Zelina Vega .

She kissed Bobby Lashley on September 30, 2019 on an edition of Raw , during Rusev's Universal Championship Match with Seth Rollins . After Rusev was fired, Lana stayed in character and mocked him on social media. Lana then started a feud with MVP after trying to get Lashley as an ally. At Backlash, Lashley failed to win the WWE Championship as MVP and Lana had an argument at the ring, which distracted Lashley and allowed Drew McIntyre to defend his title. After that, the feud between Lashley, MVP and Lana ended.
