Lana On Huge WWE WrestleMania 42 Announcement: “I Cried”
Lana is very excited about this year’s WrestleMania 42, and it is because her husband, Rusev, is on the match card.
The Bulgarian Brute will participate in a ladder match for the WWE Intercontinental Championship at the Showcase of the Immortals this year. The title is currently held by Penta.
Speaking with TMZ Inside the Ring, Lana shared that when she heard about Rusev getting a spot on the WrestleMania match card, she “literally” cried. She added that she was very happy for her husband.
WWE Star Rusev is Nervous About His Upcoming WrestleMania Match, Says Lana
Meanwhile, Rusev is also very excited, but at the same time a little nervous about his Mania match. Lana revealed that Rusev still can’t believe that he is going to be wrestling at WrestleMania this year.
“I cried. I literally, when I saw the match, the card come out, I started crying, because I’m so happy for him. He loves wrestling so much. Rusev is really excited. He’s a little nervous. He can’t actually believe it. He’s like, ‘I can’t believe I’m in a ladder match at WrestleMania,’ like the honor.”
The last time Rusev wrestled at the Showcase of the Immortals was at WrestleMania 35 in 2019, where he teamed up with Shinsuke Nakamura in a fatal four-way match for the SmackDown Tag Team Championship, which was won by The Usos. Months later, he left WWE and joined AEW as Miro.
However, his stint in the Jacksonville-based promotion was short, as he made a shocking return to WWE on the RAW after WrestleMania 41 on April 21, 2025. While he made his return, his wife Lana has yet to make her WWE comeback. For those who don’t know, Lana is signed to WWE under a Legends contract.
WrestleMania 42 will take place as a two-night event on Saturday, April 18, and Sunday, April 19, 2026. The venue for the event is the same as last year: Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada.
