“It’s so funny that you bring up the picture because I am so- I feel so good that I really didn’t f*ck up you know and for so long I hit myself on the head and regretted oh my god I maybe we shouldn’t have gotten engaged then.”
“I didn’t even put up a picture. I sent it to my friend, and you know, I guess you know, someone leaked it. TMZ got ahold of it and then basically TMZ just said we were engaged and so we the story got cut and we got blamed for it. Personally, I got blamed.”

Although the offence seems paltry, WWE punished Lana quite severely. WWE took the Ravishing Russian off television for a long time, while her fiancee treaded water. While the storyline got cut, Summer Rae humiliated Rusev on an episode of Raw after he lost to Ryback. She actually brought up the TMZ report and called him a b*astard on live television.
As for Lana, she did not appear on TV at all. “I got in trouble, I wasn’t on television for three months. And I was on television straight for two years. And I was not on television for three months, I was made to feel that it was all my fault. I had to take the blame. And for years I thought maybe it was my fault.”
