Lana is a former WWE superstar who got released by WWE this year after spending 8 years in the company. The former WWE superstar attempted to change her look frequently, following which she even got a call from Vince McMahon.

Lana signed with WWE back in 2013  as a manager for Rusev. However, the former WWE superstar transformed into a primary in-ring role in 2016.

Recently, while talking to the East Coast Autograph Auctions, Lana talked about her time in WWE. Lana revealed that when she colored her hair blue, Michael Hayes asked her to change it. She also got a call from Vince McMahon about the blue hair.

She said (h/t: POST Wrestling), “So, there you go and then I also got a call from Vince [McMahon] about the blue hair, so I had to be blonde forever.”

“Even when I went brown. Not even brown, I had like light brown hair and I wore my hair — what I did for Royal Rumble last year. I got a call, I was told, ‘That wasn’t Lana’ and I had to put my hair in a pony, I had to go lighter and I couldn’t wear the color gold,” Lana added.

 

Lana’s last match was against Mandy Rose and Dana Brooke when she teamed up with Naomi in Raw. This match took place earlier this year in May, after which WWE released Lana.
