I guess her family lived in Russia for a while when she was a child; that was when she picked up Russian. But I believe she is from Texas or somewhere down south.
She meant they weren’t watching wwe product cause she spoke with American accent live with the Bobby lashley stuff. Total divas is for reality tv fans moreso than wrestling fans.
I watched it because it has alot of good bts scenes hidden in there. You can skip alot of the reality crap, but tyson kidd and Daniel bryans injuries are heavily documented on that show
That's storyline was their punishment for breaking kayfabe. Lana and Miro were in a storyline where they had broken up and Lana was with Dolph Ziggler, during the feud Lana and Miro posted on IG there getting married or something like that and it PISSED Vince McMahon off!!
she’s from Florida 😂😂 she grew up in Latvia though thats why her accent was so believable. I remember her being in a group signed by Ne-Yo, they didnt last too long
@rodrigoodonsalcedocisneros9266 basically when Liz Olsen first started playing Scarlett Witch in the MCU, she spoke with an accent. But after Civil War, she starting using her normal American accent
well originally Rusev and Lana was just a rip on Rocky IV and she was basically doing Bridgette Nielsen from that movie. I saw them drop it and just figured it was WWE logic like nobody cares anyway.
The Bobby lashley story breaks Kayfabe. For those who don’t know, everyone sleeps with everyone in the business. It’s how you get over. Oh and everyone including the engage in sexual relations with Vince McMahon.
I feel like even before 2019 she was softening the accent down. I feel like at some point they said she was losing her accent the longer she lived in America as an explanation.
If anyone has ever read the Meg novel series which is about megalodon and the source material for the two shity megalodon movies that came out in 2018 and this year with Jason statham, the second book is called the trench. Hence the name of the movie that came out this year. But the book is absolutely nothing like this shit movie that they put out. The book has a character named Celeste. And the description of that character is absolutely positively spot on with Lana's original WWE character. She speaks with a Russian accent especially in the audiobook you can really hear the similarities. But they described her as a gorgeous blonde with big "feminine features" if you catch my drift. And she has her hair pulled back in a bun and wears the same type of sexy business woman outfit that Lana wore when she first came out. If they actually made the movie to be spot on with the book, and had that character, she would have been the absolute perfect person to cast.
Reminds me a lot of Nikita Koloff. When he spoke in his normal voice, he sounded a lot like his long time friend WWE Hall of Fame member Road Warrior Animal RIP.
She was super heeling it up.. I remember her defending President Putin so hard that some people literally got angry 😂.. WWE apologized for it after the backlash..
If anyone followed her Instagram. It wasn't hard to find clips of her speaking without the accent. This was way back when she was managing Rusev as the Russian.
I remember when Edge tried to keep kayfabe with her during an interview about a movie they were shooting together, and he said he couldn't believe her American accent 😂
Lana spent most years of her childhood in the Latvian Soviet Socialist Republic, where her father worked as a Christian missionary hence her Russian accent comes naturally to her
She was a great character WWE dropped the ball on her especially when she come out on Smackdown challenged Naomi for the womens title to a massive ovation
Her Russian was terrible. I sent her videos to a Russian friend and she said Lana didn't even make sense and she's not speaking properly for a Russian. She wasnt fooled for a second.
I remember when Lana was in a promo video promoting a movie she was in with the Miz on Raw, and she was speaking in her Russian voice saying that imitating an American accent was easy, and just started peaking in her normal voice.
I kinda liked how they slowly faded it out at least, rather than going cold turkey like they did with Kofi. Also she actually did grow up in Russia, even if she isn't Russian by ethnicity or nationality. So it's not too far off from the truth.
This is one of the few times I've heard her speak normally. I remember seeing a few bits of the lashley stuff but I honestly wasn't watching much at all at that time. It's still weird hearing her have no accent. Just means she was good as Lana lol😂
Whoa! ALL tea, NO shade, what happened to her face?! She's a beautiful woman and still is , but if you look at her face, she has to many CC's of filler. CJ, you're better than any industry standard standards always have and will be! There is no need for this. Wishing you nothing but the best in life , success and happiness, BUT DONT GET ANYMORE! ❤
What did she mean whe she said,"Well I guess they haven't been watching the Product much." Because the people are watching the PRODUCT of WWE more than any point in time in a long time!
You are wrong it's dropped massively to a measly 1.4 and 1.3 million views a show . 2 years ago. It was around 2 to 2.2 mil. Last year 1.8/ 1.7 and now 1.4 million. The product is dying. And if you think am lying. Google the ratings and viewership
It's not that they aren't watching the product... it's that she's hot so no one is bothered by something like that because they aren't watching for the story in the first place lol.
To be honest I haven't been watching the product much. I kinda fell out of watching weekly around 2015 or so. I still watched every once and a while and still watched every PPV, but the last few years I haven't watched much wrestling at all.
My mother and grandmother (God rest her soul) truly believed that her accent was so real that when she started speaking normally, we all actually hated her for it. In reality, her non-accent voice is actually annoying.

Her accent was so good that I actually thought she was Russian 😅

@@larry01902 She's from Florida. So, yes South, but not "South" like you're inferring. :p
She actually lived in Russia at one point.
@@ForeverDegeneratebud Florida is as "South" as you can go 🤦♂️

the accent was fantastic, loved it!

No one would think you would watch that sirrr
@@casswashwash1070reality-tv fans arent watching total divas lmao
@@lynpendry well, someone clearly was. it was extremely successful
I watched it because it has alot of good bts scenes hidden in there. You can skip alot of the reality crap, but tyson kidd and Daniel bryans injuries are heavily documented on that show
I have no idea how Miro did that storyline wit Lashey and Lana
Because Vince McMahon, that's why.
No wife of mine be kissing another man for a pay check tell ya that fella
That's storyline was their punishment for breaking kayfabe. Lana and Miro were in a storyline where they had broken up and Lana was with Dolph Ziggler, during the feud Lana and Miro posted on IG there getting married or something like that and it PISSED Vince McMahon off!!
@@kylecormack8827That's why you wouldn't make it on TV.
It's not Miro it is Rusev
It just shows that she portrayed that Russian accent to perfection
she’s from Florida 😂😂 she grew up in Latvia though thats why her accent was so believable. I remember her being in a group signed by Ne-Yo, they didnt last too long
She is fine. Seriously. Plain and simple, was always one of my favorites.
She and Stephanie are the most stunning women to ever work for this org in front of the camera
The real living Barbie doll
nahh that will forever be Torrie Wilson bro
@@luisviton0206 can’t argue that! They’re both equally Barbie-esque
No hoe like Lana or Margot Robbie can come out as beautiful to me.
All the women who work at WWE tbh
@@fupalovergood point. Chyna was a total barbie doll 🙄
She got the Elizabeth Olsen treatment
What? IR?

What does that even mean?
Even without makeup Lana is simply drop dead gorgeous
She’s had work done for sure
There is definitely a good amount of makeup there lol
Bro, she's using makeup, is just light
@@GoGetYourShinebox???
@@dipper5835okay now we don't have to be rude tf
never understood vince's obsession of the whole cheating story line other than them purposely trying to destroy families, kids, and lives.
That was a punishment for breaking kayfabe by announcing it that Rusev and Lana were getting married. In storyline they splittend up.
Wow! Amazing interviews with amazing people! Thanks for all the hard work!
Like Santino Marella or Nikita Koloff, it's cool to hear Lana in her real American voice.
"You know she's Russian, right?" -Big E
"Yo. Chill chill chill!" -Xavier Woods
She nailed the russian accent.
Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I actually found Lana's Russian accent more pleasant than her true accent.
Guy is underestimating the fans
she never forgets bobby lashley
No woman will forget the chocolate that big.

The Bobby lashley story breaks Kayfabe. For those who don’t know, everyone sleeps with everyone in the business. It’s how you get over. Oh and everyone including the engage in sexual relations with Vince McMahon.
You're right. I haven't watched it very much until every last year
I feel like even before 2019 she was softening the accent down. I feel like at some point they said she was losing her accent the longer she lived in America as an explanation.
Stop this botox , you are spoiling your beauty
She really is mate & she's to young for that $hit ones they start it's a downward spiral
U r a 100% correct
Facts
She's actually 57 so it must working.
@@washingbasket9702she’s 38.

Spot on! Perfectly said, dear boy. 👏
First book was pretty good way better then the movie. Didn't know there was a second one. Gonna have to check it out
How DARE you insult the cinematic gold that is The Meg and Meg 2!!!!😂
aint readin allat
yappin

Always a dig somewhere when you hear AEW staff talk
I remember her glorifying Putin
She was super heeling it up.. I remember her defending President Putin so hard that some people literally got angry 😂.. WWE apologized for it after the backlash..
@@kenrickkahnI wonder how much of today's crowd would think the opposite 😕
Bro if a "Russian " portrayed character its almost a default heel thing to do especially to a western audience. Come on now
@@SALVATl0N no even those who think russia is in the right think Putin is an asshole
Seriously, people are allergic to context and nuance.
I haven't heard it until she went to AEW
I remember seeing her for the first time with miro. And the only thing that was stuck on my mind was my god! Those legs!!!😂😂😂
It's funny, because she was " Sevetlana" when she first started...
The funny thing was not her switching to no accent. It was that she would switch between Russian Accent and no accent during the same promo.
She was my biggest wwe crush for the longest time
Imagine Russeve just comes through the door😂
We've been too busy watching your product in other places besides how you sound what we see 😂
Like? 🤓
@@hiren_bhatt we are busy looking at her haha
bobby lashley is main reason behind
i thought everyone knew the accent was fake. her gimmick is literally bridgitte neilson from rocky 4. ya'll still think wrestling is real?
It's not that we thought it was fake, it's that most people have not heard her normal accent.
Miro, Miz, Montez, and Buddy are all winning the game of life.
'16-'19 was the dark ages of wrestling. It felt like a thing that used to be a thing in the 90s that got memorialized by Brian Zane and Adam Blampied.
She is gorgeous 🥰
Lana never heard a Russian accent. Members of my family are Russian , I could always tell the difference.
Vince always thought Lana was too fine for Rusev, which is why he was trying to link her up with Ziggler instead .
I finally got to see C.J. in person at Worls End. And all I got to say is DAAAAAMN!!!!!
GORGEOUS!!!! HOT HOT HOT!!!!
If anyone followed her Instagram. It wasn't hard to find clips of her speaking without the accent. This was way back when she was managing Rusev as the Russian.
I remember when Edge tried to keep kayfabe with her during an interview about a movie they were shooting together, and he said he couldn't believe her American accent 😂
She's so beautiful
Ive never heard her voice, ever, until this interview. (I cannot be the only one who didnt watch wrestling from 2010 until 2020ish lol)
Lana spent most years of her childhood in the Latvian Soviet Socialist Republic, where her father worked as a Christian missionary hence her Russian accent comes naturally to her
She was a great character WWE dropped the ball on her especially when she come out on Smackdown challenged Naomi for the womens title to a massive ovation
Lana sounds beautiful with & without the Russian accent!
Her Russian was terrible. I sent her videos to a Russian friend and she said Lana didn't even make sense and she's not speaking properly for a Russian. She wasnt fooled for a second.
Greating fror 🇧🇬 Bulgaria .Miss Lana ❤
Childhood favourite Lana 🔥😍😁
no lana…we just werent watching you…
I just now heard her real voice for the first time 🤷♂️
I remember when Lana was in a promo video promoting a movie she was in with the Miz on Raw, and she was speaking in her Russian voice saying that imitating an American accent was easy, and just started peaking in her normal voice.
I remember when she starred with Edge in some random film and Edge joked that Lana's American accent was really good in an interview.
1:52 facts Rants he is also one of our better players this season.
I THOUGHT SHE WAS FROM NORTHERN IRELAND. FROM SCULLY LFC COME ON YOU REDS YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE LFC FOREVER.
I kinda liked how they slowly faded it out at least, rather than going cold turkey like they did with Kofi. Also she actually did grow up in Russia, even if she isn't Russian by ethnicity or nationality. So it's not too far off from the truth.
If people thought your accent was real, then you did a great job !
She's spot on, people chime in and complain about things they don't even watch. Unless you watch every week, shut up the shows not for you then.
It's a good thing no one watched Total Divas or the gig would have been up much sooner.
I think that was like déjà vu really when Kofi did his Jamaican accent, because I honestly thought she was Russian
Now this content is some goood shiiitt!
The ravishing russian was her best run. The Kayfabe and mystique was strong.
2019 was a fever dream…
Cj is so cute outside of the ring
Omg she is so beautiful
She is one of the most gorgeous women as a blonde and most stunning women when not a blonde.
No, you're right. I havent been watching. Once someone other than the bloodline and dom give me a reason to watch, I will.
Her accent was part of her appeal to me. Never understood why they let her drop it.
This is one of the few times I've heard her speak normally. I remember seeing a few bits of the lashley stuff but I honestly wasn't watching much at all at that time. It's still weird hearing her have no accent. Just means she was good as Lana lol😂

Otis real voice had impress me
"They haven't been watching the product much"
Ain that the truth! 😅
By her and her husband can speak Russian, she played the role very well.
What did she mean whe she said,"Well I guess they haven't been watching the Product much." Because the people are watching the PRODUCT of WWE more than any point in time in a long time!

Her russian accent made her hot beyond all reason, and the american accent makes her a everyday Valley-girl
Bro I didn't realize she's so cute
Lana is so beautiful 😍
A lot of wrestling fans don’t watch total divas. It’s kind of its own isolated product
To be honest I haven't been watching the product much. I kinda fell out of watching weekly around 2015 or so. I still watched every once and a while and still watched every PPV, but the last few years I haven't watched much wrestling at all.
Everyone who went to Florida State with her tried telling us it was a fake accent.
No one watches wrestling they just see the highlights
he just admitted to not paying attention to wtf she does without "admitting to not paying attention to wtf she does" 😂😂😂😂
Wow her American accent is really good!
She’s so 2014, folks. Yes, hot blonde. We’ve moved on to Tiffany Stratus or whoever.
I wish she kept the accent on that character
Who didn’t watch Total Divas!!!!! Bring it back! 😂
Я всегда знал что, она не русская женщина. Но отличная работа.
Well, I mean, there are people that still believe Nikita Koloff is Russian. So, I can see this happening, again.
She cut better promos with the accent. Without it she just seems too generic and she seems to be less invested just being herself.
Still floored your one of the Florida state ladies.
Still drooling
My mother and grandmother (God rest her soul) truly believed that her accent was so real that when she started speaking normally, we all actually hated her for it.
In reality, her non-accent voice is actually annoying.
If you have an accent, but you speak without making grammatical errors, then USUALLY you are an English speaking born person. Simple.
I remember seeing her when she and a few other hot girls were cheering for Florida State as the “cowgirls”.
She played a great russian!
