Lana made her Smackdown debut last week and already is being pushed to the top of the card. On Wrestling Observer Radio , Dave Meltzer spoke about why Lana is being pushed so fast up the card, and the reason is because WWE badly wants a very attractive female on the top of the card and to represent the division.
It was originally supposed to be Eva Marie, but with her out of the picture, the company decided to go with Lana.
