Lana says her real-life partner in WWE served divorce papers on her birthday

Lana, who is signed to WWE under a "Legends" contract, has launched a new podcast, Identity Crisis, and the guest for her kick-off episode was none other than her husband and Monday Night RAW star, Rusev.

The heel duo discussed various topics, from professional to personal, during their chat session. At one point, while talking about their complicated relationship and the time they were separated, CJ Perry revealed a shocking fact that Rusev served her divorce papers on her birthday.

The Bulgarian Brute did not deny that he pushed to finish the papers overnight, and he also revealed that he even contacted the delivery company to get the delivery before her special day.

“It was so on my birthday. He tried to overnight the divorce papers. I’m not even kidding. He literally tried to make sure they got there. Yes! Yes! Because he thought I was filing it too,” she said. (H/T: Ringside)

The duo reconciled earlier this year after being separated for a brief time and are now beginning a new IVF journey, as Lana revealed on her Instagram story last month.

The former WWE champion's current run on RAW

Former United States Champion Rusev made his return to World Wrestling Entertainment earlier this year after a short stint with All Elite Wrestling.

Currently, The Bulgarian Brute is chasing Dominik Mysterio's WWE Intercontinental Championship. He has competed for the red brand's mid-card title three times and, unfortunately, fell short of capturing the strap.

He competed for the WWE IC Title in a Triple Threat match against "Dirty" Dom and Penta with the title on the line at Saturday Night's Main Event XLI. However, The Judgment Day member timed his heel game plan perfectly and retained his title, promoting the former US Champion to continue his journey of chasing the strap on Monday Night RAW.

That said, all eyes are on the 39-year-old star and whether he manages to capture the IC Title anytime soon.
