* FakeNationality: Lana is billed as being from Moscow, but is actually American-born with Portuguese and Venezuelan heritage. She did live in Latvia for years both before and after the fall of the Soviet Union, moving back when she was seventeen, explaining her fluency in Russian and not making it quite as strange as it could have been.

Read Creators Pest. The page says explicitly that the creator (in this case, Vince, or at least some other representative of WWE management) has to admit that they detested the character. While there are many reports from second-hand accounts that corroborate that Vince didn't get the gimmick, he never came out in public to admit any dislike for the storyline.

* CreatorsFavorite: The storyline between Lana, Rusev, Dolph Ziggler and Summer Rae was apparently Vince's favorite on TV at the time. Years later, Summer described it as "Vince's baby".
* CreatorsPest: Vince [=McMahon=] apparently convinced himself the "Rusev Day" thing was a joke, and Rusev was ordered not to play to the crowd when they chanted it. They even put his segments earlier on the show in the hopes the chants would go away. When Rusev countered that his merchandise had sold out, Vince tried to claim they simply didn't make enough of it ([[InsaneTrollLogic and whose fault is that?]]).
* ExecutiveMeddling: WWE management were furious when Rusev opted to cut his long hair, and getting choke slammed multiple times by Big Show was apparently a punishment for doing it without asking.
