Lana is officially back under the WWE umbrella—but it’s not quite the return some fans were expecting.

While her husband Rusev (now once again going by his WWE name after a run as Miro in AEW) is locked in for a full-blown in-ring return, Lana’s comeback appears to be on a different track. According to PWInsider, Lana has signed a Legend’s contract with WWE—not a full-time performer deal like Rusev’s.

The news comes as both Lana and Rusev were spotted in Las Vegas ahead of this weekend’s WrestleMania festivities. PWInsider confirms Lana is in town with Rusev, further fueling speculation that she could appear alongside him on WWE programming in some capacity.

While the terms of the deal weren’t made public, a Legend’s contract typically means appearances for promotional content, video games, documentaries, or merchandise opportunities—but not regular matches. Still, her presence in Vegas has fans wondering if she’ll at least show up on-screen for Rusev’s WWE return, which was confirmed by Big E during WWE World on Thursday.

The pair recently reconciled after a brief split in late 2023, and now they’re back together—personally and professionally.
