Over the past few months, Lana and “The Bulgarian Brute” Rusev have been on a quest to demonstrate Russian supremacy across the WWE Universe. The duo has grown in power with Rusev’s recent win of the United States Championship. With Tribute to the Troops around the corner, will a force emerge and dethrone Rusev or silence Lana once and for all?


“Rusev поражает! Rusev разбивает!” The menacing Rusev emerges from the back looking prepared for whatever is in store for him. He still remains undefeated and his arrogant aura illustrates a monster basking in the effects of success. Following closely behind is the “Ravishing Russian”, Lana. On this particular night, she looks more stunning than normal. She twirls her body to the side atop the entrance ramp, showing off her silky blue, thigh slit skirt and jacket that flaunts her perfectly curved body. The tight suits, while maintaining a certain level of elegance, have become the signature look of the blonde mouthpiece. Lana lifts up the United States Championship to the displeasure from the Bon Secours Wellness Arena. However, the audience's rejection to Rusev and Lana's recent behavior is not enough to dissipate the women's shining smile as she directs him towards the ring.


Michael Cole: We’re back on Monday Night Raw! Our United States Champion is on his way down the ramp, proudly waving the Russian colors.


Jerry Lawler: What a disgrace! They're spreading the wrong message to our demographic. All those two want to do is tarnish the reputation of our great country.


Directly above the steel steps, Lana takes off her client's Gold Star medal and folds it carefully into a reinforced-glass box. She hands the undefeated Rusev his title before entering the squared circle. She watches the monster go down to his knees for his pose, bowing to the mat multiple times in a sign of respect. In the background, Lana claps in support of her recently crowned champion with the Russian flag sitting proudly by the apron. Rusev’s manager brings the microphone to her lips, but is drowned out by the clamorous crowd that shows no love for the power duo and their allegiance to the Russian people.


“Shut up!” Lana yells. “Rusev's opponents over the past six months have all been inadequate failures, just like each and every single one of you. You pathetic Americans teach your children false morals that make themselves weak and pathetic. You are responsible for the failure of your future generations because they all grow up under the American way. Everybody knows that no man can compare to the "Bulgarian Brute", Rusev and certainly no women can compare to my ravishing figure and superior intelligence. This is because Russia is led by the most powerful leader in the world, Vladimir Putin! ”


The crowd again shows their extreme hatred for the champ as he cradles his belt like the legend himself, Harley Race. To his side, Lana grins at the negative reception of her comments.


“This Wednesday is WWE's 12th Annual Tribute to the Troops, an event where we dedicate and honor those who have failed this country. But how can you justify not having your United States Champion on such an occasion? Is there any man who dares challenge themselves against Rusev? If you are worthy, show yourself!” declares Lana.


The arena falls with silence. Lana and Rusev shake their heads in shame at the lack of challengers who take her open challenge.


“Just as I expected, not a single competitor.” Lana starts. “I guess...”


Interrupting her mid-sentence, the familiar song, “Not Enough for Me”, breezes through the eardrums of the South Carolina crowd. The crowd falls silent for a brief moment before realizing who has finally come out to shut up the Ravishing Russian. The sight of a long-legged blonde brings the crowd to their feet.


JBL: Are you kidding me? That's Michelle McCool! She looks even younger than when she first joined the company!


Michelle McCool, who was last seen by the WWE Universe in 2011, makes her way out dressed in tight white jeans and a matching blouse that stops midway down her sleek abdomen. She stops at the top of the ramp to soak in her uproarious response and stare down Lana who is looking on with her glossed lips slightly ajar in shock. This was certainly not what she expected when she issued an open challenge moments ago.


“I’ve been gone for nearly four years now but it's great to finally come home.” McCool states, then pauses and allows the red-hot WWE Universe to cool down. “After clawing my way into this industry through years of hard work, I doubted the fact that I would ever return to a wrestling ring. Lana, I've been watching you week, after week, after week. You come out here and have the nerve to put down the greatest country in the world while hiding behind that brick wall of yours. Do you actually believe for one second that you are invincible? Wake up sister, this is the WWE!"


Lana appears to have gotten over the initial shock of Michelle McCool ‘s return and is amused at what was just said.


“Did I just hear you say that you clawed your way into this industry? That is exactly what vermons like you say you have accomplished. You dance around and put on bikinis, without any talent whatsoever. What is it that you Americans say? Michelle McCool, you are a dirty tramp. Please do us all a favor and crawl back home unless you want to embarrass yourself even more.” says the uncensored Russian.


The social ambassador's verbal assault has completely altered McCool’s attitude. She does not walk to the back but instead retaliates by firmly marching down the ramp and into the squared circle. Rusev backs into the corner, allowing Lana to handle her own matters. Despite her lack of wrestling ability, Lana does not seem at all alarmed by Michelle’s reaction. She stands firmly in place and gets ready to meet an attack from the provoked Diva.


The “Simply Flawless” Michelle charges into the ring and runs at full speed towards Lana before jumping atop her and pummeling her to the ground. She grounds the Russian and let's in several shots to the face. Lana’s been caught off guard and frantically kicks her legs, causing her skirt to suffer the consequences and gradually ride up her thighs. McCool grabs the delicately made bun on Lana’s scalp and tears into her hair to the frantic screams of her opponent.


The WWE Universe has finally gotten something they've requested for since day one: a well-deserved attack on Lana. In an act of desperation, a trampled Lana, while yelling in pain from the tugs at her blonde locks, grabs the white heel that has fallen off her feet. She points the soles to the former WWE Divas and WWE Women’s Champion and viciously wails multiple times at the temple. After several shots to the head, the babyface finally falls off the 29-year-old manager as she succumbs to the brutal heel shots.


Lana rises to her feet and adjusts her flowing hair that has been transformed from it’s original styling. A slight look of puzzlement arrives to Lana as she looks around the arena and notices a peculiar amount of camera flashes. Suddenly, Lana realizes why. In her tussle with Michelle, her blue skirt has risen and a moderate portion of her round butt cheeks have been exposed the entire time. Disgusted by the WWE Universe, Lana pulls her skirt back down to its intended length and pats it down to ensure she has fully covered herself back up. The social ambassador yells in a high pitch scream at the fans who were glued onto her assets.


The 5’7” Diva now looks nearly unphased from the brief beating brought forth by Michelle McCool. After spending a moment to recuperate and regain her bearings, she begins to point and laugh hysterically at the fallen Diva. Lana begins to think to herself about her next course of action, pushing her already heavy ego.


Lana slowly and tantalizingly approaches until both of her bare feet are planted on each side of Michelle’s unconscious body. Lana bends down and grips onto the former Diva Search Contestant’s white cropped shirt. With absolutely no resistance, Lana peels it off the body of the oblivious Diva. The manager undresses the Florida Native as she unknowingly lets her torso come exposed.


The "All-American Tomboy”, almost ironically, is lying on her back with her patriotic red, white and blue bra out for the WWE Universe to see. The Russian laughs maliciously and throws the white top to the outside of the arena. A dazed Michelle McCool attempts to scurry, trying to crawl to the ropes for leverage,showing a great amount of cleavage along the way as her head is still in insurmountable pain.



Lana once again turns to her personal weapon of mass destruction. Rusev is nodding his head with a slight smirk. He’s always known about her prow. He’s always known about her belligerence. However, to see it in action for the first time in the WWE ring is something else. It has brought a strange feeling of delight to Rusev. His mouthpiece is not just a talker, but a Diva willing to fight for the Russian Federation with the same passion that he does.


Lana matches Rusev’s smile and then barks a command in Russian tongue. Following her command, he walks to Michelle’s half-unconscious body and, with ease, rolls McCool from her stomach to her back. He stomps on Michelle’s back to finally awaken her from her brief slumber. The commentary booth at ringside begins to scurry.


Jerry Lawler: No Rusev! Don't do what I think you are about to do!


As Rusev prepares to lock on his signature Camel Clutch submission on the defenseless woman, Lana pushes him out of the way. The two exchange eye contact momentarily while Rusev is just as surprised as everyone else in the building. She demands for her brute to watch the ring as her yearning to inflict pain on McCool has taken over her thoughts.


Lana hovers over Michelle and pulls the American's arms around her thick legs to prevent any and all escape routes. She proceeds to wrap her arms around Michelle’s jaw and extends the depth on her squat.



Jerry Lawler: Lana’s locked in the Accolade! That’s enough, this has gone too far!


JBL: Where the hell are you going, King?


Jerry “The King” Lawler slams down his headset onto the announcers table and scurries out of his chair and hops onto the ring apron. The longtime commentator meets eyes with Lana and he pleads with her to let the defenseless Michelle out of the grueling hold. Lawler’s efforts, however, are all done in vain. Rusev runs towards him and connects with a clothesline that sends the Hall of Famer tumbling to the floor unconscious.


Michelle has fully come to life as she howls in torturous pain. She taps her hand over and over again on the mat while the ring announcer tries to sound the bell in hopes to stop the fight. Rusev's mere presence is enough to push back any form of security that may come in the way. Lana leaves the patriot in her agonizing hold as long as possible before slamming her face viciously into the ring floor. Things are certainly looking less than swell for the women responsible for several classics during her day. Has she lost her ring mastery?


The babyface begins to stir. She is barely aware of her surroundings as she rolls from her belly to her back. She places her hand on her forehead and falls into a state of daze. Lana sits on her midsection, looking down on her opponent in the most condescending manner. The "Bulgarian Brute" gives the dominant woman a microphone.


“How fitting is this? Michelle McCool, you came here with national pride, like your disgusting undergarment symbolizes. However, just like all of your countries heros, you are nothing more than fake. You’ve let your country down and fulfilled the American woman stereotype. Unlike Russian women, you people spend thousands of dollars to enhance your bodies and throw yourselves to every man in the area. Is this really what you want people to remember about the Michelle McCool? An ignorant teacher who sucked her way up to the top? How pathetic! Now, let me teach you a lesson.”


With McCool still pinned, Lana reaches to her patriotic bra and wraps her hands around it. She goes for the most incomprehensible action imaginable; she begins to pull. Michelle screams and clenches her bra and fights with all her might as a contest of strength begins between the two. On one side is a Diva looking to memorize her foe. The other side, consisting of Michelle McCool, is looking to prevent herself from the horror of televised nudity.


Lana proves to be relentless in her battle to humiliate and strip Michelle. The “Simply Flawless” Diva puts all the energy she has into saving her modesty and pride but she is far too hurt, far too fatigued and far too weak. Her limited article of polyester is being stretched away from her grasp. To the returning wrestler's dismay, she is hanging on by just thread. She has suffered wardrobe malfunctions in her past experiences with in the ring but nothing close to this.


With a piercing squeal, Lana tears the brassiere straight off of her body. Half of the arena has been reduce to crickets with the the other fifty percent, consisting of men and teens alike, losing their minds. McCool looks down at her bare breast, knowing that millions are focussed on the same thing.


McCool’s eyes widen. She understands that there is no longer room for imigination. She comes in contact with the presumptuous glare of Lana. The shock has temporarily paralyzed Michelle. Reality finally begins to set in for the former champion who again looks down at her nude torso and sends a piercing scream through the South Carolina stadium. She hastily extends her arms in an attempt to cover her exposed breast but Lana firmly grabs her opponents wrists and pins her arms to the mat.


Michelle presses her cheek into the mat, as if to hide her face from the onlooking crowd. She screams again at the top of her lungs and thrusts upwards, but cannot make the leave under the weight of Lana.


Michelle has had to prove herself since day one in the WWE. She started her career out a lowly “Diva Search” contestant but worked hard for years to secure her legacy as one of the greatest female performers in the modern era. In the matter of seconds, that legacy has crumbled on top of her.


Lana turns to her Russian counterpart and nods in his direction before turning back to Michelle McCool. The social ambassador to Rusev cannot contain the pleasure from the sense of accomplishment she is feeling when she looks down at the woman below her.

The woman that came back to the WWE to challenge her has utterly failed. Her puffy eyes are producing tears that have soaked her cheeks. Her exposed breast firmly jiggle in place with every weak attempt at escape she makes.


Lana finally releases the grip on her wrists, allowing McCool to wrap her arm across her chest, but then grabs her hair and effortlessly pulls her upward to the foot. She then launches her towards the corner where Rusev stands.


In a perfectly synchronized act, Rusev meets McCool with a Superkick to the jaw. The flying force creates a booming thump that silences every member in attendance. Michelle’s head snaps backwards and she falls hard to her back to the delight of the Russian duo.


The 29-year-old Diva stands over her fallen opponent, her arms raised over her head in triumph. Lana motions with her hands a downwards motion which lets down a giant Russian flag that falls from the rafter. She poses with her head held high and arrogance level at an unprecedented peek. Lana has certainly, in her mind, impressed the entire Russian community.


Lana retrieves the microphone and calls for the one and only, Russian National Anthem. The duo from Moscow hold their hands around their back in anticipation for their song of choice. In the progress of saluting, another theme plays instead of the National Anthem and it is that of Layla El, McCool’s former tag team partner. She comes dashing with speed from the back dressed in a red tank top, denim shorts, and cowboy boots. Despite her and Michelle's differences in the past, their friendship always saw through personal animosity.


After her encounter with the two-time Women's Champion, Lana is no mood to fight again and quickly attempts to flee from the ring and behind Rusev. Layla nearly catches the sadistic villain as her fingertips barely come in contact with Lana but her interruption unfortunately came a few seconds too late. She quickly attends to her stripped and knocked out best friend instead and covers her breast with a jacket. The Brit stares down Lana and Rusev who leisurely walk backwards up the ramp. They are pointing and laughing at the scene inside of the square circle. Rusev proudly sways the Russian flag back and forth, proud of another triumph over the Americans. As more boo's start sounding coherent from the WWE masses, Lana winks and blows a kiss goodbye before walking past the curtains.


Michelle McCool has spent several years away from wrestling. She made the decision to return in order to stop a growing depraved power with no thoughts of defeat. In her mind, there was no doubt that she was the one who would end the madness. However, she now lies lifeless and disrobed at the hands of the victim she came to stop.

Thanks for the feedback, Jimmie. We're glad you enjoyed it. Perhaps it was Lana's intentions to remove her pants after the Russian anthem, but Layla cut her off.

[smjimmie1348]

Yea you are right and you are welcome glad I could help show support for this awesome story and can't wait to see what happens in the future.

[DrVillian]

Great first chapter sets up the rivalry very nicely for Michelle to want revenge on Lana. Looking forward to more good job.

Thanks, DrVillian. We're working hard on Episode Two (Shouldn't be too long of a wait this time around) and Michelle is definitely out for revenge.

[MickGesitt]

You weren't kidding about this being a more mature story. Michelle McCool gets laid out and stripped topless in the first chapter. Awesome work.

I've been dying for a story where Michelle McCool gets humiliated. When it comes to stories on this site Michelle always seems to get away with all the crap she pulls. I was very happy to see Michelle come out on the losing end for once and that was just the start.

As for Lana, since AJ's leaving and Paige has lost her Anti-Diva gimmick to become a watered down Total Diva, Lana is currently my favorite Raw Diva. Its not that I'm anti-American. Its because she actually has a gimmick and she plays her character wonderfully. Gimmicks are hard to maintain when you're a trying to be a reality star by playing "yourself". Rusev is just a generic big guy and is pretty boring with a boring submission move for a finisher. Lana generates all the heat for the pair and is really the only interesting thing about Rusev.

I also enjoyed the way you made up for Lana's lack of wrestling experience. She's a manager, not a full-fledged wrestler so she'll need to use all sorts of underhanded tactics to come out ahead.

I can't wait to see what happens next with Lana vs the reunited LayCool.

Thanks Mike, we can always count on an enthusiastic response from you

I agree with the Lana statements. Pro wrestling is not all about wrestling and I appreciate workers that can really get into their characters. Lana plays the cocky pro-Russian perfectly. We're glad you enjoyed the first episode and I can confidently say that episode two takes it up a notch.

[kratos7]

I don't like at all storylines like the Rusev and Lana's one, studied by WWE just to satisfy the proud Americans when those 2 will get finally defeated, and I especially find riducolous the fact that they're using the rivalry with Russia like if we were still during the cold war. And they are not even using a Russian or nearly Russian girl to do it.

That said, despite a storyline which I don't like, I really appreciated the first chapter of this serie, I didn't expect things to get so serious at the first chapter, but I liked it much and can't wait for the next one. My only doubt is about how C.J. Perry (Lana) would get embarassed by Michelle, considering that she has even played some topless scene in some movie and seems not so afraid of showing her body. But I'm sure you already have some good ideas for it. Good job.
