Lana was squashed by Naomi for the second straight week on Smackdown Live. At the end of the match this week, Tamina came down to the ring and helped Lana up before they walked to the back together.
For those wondering what the heck was going on, we have some rumors for you about the plans for them moving forward.
Several months ago, we posted an article about a potential preview for what Lana’s gimmick will be on Smackdown Live. This included her working NXT live events with a bodyguard named Mary Kate (her name has recently been changed to Sage Miller). Some fans have speculated that Tamina will be taking over the role on the WWE main roster and will be the bodyguard for Lana moving forward.

It was mentioned by Dave Meltzer on the latest Wrestling Observer Radio, saying that Tamina being the bodyguard for Lana is the likely plan moving forward.
Update**
Smackdown’s head writer: Road Dogg on the other hand warns WWE fans not to be impatient with the storyline and indicates that Tamina might not be just a bodyguard:
Is that right?? C’mon guys, y’all are all so impatient

We will obviously have to wait and see what happens.
