Wedding News: Identities of the Exes, Popularity on YouTube, Sonya Deville Responds

Identities

In last night’s wedding segment, Lana’s ex-husband was played by indie wrestler EJ Risk, who is part of the Create A Pro Wrestling school and promotion in Long Island, NY, which is headed by Curt Hawkins and Pat Buck.

Lashley’s ex-wife was played by indie wrestler Karissa Rivera, who has appeared in a couple of WWE matches as an “enhancement talent.” On October 17, 2018, she lost to Lacey Evans on NXT, and on April 9, 2019, she teamed with Kris Statlander in a loss to the IIconics on SmackDown.

The wedding officiant was NYC-based actor Rick Malone, according to PWInsider.

WWE posted this video of what happened after Raw went off the air, which was basically just Rusev and Liv Morgan continuing to taunt Lana, who had cake all over her face.

During this past season of Total Divas, Sonya and Mandy Rose pitched a storyline where they would fall in love with each other, and WWE began to tease it on TV, but the story was then dropped.

You, on Total Divas, earlier this year: "Mandy and I are meeting with producers to pitch the first-ever LGBTQ storyline in the WWE.”

So they used you're idea & gave it to Liv Morgan & Lana instead 👎.

You & Mandy would have been much better suited… #LanaLashleyWedding #Raw pic.twitter.com/v1sk6DWcKz
