The audience kept chanting "Rusev Day" making Lana very angry

The Lana-Lashley wedding commenced and they walked out to the ring to get married. The minister messed up the vows and Lana got very angry while the audience called for Rusev.

Lana yelled at the crowd before saying her vows and then yelled 'Lana Day'. She couldn't wait any longer and jumped on Bobby before Lashley said the vows that Lana herself wrote.

The officiant asked if anyone objected to the marriage and a random guy in a suit came out to object. He said he was Lana's first husband and they got married when she turned eighteen and then she left him for Rusev.

Lana's wedding night was ruined by some uninvited guests

The guy said that Lana would leave Lashley too because that's what she does and Lashley chokeslammed him. The wedding continued and Lashley's first wife came out to stop the wedding.

Lana slapped her out of the ring and yet again they continued before Liv Morgan came out to object. Apparently, Morgan was in love with Lana and she betrayed her. Lana and Morgan got in a brawl and had to be separated by force.
