I’m not sure if I have the power to crown BC’s favorite WWE Diva, but I’m going to go ahead and say it’s the ravishing Russian, Lana. Yes, she’s not really Russian, but she’s a former FSU cowgirl who totally commits to her pro-Putin role. She’ll trash anything from classic American cities to “fat Americans.” For a PG show, she really takes a dig and I appreciate that.
On Sunday, Lana and Rusev’s act took to Houston for a house show and for once they engaged in an American pastime—trashing Rockets center Dwight Howard.

According to the Houston Chronicle:
Howard sat in the front row and took nonstop abuse from the villainous wrestlers, and handed it right back. So much for trash talk from NBA rivals that Howard is “soft.” When Lana, the “Ravishing Russian,” told the crowd that “Houston is famous for failure, especially your Houston Rockets,” Howard stood up and waved a souvenir WWE championship belt at her.
You know, because he doesn’t have the NBA equivalent to wave. (Sorry, it was too good to resist.)
On a separate note, it appears that the Dwight hate is spreading across sports now. Though it looks like he enjoyed the rest of his night shamelessly self-campaigning for All-Star Game votes:
