On-screen Lana and have Asuka have become tag team partners as they battle the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler.
Off-screen, the two have become best friends, as they train and make TikTok videos together.
Speaking to Rick Ucchino of Sportskeeda, Lana explained how the two have bonded away from the WWE cameras.
"There's so many things that I love about Asuka. She is such a badass. She is one of the greatest wrestlers, in-ring competitors of all-time. And no one doubts how incredible she is. So, you know, and she turns to me and says, 'let's do a tik tok dance trend,' and I'm like, 'wait, what?' We need to eat raw eggs and we need to train, but she'll be like, 'no, no, no.' And as important to do this dance trend, to warm up, and be happy, and you know, have fun, and we do it. We have fun for 10 minutes and we have this fun tik tok dance and everyone loves it. It's like Asuka is showing me that we need to fight and be focused but also to have fun."
She continued by saying, "When I was doubting myself, the person that was always saying her affirmations, she reminded me to say my affirmations. And then she reminded me to breathe and have fun and do a tik tok dance for 10 minutes. She knows that I love dancing and I just think that's what a real friend is."
Lana and Asuka are set to challenge Baszler and Jax for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships at WWE TLC on Sunday. On tonight's episode of WWE Raw, Lana will take on Nia Jax in singles competition.
Fightful will have live coverage of WWE Raw beginning at 8 p.m. ET.
