The current long-term plans for Lana involve completing her babyface turn and then making her the female face of the company. Lana is currently in the middle of that turn, with Rusev and her having more and more tension as a duo on-camera.
According to sources, Vince McMahon feels that the babyface turn and elevation will require her to be revealed as actually being American. The plan for right now is to keep her name as Lana, although there has been a small amount of talk of a possible name change to C.J. Lana’s real name is Catherone Jo Perry and the idea is that C.J. should (in theory) makes people think “hot blonde” because of Pamela Anderson’s Baywatch character C.J. Parker.
It would maybe work on people who remember that fact, anyway, as Baywatch has been off the air for fifteen years and Anderson left three years before that. But again, that is just something that garnered a small amount of discussion.
