Lana (CJ Perry) Comments on Her Making a Potential WWE Return in Future

Former WWE talent Lana, also known as CJ Perry in AEW, has been absent from wrestling since her departure from AEW in July of 2024.

A recent episode of The Ariel Helwani Show featured Perry as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Perry’s thoughts about when she might make a potential return to WWE to be at Rusev’s side.

“Lana, right now, is exiled in Siberia. She let her country down and is doing work there. CJ, when the time is right, I will appear. Hopefully that will happen sooner rather than later, but in the meantime, I’m focusing on writing for Uncrowned. I love new journeys. If I can be in the world of storytelling and entertaining, if it’s on a podcast, stand up, writing a wrestling column, I am very grateful that I can stay in the business or storytelling and hopefully entertain and put a smile on faces.”

Lana also gave her thoughts about if she wanted to return to work with her husband.

“That would be a dream, for sure. I love working with my husband. One of my favorite things to do is collaborate with create with other creatives, and I think my husband is one of the most creative, smart, funny, athletic, iconic wrestlers and creative minds that I know.”
