Oct 24, 2022
Former WWE star CJ Perry (AKA Lana) is open to returning to the company, but on the other hand, she wouldn't be averse to joining her husband Miro (formerly Rusev) in AEW, either.
Speaking with the In The Kliq podcast to promote her role in the upcoming season of VH1's The Surreal Life, Perry mulled over a potential WWE return, saying:
"I'm open to everything in life. If I put my dreams in a box, I wouldn't be where I am today. So, I mean, Triple H, he's a genius. Stephanie's a genius. I got hired by Triple H. He paired me with Miro and helped really cultivate that, in 2014, that story and that gimmick and those characters. He really helped me develop the Ravishing Russian, so I think he has an incredible creative mind. I think he is an incredible storyteller and entertaining. If the story is right, if it makes sense, I'm always open to go back to WWE and tell compelling stories and same with AEW. I'm totally open to that too. I love working with my husband and creating and telling stories," said Perry.
Lana was released by WWE on June 2, 2021 with the company citing 'budget cuts' as the reason. Perry has previously said she would want a 'no-cut' clause in any wrestling-related contract she signs.
