Former WWE and AEW personality CJ Perry (Lana) is ready to return to the wrestling industry.
Speaking on TMZ’s Inside the Ring podcast, Perry shared that not only is she part of the podcast now, but she will be taking stand-up comedy classes as a way to strengthen her skills when she returns to the wrestling indie scene as a manager and possibly as a wrestler:
“I will be returning back to professional wrestling and I’m going to be hitting the indie scene. Definitely on the mic and managing, 100 percent. And that’s also why I’m enrolling in stand-up, because I want to be so good on the mic. I want to be so sharp. I want to be so iconic. Paul Heyman is my favorite manager of all time. I’m always studying him and watching him. And yeah, I’m going to go on this journey. So I’m going to start going to wrestling events, and I’m going to start searching for the next super athlete.”
“My goal is not to start wrestling, but if someone has an issue with me and I need to resolve some conflict in the ring, you better believe I’m going to be ready."
Perry is married to WWE star Rusev and when her husband returned to the company in 2025, Perry signed a WWE Legends deal but was not brought back on TV alongside him.
