CJ Perry: When The Time Is Right, I Will Appear. Hopefully Sooner Than Later
Rusev has been back in WWE for a year, but fans have not seen Lana (CJ Perry) by his side. Perry was with Rusev in AEW, but they hadn’t appeared since the end of 2023.
Speaking to Ariel Helwani, Perry was asked when she might return to 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,” she said.
Asked if she wanted to return to work with her husband, she replied, “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.”
Rusev is set to compete for the WWE Intercontinental Championship in a ladder match at WrestleMania 42.
