A former WWE star has shared their heartfelt reaction upon receiving a contract offer from a WWE legend earlier this year. It was reported that CJ Perry, previously known as Lana, signed with the WWE legend following the return of Rusev to WWE. In a recent interview on TMZ Inside the Ring, Perry expressed her surprise and emotion about the offer, saying she was so shocked that she cried when her agent from Paradigm called her. She also mentioned how she’s currently enjoying the experience and is optimistic about her future, joking that she’s on her way to the WWE Hall of Fame.
Perry recently debuted her podcast, Identity Crisis, featuring her husband and WWE star Rusev as the first guest.
