CJ Perry, widely known as Lana, has provided an update regarding her potential return to WWE television, nearly four years after her last in-ring appearance. Lana’s final match took place on the May 31, 2021 episode of Raw, where she partnered with Naomi in a tag team bout against Dana Brooke and Mandy Rose, before departing WWE the following month. Recently signing a contract with WWE Legends in April, Lana has discussed the possibility of making an in-ring comeback. She’s expressed a willingness to return to WWE TV, open to both wrestling and non-wrestling roles.
Lana mentioned that she continuously trains, staying ready for a return at any time, but feels her greatest value to WWE lies in her mic skills. She acknowledged the high caliber of the current women’s division, praising their athleticism and stating her desire to be an advocate for female wrestlers. Additionally, Lana’s husband, Rusev, remains part of the Raw roster, though his last SmackDown appearance was in November, where he lost to Jey Uso in the John Cena Last Time Is Now Tournament quarterfinals.
Fan Take: Lana’s openness to returning both inside and outside the ring could bring a dynamic mix of experience and charisma back to WWE, refreshing storylines and elevating the women’s division’s visibility. For fans, her potential comeback signals exciting opportunities for engaging entertainment and bolstering the prominence of female athletes in professional wrestling.
