Lana was one of the best parts of WWE television, working hard to make a name for herself in the company. She was let go by WWE due to her expensive contract. Lana recently said that she is open to a WWE return or AEW debut.
Lana recently appeared on “In The Kliq” podcast to promote her involvement in the upcoming VH1 series “The Surreal Life,” which premieres on Monday, October 24th at 9 p.m. She addressed the possibility of making a comeback to WWE. Lana said that she’s open to everything in life.
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.
My biggest thing is like, I don’t want to do anything mediocre. I don’t want to be average. I think that’s what Dennis Rodman (on Surreal Life) was saying to me is like, don’t be good, do something that you’re great at. So if I come back, when I come back to wrestling, I want it to be a great story and be compelling. So until then, I don’t have to go back until I feel like okay, this is going to be great. I look forward to it because there’s nothing like the wrestling fans and having that emotional connection with the crowd and with the fans. I love our fans. There’s nothing like it.
The Ravishing Russian who dropped her accent was ultimately let go by WWE because of her lucrative contract with the company. Since her release, Lana aka CJ Perry has been engaged in a variety of projects and activities that build her brand. She has also been quite active on social media, giving fans a treat all the time.
Lana would also love to do something with Miro In AEW. Miro also recently claimed that Lana is better than 95% of the wrestlers in the AEW locker room. Listen to the entire podcast below.
