CJ Perry (Lana) was known for her blonde locks in WWE and the company wanted to make sure it remained that way.
Lana tried to change her hair one time, going with a blue tint briefly in 2018. Unfortunately for her, the new color did not go over well with the office.
"I wore blue hair one time," Lana recalled during a virtual signing with East Coast Autograph Auctions. "I showed up with blue...I colored my hair blue, with was like a shampoo. I was bored, probably going through an identity crisis again [laughs]. So, I did my hair blue and Michael Hayes walks up to me and is like, 'What are you doing?' 'I don't know, it matches my costume.' He's like, 'No, no, no. no.' I showed up with blonde hair the next day and he's like, 'Ah, you look great.' So, there you go. I also got a call from Vince McMahon about the blue hair. I'll have to be blonde forever."
Lana continued, recalled another time she got in trouble for her hair.
"I had like light brown hair, what I did for Royal Rumble last year. I got a call, I was told, 'That wasn't Lana' and I had to put my hair in a pony(tail), I had to go lighter, and I couldn't wear the color gold. I had to wear the color pink only. I had little boy cut shorts and they were like, 'No, no, no, you have to wear the little tights,'" she said.
Lana was released by WWE on June 2.
It is unknown if she will continue in the wrestling world, but if she does, expect her to continue to use the name Lana. You can learn more by clicking here.
