CJ Perry compares and contrasts WWE and AEW.
When CJ Perry (Lana in WWE) was released by WWE in June 2021, many fans wondered if she would join her husband Miro in AEW. While Miro would reference his wife in promos and Perry would comment on Miro's storylines, she has yet to join the promotion and it is unknown if she will.
Appearing on The Bailey Show, Perry was asked if she has gotten an offer from AEW.
"Tony Khan runs his business however he'd like to run his business, I'm going to leave it at that. There's a reason why WWE is the greatest wrestling franchise and one of the greatest franchises in the world and it's because they value sports entertainment, storytelling, and not just fighting for a 'wrestling title,' but they value resolving conflict in the ring and that's what makes wrestling special. You can fight over anything like (Chris) Jericho would fight over a list. Rusev [Miro] fought in my honor so many times. I fought Summer Rae because she took my ex-boyfriend that I hated and I wanted revenge. Those type of things are relatable and are relatable to women. A lot more women watch these stories where it's a soap opera where we resolve our conflict in the ring. That's what WWE is great at; storyteling, bringing comedy battles, funny things, serious things. Personally, it's why I love WWE because it's not just wrestling, it's entertainment as well, and I'm here to entertain and put smiles on faces, not just be the 'best wrestler.' That's where I stand on the two different promotions," she stated.
During Perry's time in WWE, she was "married" to Bobby Lashley, involved in dance battle with Naomi, and transitioned from a manager to a wrestler.
Elsewhere during the interview, Perry stated she would shut down her website CJPerry.com if it meant returning to WWE. You can find her full comments by clicking here.
