The former Lana sees her strongest role as a manager and on-screen personality.
Summary
– CJ Perry would consider a WWE return if the story and role were the right fit
– She wants to contribute as a manager or character rather than chase championships
– Perry remains ready for an opportunity but has not announced a comeback
CJ Perry is open to returning to WWE, but she has a clear idea of where she could make the biggest contribution. The former Lana wants a role built around character work and storytelling rather than another run at a championship.
Perry explained that a comeback would need the right creative direction. She believes WWE already has a deep women’s roster and sees more value in using her microphone skills to support other performers and advance their stories.
Managing remains central to that vision. Perry established herself alongside Rusev and believes her experience as an on-screen personality could still serve the company.
She also pointed to Paul Heyman’s long career as evidence that a compelling character can remain valuable without competing in matches. Perry hopes age would not prevent her from finding a similar opportunity to contribute.
At the same time, she acknowledged that performers do not see every factor behind WWE’s decisions. Business considerations and plans outside their knowledge can affect whether a proposed story moves forward.
Perry said she continues taking acting classes and would be prepared if WWE called. Her comments express interest in returning, rather than confirmation that a television appearance has been arranged.
