In a recent interview with the In The Kliq podcast to promote her appearance on VH1’s The Surreal Life which premieres tonight at 9pm Eastern, former WWE superstar CJ Perry (fka Lana) discussed several topics, including the potential of a WWE return and being open to debuting for All Elite Wrestling.
“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’s 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 the same with AEW, I’m totally open to that too, I love working with my husband and creating and telling stories.
My biggest think is, 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 compelling, so until then, I don’t have to go back until I feel 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.”
