Below are a couple of top news stories of the day, featuring Lana, Rusev & Rhea Ripley.
• Lana aka CJ Perry made her AEW debut at All Out last year, where she briefly worked alongside her ex-husband Miro aka Rusev, before eventually parting ways with the company earlier this year.
Now, Lana has seemingly hinted at a possible on-screen reunion with Rusev.
Lana and Rusev’s relationship began in WWE NXT, and their 2015 engagement caught attention as it coincided with a storyline involving Dolph Ziggler and Summer Rae, in which their fictional breakup was played out. The couple married in 2016, though their marriage recently ended.
In a new video, Perry dressed as Tiffany, the bride of Chucky, and humorously referenced “bringing her first husband Rusev back to life” while using the Russian accent from her WWE days as Lana.
She even asked fans if they’d want to see Lana and Rusev reunited on television, sparking excitement among fans in the comments who were enthusiastic about the idea.
You can watch it below:
Here’s what she wrote:
“Is this Lana bringing Rusev back to life?? Or is it Tiffany the Bride of Chucky ??? Do you want to see on TV Rusev & Lana or Chucky and his bride Tiffany ???”
In September, it was reported that Miro has requested his release from All Elite Wrestling.
• On this week’s episode of NXT, Rhea Ripley made an appearance to support Zaria and other NXT Superstars. She appeared confident, encouraging the babyface team for their upcoming match and looked at ease returning to her former NXT roots.
Right before the main event, however, cameras caught Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez backstage, walking off with baseball bats. Shortly after, Ripley was shown lying injured next to her car with a cut on her head, bleeding—an unexpected moment that left fans shocked, as they hadn’t seen Ripley in such a state before.
Fightful Select reported there were some internal concerns within NXT regarding the amount of blood shown in Ripley’s parking lot scene. However, the segment was ultimately approved by Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Lee Fitting, or a CW executive.
Liv tweeted the following after this segment:
“Rhea bloody Ripley”.
