Lana Has Signed A WWE Legends Contract

Lana has reportedly signed a Legends contract with WWE, according to a new report from PWInsider. The outlet noted that during WWE’s presence in Las Vegas, “the word making the rounds” was that Lana, now working under her real name CJ Perry, has officially signed the deal.

Perry was released from WWE in June 2021 and has since been using her real name in her post-WWE endeavors. She later joined AEW, making her debut at AEW All Out in September 2023. However, her time there was short-lived, and she departed the company later that same year.

Lana’s husband, Rusev aka Miro, has signed with WWE and his return is being fast-tracked. Big E confirmed Rusev’s return as well.
