Earlier this year Rusev made his return to WWE programming and he returned as a solo act. Throughout his first run with WWE, Rusev was most often seen with CJ Perry (formerly known as Lana) by his side, but she has yet to join him since he made his comeback.
During a recent interview with TMZ, CJ Perry talked about possibly returning to WWE as Lana, and she made it clear that she believes she could still bring something to the table as Rusev’s manager.
“I think when I said I retired, I was being very sarcastic. Well, because they let me go at 36, so I just claimed that apparently I retired at 36. But I think that’s really young. I would love to wrestle again, but I do believe that my money pocket and what I add the most value to wrestling companies is talking and promoting their talent.
“At the end of the day we’re in the business of promotion and if you watch the McMahon documentary, if you watch Logan and Jake Paul talk about boxing and wrestling, we’re in the business of selling tickets and that’s why Logan and Jake are so good at what they do, because they know how to tell stories and they know how to promote and they’re really entertaining at that. I do believe that I do well at those things and Lana knows she can help Rusev.”
