CJ Perry On Differences Between WWE And AEW

Miro’s AEW booking has been a talking point among wrestling fans for months now as the former TNT Champion only wrestled a total of four matches for the company in 2022.

During a recent appearance on The Bailey Show, Miro’s wife CJ Perry (formerly known as Lana) discussed the differences between AEW and WWE, and she made it clear that she prefers WWE’s approach when it comes the wrestling business.

“Tony Khan runs his business however he’d like to run his business, I’m going to leave it at that. There’s a reason why WWE is the greatest wrestling franchise and one of the greatest franchises in the world and it’s because they value sports entertainment, storytelling, and not just fighting for a ‘wrestling title,’ but they value resolving conflict in the ring and that’s what makes wrestling special. You can fight over anything like (Chris) Jericho would fight over a list. Rusev [Miro] fought in my honor so many times. I fought Summer Rae because she took my ex-boyfriend that I hated and I wanted revenge. Those type of things are relatable and are relatable to women. A lot more women watch these stories where it’s a soap opera where we resolve our conflict in the ring.”

“That’s what WWE is great at; storyteling, bringing comedy battles, funny things, serious things. Personally, it’s why I love WWE because it’s not just wrestling, it’s entertainment as well, and I’m here to entertain and put smiles on faces, not just be the ‘best wrestler.’ That’s where I stand on the two different promotions.”
