It’s been a long time since we have seen the ever-popular Lana aka CJ Perry in a wrestling ring and All Out 2023 turned out to be the place of her return. Much to the delight of professional wrestling fans, the former WWE Diva made her All Elite Wrestling debut as the “hot and flexible” wife of Miro fka Rusev in WWE.
As seen at All Out 2023, Miro went up against Powerhouse Hobbs in a singles contest and eventually picked up the win. After the match was over, Hobbs showed respect to Miro as both the men shook their hands. But Hobbs ended up attacking Miro from behind. This led to CJ, Miro’s real-life wife coming out on the ramp as she made her All Elite Wrestling debut.

All Out 2023: Miro defeats Hobbs via distraction from Lana
Miro had previously referenced that he’s having a hot and flexible wife at home which led to CJ using this gimmick on TV at All Out 2023. Upon appearing the former Lana hit Hobbs with a Steel Chair, but it had no effect on the behemoth. Hobbs left the hold on Miro and turned his attention towards Lana. Miro then took advantage of the distraction to take out Hobbs with the chair in hand with two back-to-back shots.
Miro and Perry then had a staredown as Miro wasn’t seemingly happy with his wife coming out like this to help him out. He walked off the ring uttering “You’re not real” thereby leaving CJ, alone. Interestingly, CJ was never referred to by name but instead, the AEW Commentators referred her to be ‘Mrs. Miro’.

After the segment at All Out 2023, AEW’s Lexy Nair caught up with CJ at backstage and tried to pick her mind after the strange happening with her husband back in the ring. CJ was distracted by what went down and she never really answered what was going on between the two. Perhaps, this was just the beginning of a future angle for CJ on AEW TV.
As previously noted, CJ is best known to the pro-wrestling universe for her time as Lana in WWE. She was released from the promotion in 2021. Since that release, she never got to be a part of any other wrestling promotion despite having a big will. Now, All Elite Wrestling might continue to use her in a non-wrestling role if All Out 2023 was any indication.
