Lana has been one of the most attractive elements on WWE television during her tenure, no matter what. Despite her lack of wrestling skills, she worked hard to make a name for herself in the company as an entertainer who came with a whole package. She was let go by WWE due to her expensive contract amid the COVID-19-related budget cuts in June 2021.
Since then, Lana has been treating her fans with some exclusive content via her social media profiles as well as a partnership with Brand Army. Besides, she is also involved in a number of movie or TV projects in recent times. Those who were worried about not seeing her on WWE TV could get a glimpse of this glamorous diva via these.

Recently, it’s been announced that VH1 is bringing back its popular 2000s-era celebrity reality show, The Surreal Life. Professional wrestling fans should be elated with the news that Lana, under her real name of CJ Perry will join the cast of this reboot.
Former nWo member (and basketball player, of course) Dennis Rodman, Stormy Daniels, Frankie Muniz, Manny MUA, Tamar Braxton, Kim Coles, and August Alsina have also been included in the new cast.

Lana provided more updates about her latest reality TV show
According to VH1, The Surreal Life’s newest season will debut on Monday, October 24th at 9 PM ET. The Surreal Life originally aired between 2003 and 2006, running for six seasons. Providing some scoops from the new season, Lana said that she developed a competitive rivalry with Manny, Braxton, and Muniz with their daily activations.
“They were kind of challenging, so we all developed a really competitive bond.” Lana told during an interview with The Man Cave Chronicles with Elias. “there was some drama with Dennis Rodman that you’ll see.”
“Not only (does) every room have cameras, but also the bathroom has sound. So, you’re kind of losing your mind. You’re like ‘can I just have five seconds to myself?’ Besides that, you also have cameras following you around.”

As noted above, Lana was released by WWE on June 2, 2021. She has since been running CJPerry.com alongside other acting-based projects but her love for professional wrestling is still intact. She is no stranger to reality television drama, as she has previously featured on WWE’s Total Divas for three seasons. She has also expressed her desire to go to AEW to continue with her wrestling career in recent times.
