Below are some highlights from the interview:
CraveOnline: How was it working with your co-star Adam “Edge” Copeland on set?
C.J. Perry: Edge is awesome. I was able to meet him a couple of times at Raw before. He’s always giving so much knowledge on the business and on life. He has such a great attitude and he’s so talented and to be able to work with someone that is such a talented actor and an icon and a legend here, a lot of WWE Superstars were really jealous that I got to work with him and do a movie with him.
CraveOnline: You wrestled at WrestleMania this year. Are there any plans for you to return to the ring any time soon?
C.J. Perry: I would love to do it but when the time is right. It was always a dream for me to do my debut match at WrestleMania and people would laugh at me. People would laugh at me all the time for my crazy ideas. Reach for the stars and at the very least, you will get the moon and so I would say my first match is going to be at WrestleMania and people would laugh at me and sure enough it happened.
So right now I’ve been filming a lot of things for Total Divas and focusing on my weddings so when all of that passes, I’m sure you will see a lot more of me in the ring.
CraveOnline: Did you ever expect to meet your husband when you got signed with WWE?
C.J. Perry: I definitely did not see me meeting my husband. I was never a relationship girl; let’s just say that [laughs]. I maybe had a boyfriend for like six months and it would be too much. I was like ‘I have to focus on my career.’ It always seemed like a big distraction that was unnecessary. I was also never a person who would date just to date.
[Alexander] Rusev is one of a kind. Instantly, within the first two months of knowing him, he stood out to me as being very, very different. I didn’t expect meeting my husband. I never really liked to date within the same business I was in because if it didn’t work out, you’d have to see that person all the time. But things happen and we’re best friends.
