And Out: Another Name Gone From AEW Following Lengthy Absence

She’s done. The rise of AEW has changed the way the wrestling world works, as there is now a second major wrestling promotion on the national stage. By having another such wrestling company around, several more wrestlers are going to have another place to go. That is something incredibly valuable, but now one such wrestler is walking away from AEW as well.

CJ Perry, formerly known as Lana during her time in WWE, has announced that she departed AEW during an interview with USA Today. Perry had served as a manager for Miro, last appearing in December 2023. While she has left AEW, Perry has said that she is able to be booked as a manager elsewhere. According to Fightful Select, AEW had not expected Perry to return as far back as earlier this spring. There is no word on where she will be appearing next.

Perry did some nice things in AEW. Check out what happened during her time in the company:

Opinion: This isn’t exactly the biggest surprise, as Perry has not been around for months and was not exactly a top player in AEW in the first place. Letting her move on and do something else seems like the sensible thing, as if nothing else it closes up the loophole created by her absence. Perry is a talented star and I’m sure she’ll wind up somewhere, which should work out well enough.
