Former WWE star Lana, also known as CJ Perry, recently made a shocking revelation during an appearance on TMZ Sports’ Inside The Ring. The former WWE manager shared a surprising story from her past, recounting an incident on her 25th birthday that landed her in jail.
Lana revealed that on her birthday, she was driving from Atlanta, Georgia, to Florida State University to re-audition for her final semester. However, she was speeding at 91 mph in a 75 mph zone, with expired tags and a broken light. To top it off, she was also smoking weed, which was illegal in the state of Georgia. When she was pulled over, the police officers detected the smell of weed in her car, leading to her arrest.
The former WWE star spent three days in jail, reflecting on the experience and the conditions of the inmates around her. She expressed gratitude for the lesson she learned during that time, realizing how fortunate she had been compared to others in the jail who had been there for over a year with limited outdoor time.
Despite her past troubles, Lana has continued to pursue her ambitions in the world of professional wrestling. In an interview with Ring The Belle, she shared her goal of becoming a general manager in the industry. While she has mostly been seen as an on-screen manager for wrestlers in WWE and AEW, Lana’s aspirations extend beyond just being a ringside figure.
Female authority figures have been a significant part of WWE’s history, with names like Vickie Guerrero, Stephanie McMahon, and AJ Lee playing prominent roles as general managers. Lana’s determination to achieve this goal showcases her drive and passion for the business.
As Lana continues to navigate her career in wrestling, her journey is filled with ups and downs, but her resilience and determination shine through. With a Legends contract with WWE and a new chapter in AEW, Lana’s story is far from over, and fans are eager to see where her path will lead next.
