While it's clear WWE never had any serious plans for Lana, it still shocked fans when she was released by the company last year. CJ Perry is no longer forced to adhere to a non-compete, and there continues to be a lot of speculation about whether the model and actress intends to focus on those career paths or step back into the wrestling ring for likes of AEW or IMPACT Wrestling.
Right now, a return to the squared circle doesn't appear to be a priority. A couple of month ago, Perry shot a movie role alongside husband Miro, and while we're still not 100% sure what the project is, it appears to be something television or direct-to-DVD/streaming level rather than an upcoming blockbuster; everyone has to start somewhere, though, and her star is on the rise.
Now, Perry has taken centre stage on the cover of Women Fitness magazine, and she looks absolutely stunning. The former WWE Superstar shared a trio of covers and some photos from the shoot on her Instagram page, and you can check those out below (the magazine, meanwhile, can be ordered here). Like Scarlett Bordeuax, Perry is bringing pro wrestling to a whole new audience.
Of course, we still don't know whether she plans to join husband Miro in AEW, but he's been absent for several weeks now. The expectation is he'll return with a refreshed gimmick and Perry could quite easily be part of that given what a dominant force they once were together in WWE.
