Former WWE and AEW star CJ Perry, known for her time in WWE as Lana, is recovering from successful surgery in New York City. Perry, who has been absent from professional wrestling since her release from AEW in July 2024, shared the news with fans via social media.
In a Twitter video posted just before the procedure, Perry asked for prayers and expressed gratitude to her medical team. “Hey guys, I’m going into surgery right now, please say your prayers for me,” she said, tagging Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and thanking Dr. Chan in the caption.
Hours later, Perry followed up with another post confirming the surgery’s success. She shared a photo from her hospital bed, writing, “Made it out of surgery. Thank you all,” while thanking fans for their support.
This marks the second significant health issue Perry has faced in recent years. In early 2024, she battled a severe MRSA infection that began in her finger and spread to her arm. The life-threatening condition required surgery and intravenous antibiotics after oral treatments proved ineffective.
While Perry has hinted at a potential return to WWE, her focus for now appears to be on recovery. Fans and colleagues alike have expressed their support and well wishes as she recovers from her latest procedure.
