Lana began in WWE as a manager and started wrestling in the latter half of her run. However, she is no longer involved in the Stamford-based promotion and is focused on other paths. One of them is exploring her time on the stage doing stand-up comedy.
Lana, aka CJ Perry, will be performing stand-up for the first time on Thursday, March 26, at The Comedy Chateau in North Hollywood, CA, with an open mic lineup at 7 PM. The show is free, but fans need to RSVP where CJ will be trying out her comic material.
“Tomorrow will be my first ever Stand up Comedy show in LA !!!! Please rsvp and come out and have fun with me.” wrote CJ Perry
Perry is currently under a WWE Legends contract, though. Her husband, Rusev, is still in the company wrestling on RAW. However, CJ has confirmed to have retired from wrestling since 2021. It will be exciting to see how Perry’s future in stand-up comedy shapes up after her first show in LA.
We at Sportskeeda congratulate CJ Perry and wish her the best for her first stand-up show.
WWE star Sami Zayn also performed a comedy show
Sami Zayn hosted a comedy show in 2024. However, it wasn’t a typical stand-up comedy event but was an extensive one with cameos. It was billed as a comedy and variety show with his monologues and chats with guests. The show, Sami Zayn & Friends, debuted at the Netflix Is a Joke festival in 2025.
Zayn then picked it up from there and did two more shows of it on his own. First around the Money in the Bank 2024 weekend in Toronto and then at the SummerSlam 2024 weekend in Cleveland.
