If she was not let go by WWE, Lana would have been given a WWE title run as it was apparently in the works. Also, Jon Moxley has shaved his head bald.

Lana Says WWE Title Run Was In The Works

The last fifteen months have been a nerve-racking time for WWE employees. On several occasions, and in large groups, tons of WWE names have been released.

Because of COVID, WWE was not able to travel and sell tickets, so they needed to reorganize the company. Some releases were not surprising and then others like Braun Strowman and Lana left fans stumped.

CJ Perry, who went by Lana in WWE, was on the latest episode of the Talk Is Jericho podcast. She went over a lot, including what seemed like a now nixed tag team title title run with Naomi.

“I had just made gear, beautiful, neon glow in the dark gear,” said Perry. “Over $4,000 it cost by the people that sew for all the top singers, and we had all these new outfits.” 

“We had bought outfits that I wouldn’t even probably wear in real life, but we have glow in the dark. Of course, I’m devastated as we were promised to go into a program with Nattie and Tamina.” 

“Me and Naomi were to go into a program with them. Go after the titles and we were supposed to be, possibly, champions, which all that stuff I take with a grain of salt. I was very lucky that I was booked till the day I got fired.”

Lana And Her Future After WWE

We will never now if WWE was going to move forward and put the tag titles on Naomi and Lana. Naomi survived all the cuts and being married to an Uso does not hurt in these unpredictable times.

Now, Lana has to wait at least 90 days before she can appear for any pro wresting company. AEW is an obvious choice as her husband, Miro, is their current TNT Champion.

Still, there are plenty of opportunities out there besides wrestling. Lana has a portfolio that includes movies, TV, print magazines and much more.

And, do not forgot how WWE likes to quickly change their plans. Samoa Joe was released and then brought right back as part of the NXT brand.

Zelina Vega was fired for other reasons and she just returned to TV on Friday’s SmackDown. Her return led to talks of Aleister Black’s status, so you never know in WWE.

Wrestlers change their appearances all the time, but certain decisions need to be approved. Like in WWE, they want to know if you plan on a getting a noticeable tattoo or change in hairstyle because of merchandise and possible issues with storylines.

We are not sure if AEW has a similar rule or if they let their talent do what feels natural. Apparently, Jon Moxley needed a fresh look.

While at an appearance over the weekend, Moxley quickly took of his cap and he seems bald. Now, Moxley never had long hair, but the look caught plenty of attention.

With the summer heat here, that could have been a reason for shaving his head. Also, Moxley and Renee Paquette had a baby only a few weeks ago.

Maybe, the stress of being a father is getting to Moxley. Or, he simply wanted to change up his look.

Well, we will have to see if the former AEW World Champion changes that look before returning to TV. He was written out a few weeks back to spend time with his then expecting wife.
