Having been one of the many names released by WWE this year, CJ Perry's first post-WWE appearance has now been announced.

The former Lana will be appearing at the 2 October 2021 Legends of the Ring convention in Iselin, New Jersey.

From taking a quick look at this event, it looks like Perry is joining a pretty stacked line-up, with Donna Purrazzo, Brian Cage, Moose, Tyler Breeze, Fandango, Matt Hardy, Kelly Kelly, Layla, Rachael Ellering, Tanille Dashwood, Aubrey Edwards, Marina Shafir, Velvet Sky, Angelina Love, the Varsity Blondes and Julia Hart, Davey Richards, Tony Nese, Sabu, W. Morrissey, nZo, and former UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion Miesha Tate amongst the names already confirmed for this 2 October show.

For Lana, her time with WWE came to an end this past June, with her one of several names released by WWE as part of another round of budget cuts. The Ravishing Russian had been with the company since 2013. Since her release, CJ Perry's largely been out of the public spotlight - bar some references from Miro on AEW television, of course.
