Tony Khan comments on the length of CJ Perry's AEW deal
CJ Perry and Miro are a real-life couple, and their on-screen pairing in WWE was highly popular among fans. Hence, many want the duo to join forces again after Perry's debut. But has the former Lana signed a lengthy deal with the Tony Khan-led company?
During his appearance on the All Out post-show media scrum, Tony Khan seemed excited about CJ Perry's debut and explained that her deal wasn't long-term.
“Well, CJ, I’ll start with that. I think it’s great to have CJ here. It’s not a long-term guaranteed thing or anything. But I think, at least for tonight, it was great to have her appearing with us. I think it was a great surprise, a great show.”
It remains to be seen if she will extend her deal to align with Miro on television. The two are seemingly building up toward an angle where their relationship will be put to the test.
