CJ Perry reveals why she was kept off WWE TV for several months

While Lana was managing Rusev on-screen on WWE, the duo got engaged in real life back then. Later, the pictures went viral, despite not sharing them publicly.

Speaking on Talk is Jericho, the 38-year-old star claimed that she had sent the personal photos of her engagement just to close friends and family. She was held accountable for the situation and got suspended as a punishment.

"I didn’t even put up a picture, I just sent it to my friends. And then I guess someone leaked it. I never, ever put it up. TMZ got a hold of it. Basically TMZ said we were engaged and so the story got cut and we got blamed for it. Personally, I got blamed. It’s insane," she said.

As of writing, there has been no schedule for CJ Perry's return to the Jacksonville-based promotion.
