Catherine Joy Perry, known as CJ Perry or formerly Lana, a 40-year-old American free agent professional wrestler, actress, and model who signed with AEW in mid-2025 for sporadic appearances after her WWE exit while focusing on acting gigs like her role in the 2025 indie thriller Midnight Ravine, was born on March 24, 1985, in Gainesville, Florida, to parents who nurtured her artistic side through ballet training from age 5, pursuing modeling in her 20s and earning a marketing degree from the University of Akron before breaking into wrestling as Rusev's Russian heel valet in 2013, transitioning to singles competition with multiple 24/7 Championship reigns, a brief heel turn in 2019, and releasing her debut single "All Day" in 2020, departing WWE in April 2024 after 11 years to explore free agency with indie bouts and screen projects that highlight her poised, dramatic persona blending athleticism with on-screen charisma. She's loyally back with her husband Miroslav Barnyashev, known as Miro or Rusev, a fellow wrestler whom she began dating in 2013, married in a surprise ceremony in Las Vegas in August 2016, briefly separated in 2023 before reconciling in early 2025 through couples therapy and shared faith, with no kids as they cherish their renewed bond and support each other's careers with unwavering commitment. Her known previous relationships are unknown, as she keeps her personal history private. Of white American ethnicity with fair skin that accentuates her ballerina grace, CJ stands at 170 cm or 5 feet 7 inches, boasting body measurements of 36-26-37 inches with full, elegant C-cup breasts that suit her sophisticated gear, a toned heart-shaped butt from dance and yoga, and long, lithe legs that powered her Russian legsweep, with no tattoos to preserve her classic, ethereal aesthetic. She adores classical ballet stretches to maintain flexibility and poise, indulging in spa retreats with aromatherapy for mental reset, scripting dramatic monologues for acting prep, and collecting vintage Hollywood memorabilia for inspiration, while she can't stand superficial drama that lacks depth, rigid schedules that stifle creativity, or underestimating her versatility beyond the ring; her hobbies infuse artistry and adventure with contemporary dance classes for expressive flow, auditioning for period dramas to channel her inner diva, journaling faith-based reflections to ground her journey, and traveling to European film festivals with Miro to scout collaborative projects.
