CJ Perry fka Lana wouldn't have been a signing made for the AEW Women's division, but more for Miro and to add to his character. That doesn't mean she can't wrestle in the company, or she shouldn't - just that a manager role might be better for her to start with.

She has proven for years in WWE that she is passionate about wrestling, never hiding her weaknesses and never pretending to be better than what she was. Unfortunately, WWE didn't utilize her as they should have.

Things started well for Lana and Rusev, but it quickly went downhill after 2015. The latter seems to have found a renewed vigor in his wrestling career with AEW, and it had the opposite start to his WWE run.

In the case of All Elite Wrestling, Miro's "best man" role seemed underwhelming, but he is now being used as he should have all along. When listening to him out of character, it's clear that he is enjoying his career more with the company.

Lana would be a good fit alongside the TNT Champion, helping to enhance his character.
