Report: Miro & CJ Perry Split, AEW Stars’ Marriage Reportedly Ended Late 2023

AEW’s Miro and CJ Perry are reportedly splitting up after over seven years of marriage. 

According to TMZ, the two “broke up once and for all” last winter, despite Miro’s social media posts about visiting Perry in the hospital as she suffered a severe infection that required multiple surgeries and almost cost Perry her arm. TMZ said their relationship was “on-again, off-again” for years, and they simply drifted apart.

TMZ reached out to representatives for Perry, who confirmed the split to the outlet. The former WWE star also provided a brief statement on the matter.

“Miro and I have made the difficult decision to separate after many wonderful years together, and have decided to move on as friends, and hopefully onscreen characters somewhere down the road,” Perry told TMZ.

The couple has yet to officially file for divorce. In the aftermath of their breakup, however, Miro has reportedly moved back to Bulgaria. The AEW star has been absent from the promotion since AEW Worlds End, when Miro defeated Andrade El Idolo and Perry aligned with her husband onscreen. With his extended absence, Miro’s future in AEW is unclear.

There is some hope for closure, as Perry expressed her desire to work together again as friends. However, it’s safe to say that future is very uncertain.

AEW’s CJ Perry Headed Back To Hospital, May Need Another Surgery

Things haven’t come easy for CJ Perry over the past month. The AEW star missed a good chunk of December after she was hospitalized with an infection in her finger that could’ve proven serious. And despite what appeared to be a successful surgery to remove the infection, Perry may not quite be out of the woods just yet.

Taking to Instagram on Wednesday morning, Perry revealed that she was on her way back to the hospital due to what she described as “complications.” Perry also admitted that the complications could involve the infection coming back, which would then require her to have a second surgery. As such, Perry could wind up missing more time from AEW, including this week’s episodes of “Dynamite,” “Rampage,” and “Collision.”

Perry joined AEW back in September, when she made an appearance at AEW All Out, saving her husband Miro from a post-match attack on Powerhouse Hobbs. Despite this, Miro rejected Perry, prompting the former WWE star to seek out other clients. Perry would represent Action Andretti and most notably Andrade El Idolo, who she managed during his run in the AEW Continental Classic tournament until she was forced out due to her surgery.

Perry’s association with Andrade drew the ire of Miro, leading to the two facing off at AEW Worlds End, with a returning Perry ultimately turning against Andrade to help Miro win, though Miro still appeared to be wary of Perry afterward. The match proved to be Andrade’s swan song in AEW, as he announced he had left the promotion just a few days later, with reports suggesting a return to WWE would soon be in his future.

UPDATE

CJ Perry Says MRSA Is Being Drained From Finger Every Day.

The AEW star took to Instagram, where she wrote the following:

Karma is purring in my lap …. But worth it to make sure @andradealmas was sent off properly at #AEWWorldsEnd @aew. Second surgery next week. Draining MRSA daily.

Flesh and scabs cut out of my finger again today. Antibiotics again. Possible full-blown second surgery next week but I would risk it all again for my ex-clients, future clients, and current clients.

In a new update on social media, Perry revealed that the infection on her finger has worsened, and will now require surgery. She requested everyone to keep her in their thoughts.

“I have been in the ER and hospital for over 50 hours. The infection has gotten worse and I’m going into surgery tonight. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers. I love you all,” said Perry.

She had disclosed a few days ago that her middle finger had swollen following an infection, which also spread to her arm. Perry stated in her recent update that she has been in the emergency room for over 50 hours. 

The former WWE star was advertised to be in the corner of her new client, Andrade el Idolo for his first appearance in CMLL since 2015, but the injury kept her away from traveling to Mexico. She also missed the following night’s “AEW Collision” show where Andrade faced another former WWE star, Claudio Castagnoli, in the Continental Classic tournament. The Mexican star lost the match, which was his first defeat in the tournament, but still sits joint-top of the Blue league alongside Bryan Danielson.

Perry, who joined AEW in September, became Andrade’s manager in November and has accompanied the former “NXT” Champion to the ring ever since, despite her real-life husband, Miro, also being a part of the promotion. Miro and Andrade haven’t clashed since joining AEW, but a potential feud looms as the former declared on AEW television that he would target Andrade after the conclusion of the Continental Classic tournament.

CJ Perry Not Under Long-Term AEW Deal Despite All Out Appearance

CJ Perry made a surprise appearance at All Out this weekend, turning up after Miro’s match against Powerhouse Hobbs to help her husband during a post-match attack. She gained a huge ovation from the Chicago crowd which led to question marks about her future with the company, which Tony Khan addressed during the post-show media scrum.

“I think it’s great to have CJ here,” Khan said. “It’s not a long-term guaranteed thing or anything, but at least for tonight it was nice to have her appearing with us and I thought it was a great surprise. It was a great show. Miro and Hobbs was a match that I really believed would be great for All Out.” 

Perry hasn’t been seen in a wrestling ring since her time with WWE came to an end back in 2021, but despite the success of her CJPerry.com website, Perry has always made it clear that she was open to a return to wrestling. While Perry’s appearance proved to be beneficial for Miro as she distracted Hobbs long enough for “The Redeemer” to nail his rival with a chair, that doesn’t mean he was happy to see her. Miro walked away from Perry, leaving her inside the ring as he could be heard screaming, “You’re not real.” Perry then reacted to the situation on social media, claiming she’s not the type of woman you renounce.

Even though Perry is currently not on a long-term contract, that doesn’t mean that things can’t change. It now remains to be seen whether or not Perry will appear again on AEW television to continue the storyline.

CJ Perry Starring In “The Surreal Life” Reboot

VH1’s “The Surreal Life” returned to television for the first time in over six years last night on VH1, and among the cast members is former WWE star Lana (CJ Perry).

The reality competition series’ cast also includes another person that’s dabbled in pro wrestling — NBA legend Dennis Rodman, who competed in WCW for a brief period of time. Stormy Daniels, August Alsina, Tamar Braxton, Kim Coles, Manny MUA, and Frankie Muniz are also part of the cast of the reboot of this reality series on VH1.

The Surreal Life films groups of celebrities living in Glen Campbell’s former mansion in the Hollywood Hills for two weeks as they participate in group activities and develop relationships. The first two seasons were picked up by The WB before the show transitioned over to VH1, where it has been since 2004. As time has passed, more and more spinoffs from the show have occurred, including “Strange Love with Flavor Flav and Brigitte Nielsen,” “My Fair Brady with Adrianne Curry and Christopher Knight,” and “For the Love of Ray J.”

Perry, like her real-life husband, AEW’s Miro, was released from WWE in June 2021. She has yet to return to the realm of pro wrestling, but Perry was set to appear at the WES show that was canceled earlier this year. Perry was booked to face former “Raw” Women’s Champion Lina Fanene (Nia Jax) in Nottingham, England, back in June, but the event was rescheduled and then canceled due to reportedly poor ticket sales. It’s unclear if Perry will ever climb back inside the squared circle, but she has expressed interest in doing so as recently as this past summer.

Two Released WWE Stars Returning To Ring After Hiatus

Lina Fanene (Nia Jax) and CJ Perry (Lana) are set to return to the squared circle for the first time since their WWE releases last year.

The two women will renew their WWE rivalry in a match to crown the first-ever Women’s World Champion of Wrestling Entertainment Series (WES). WES is a new wrestling promotion created by Legion of Pain, FKA The Authors of Pain.

While Nia Jax wrestled her last match on the September 20, 2021 episode of RAW, Lana was last seen in action on the May 31, 2021 episode of RAW.

Other matches announced for the event include Adam ‘The Titan’ Scherr (Braun Strowman) vs. Alistair Overeem to crown the inaugural WES World Champion, Legion of Pain (Authors of Pain) vs. Westin Blake & Steve Maclin, and Killer Kross (Karrion Kross) vs. Samuray Del Sol (Kalisto) vs. JONAH (Bronson Reed).

The other top women’s match will see Deonna Purrazzo & Chelsea Green team up against Madison Rayne & Tenille Dashwood to crown the inaugural WES Women’s Tag Team Champions.

Dean Muhtadi (Mojo Rawley), Lince Dorado and Dirty Dango (Fandango) will also be wrestling at the event.

WES’ debut show will take place June 4th at the Motorpoint Arena in Nottingham, England. The pay-per-view event will be available to stream on FITE.

Lana issues statement on injury 

  It is being reported that WWE diva Lana sustained a wrist injury while training for her first in ring match. Word going around is that there was suppose to be a mixed tag match at Night of Champions pinning Lana and Ziggler to go up against the team of Rusev and Summer Rae. Now due to Lana’s injury that won’t be the case.

Lana took to Twitter and Instagram to address her injury. She had this to say: “I have dedicated my entire life to becoming the best sports entertainer I could be. Ever since I have debuted in @wwe I have continued to go to @wwenxt & come hours early before live events to train & learn how to fight. I wanted my first match to make the #WWE Universe proud. My wrist fracture is proof that WWE & professional wrestling is not fake but very real. This is a bump in the road & can be discouraging but for every person that has believed in me and has ever chanted #WeWantLana I will keep going. From here forward I will share every part of my journey to my first match. Thank you to every fan that has cheered for me & chanted my name, you all give me the strength to be brave. I will continue to give everything I have to becoming one of the greatest women in WWE & entertainment.”

Lana is expected to be out from anywhere between 4-6 months. We here at Wrestling news blog. Would like to send Lana positive vibes and hopes for a speedy recovery
