Lana Hinting at Possible WWE Return

During a recent interview with Ariel Helwani on April 15, 2026, Perry kept the door wide open for a comeback, stating that her return would ideally happen "sooner rather than later." While she noted that her on-screen character, Lana, is currently "exiled in Siberia," she emphasized that she is waiting for the perfect creative moment to reappear and reunite with her husband, Rusev.

Rusev has been back with WWE since 2025 and is currently preparing for a major multi-man ladder match for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 42. Perry’s absence from his side has been a frequent point of discussion among fans, especially given their long history as one of the most successful manager-wrestler pairings in the company’s history. In the interview, Perry expressed her deep love for collaborating with her husband, calling him one of the most creative and iconic minds in the business.

Beyond the rumors of a WWE return, Perry has remained busy in 2026 by diversifying her career. She recently launched a column for Uncrowned and has even ventured into the world of stand-up comedy, with her first live show held in Los Angeles this past March. Despite these new journeys, she made it clear that her passion for storytelling in the wrestling industry hasn't faded.

While she has spent time on the independent circuit as a manager earlier this year, the lure of the "grandest stage of them all" seems stronger than ever. With WrestleMania 42 right around the corner and her husband positioned for a career-defining moment, fans are watching closely to see if the "Ravishing Russian" will make her presence felt in Paradise, Nevada. Whether it happens this weekend or in the months to follow, Perry’s latest teasers suggest that her story in WWE is far from finished.
