Catherine Joy Perry (born March 24, 1985) is an American professional wrestler, actress, dancer, model, professional wrestling manager and singer. She is currently employed by the professional wrestling promotion WWE, where she performs on the SmackDown brand under the ring name Lana.

Early life

The eldest of four siblings, Perry was born in Gainesville, Florida[7] to parents of Portuguese and Venezuelan descent.[8] She spent several years of her childhood in the Latvian SSR, where her father worked as a Christian missionary.[7][8] Perry and her family remained in Latvia after it restored its independence from the Soviet Union in August 21, 1991. From an early age, Perry aspired to become a ballet dancer like her mother. She attended the Riga Choreography School (the ballet school of the Latvian National Opera) and began dancing with the Latvian National Ballet at the age of 14.[1][7]

At the age of 17, Perry returned to the United States. She initially lived in New York City, where she danced at the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Ballet Hispanico, Broadway Dance Center, and the Martha Graham Center of Contemporary Dance. Perry later enrolled in Florida State University (FSU) in Tallahassee, Florida, majoring in dance and acting.[2][7]

While attending FSU, Perry began attending Florida State Seminoles football games with Jenn Sterger and several other students, cheering from the bleachers while dressed as "cowgirls". The students, known as the Florida State Cowgirls, entered the public consciousness after being acknowledged by commentator Brent Musburger during a game between the Florida State Seminoles and the Miami Hurricanes that aired on ABC in September 2005, with Musburger quipping "1,500 red-blooded Americans just decided to apply to Florida State".[9][10][11]

Perry parlayed the exposure into a modelling career, appearing in photoshoots in publications such as the RIDGID Tool Calendar and working as a spokesmodel for the energy drinks Matrix and Red Bull.[7] Upon graduating from FSU, she relocated to Los Angeles, California with the aim of working in show business.[7]

Music and acting career

In 2009, Perry joined No Means Yes, a girl group signed to Ne-Yo's record label comprising Perry (billed as "C.J."), Kat, Shea, and Tanu. The group released one single, "Would You Like That", and recorded two others ("7 Years Bad Luck" and "Burn Rubber") before disbanding in 2010.[7][8] Perry later stated:

A girlfriend of mine in college referred me to the man that was putting the group together. I honestly was so scared to sing and I didn't even know a song to sing at the audition so I sang "Jesus Loves Me". I remember them saying "we can work with her tone because she has the right look and she is a model that break dances". I am so thankful to this day for that experience because I do not think I would have ever gotten the role in Pitch Perfect if I hadn't overcome my fear to open my mouth and sing.[7]

Perry went on to work as a backup dancer for performers such as Keri Hilson, Nelly, Pink, Usher, Akon, and Rich Boy.[2][7][12] In 2013, she starred alongside Kelley Jakle in the music video for Jakle's cover of the Paramore song "Ain't it Fun". She trained as an actress at The Groundlings School and under the acting coaches Lesly Kahn and Larry Moss.[7] She went on to appear in acting roles such as an episode of The Game in 2011, the lead role in I.C.I.R.U.S. in 2011, the musical comedy film Pitch Perfect in 2012 and the 2015 sequel Pitch Perfect 2, and an episode of Banshee in 2013.[13] In March 2015, it was announced that she would be starring in the WWE Studios production Interrogation, alongside WWE Hall of Famer Adam "Edge" Copeland.[14]

Professional wrestling career

WWE

Managing Rusev (2013–2017)

In June 2013, Perry revealed that she had been signed to WWE and was sent to their developmental branch NXT.[15] She debuted on the October 23, 2013 episode of NXT, under the ring name Lana, scouting Alexander Rusev.[6] On the November 6 episode of NXT, Lana became Rusev's "social ambassador", using a Russian accent and developing a character who majored in Foreign Affairs and Business and Social Media Marketing in college.[16]

Lana made her main roster debut on the January 31 episode of SmackDown, where she and Rusev in the following weeks appeared in a series of self-promotional videos and speeches.[17][18][19] In early May, Lana began dedicating Rusev's matches to her "hero", President of Russia Vladimir Putin, as well as adopting an anti-American, Russophilic gimmick.[20][21]

Lana made some controversial comments during an in-ring promo prior to Rusev's match at Battleground, blaming the United States for current world events and praising Putin. Although she did not directly mention it, some media outlets said Lana was making reference to the crash of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, which happened three days before Battleground, to help build heat for Rusev in his feud against Jack Swagger.[22][23] A representative of WWE later told TMZ that the segment was not specifically about the Malaysia Airlines crash, noting that the Rusev-Lana storyline "has been a part of WWE programming for more than three months. WWE apologizes to anyone who misunderstood last night's segment and was offended".[24]

Following the November 3 episode of Raw, Rusev defeated Sheamus on WWE Network to capture the United States Championship.[25] At WrestleMania 31, Rusev lost the title to Cena after Rusev accidentally crashed into Lana, knocking her off the ring apron.[26]

On May 17, at Payback, Cena defeated Rusev in an "I Quit" match after Lana quit on Rusev's behalf.[27] The following night on Raw, Lana justified her actions by explaining that Rusev said he quit in Bulgarian, only for him to harshly dismiss her; later that night, Lana kissed Dolph Ziggler, turning her face and officially ending their association.[28] After Ziggler being injured by Rusev,[29] he went to return on the August 17 episode of Raw, aiding Lana during a confrontation with Rusev and Summer Rae.[30] Rae went on to "seduce" Ziggler in order to end his relationship with Lana,[31][32] but the storyline ended quietly, after WWE announced that Lana had injured her wrist while training.[33] On October 11, TMZ reported that Lana had gotten engaged to Rusev,[34] which Lana confirmed.[35] Lana made her return, once again as a villainess, on the November 30 episode of Raw, where she and Rusev referenced their engagement.

After a two months hiatus, Lana returned on the February 29 episode of Raw, confronting Brie Bella during a backstage segment, arguing that Brie's fans only supported her out of pity for having a "bad husband",[36] On the March 14 episode of Raw, she distracted Brie during a tag team match against Team B.A.D. (Naomi and Tamina), causing her to lose, and aligned herself with Team BAD, following a backstage confrontation with Paige.[37] On the March 22 episode of Main Event, she brought the returning Emma and Summer Rae to her guild.[38] As a result, Lana faced off Brie in a tag team match at the WrestleMania 32 pre-show, in what would be Lana's in-ring debut, which her team (dubbed Team B.A.D. & Blonde) lost.[39][40]

On the April 25 episode of Raw, Lana returned to managing Rusev,[41] After being drafted to Raw as part of the 2016 WWE draft which took place on July 19,[42][43] Lana made her first appearance for the brand on August 1, where she accompanied Rusev.[44] On August 8, Rusev's and Lana's wedding celebration was usurped by Roman Reigns,[45] and one week later on the August 17 episode of Raw, Rusev competed in a match for Lana's honor against Reigns, but lost.[46] In early 2017, Rusev suffered a legitimate shoulder injury, taking them off television.

Singles competition (2017–present)

On the April 11 episode of SmackDown, Lana was solely drafted to the SmackDown brand as part of the Superstar Shake-up.[47] As vignettes hyping her televised return aired, Lana resumed in-ring competition under her new gimmick at NXT live events that same month.[48][49][50] Lana made her return on the June 6 episode of SmackDown, unsuccessfully vying to compete in the impending women's Money in the Bank ladder match, while also igniting a feud with SmackDown Women's Champion Naomi.[51][52] On June 18, Lana was defeated by Naomi in her first televised singles match at Money in the Bank.[53] She went on to compete against Naomi two more times on the June 27 and July 4 episodes of SmackDown Live, where she was defeated both times.[54][55] On July 23 at Battleground, Lana competed in a five-way elimination match to determine the number one contender for the SmackDown Women's Championship, where she was eliminated by Becky Lynch.[56] At the Royal Rumble 2018 Event, Lana entered in the first ever women's Royal Rumble match at Number 13, however, she was eliminated by Michelle McCool. In the first round of the WWE Mixed Match Challenge, Lana and Rusev defeated Elias and Bayley, marking Lana's first official win in WWE after pinning Bayley.


Other media

Lana has appeared in three WWE video games. She made her in-game debut at WWE 2K15 as an NPC, appearing during Rusev's entrance and winning celebration. She later made her managing debut in WWE 2K16 and later appearing in its follow ups, WWE 2K17 and WWE 2K18.

In 2016, it was announced that Lana would be featured as a main cast member for the sixth season of Total Divas.[57]
