CJ Perry Says Vince McMahon Wanted Putin at WWE Show, Then Ended Political Promos After 2016

The claims come from Perry's interview and have not been independently verified.

Overview

  • Perry told TMZ Inside The Ring that Vince McMahon hoped Vladimir Putin would attend a WWE event, which never happened.
  • She says McMahon wrote and tightly controlled her promos for the 'Ravishing Russian' Lana character.
  • Perry recounts being used to deliver politically charged lines that mocked the United States, including jabs at President Barack Obama.
  • She recalls McMahon telling her and Miro after Donald Trump won the 2016 election that political material was off-limits because it was too polarizing.
  • Fightful reported her remarks as first-hand recollections and noted the lack of independent corroboration.
