The former Lana was forced to miss AEW Collision on Saturday night in Garland, Texas as she faced a trip to the emergency room. CJ Perry revealed an infection in her finger had spread through her arm causing her to seek medical help.

Taking to social media, CJ Perry shared a video of herself in the hospital wolfing down some Jell-O while explaining that she was taken there by ambulance and wrote:

I have been in the hospital since Saturday fighting a fatal infection that came from getting a small splinter backstage at work this past Wednesday. Please keep me in your prayers. And everyone really take care of any cuts you get. As small as a splinter can turn into a deadly infection. Love all of you guys and thank you to everyone who has reached out. ❤️❤️❤️

When Did CJ Perry Join AEW?

CJ Perry made her surprise AEW debut at All Out 2023, helping her husband Miro fend off an attack by Powerhouse Hobbs. Since then, Perry and Miro have had an uneasy on-screen relationship with the former TNT Champion not wanting his wife managing other AEW stars.

Perry has allied with Andrade El Idolo and while Miro has assured Perry he will not get in El Idolo’s way during the Continental Classic, he has warned that after the tournament is over, all bets are off.

It remains unknown how long Perry will have to miss AEW TV as a result of the infection.
