CJ Perry Reveals Rusev’s Obsession With Another Female WWE Star
CJ Perry and Rusev have been married since 2016.
It is safe to assume they know each other’s intimate secrets, one of which Perry recently brought to light on a podcast.
Perry, along with Branson Quirke, hosted an episode of TMZ’s Inside The Ring, which had former WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Raquel Rodriguez as the guest.
At one point, the conversation drifted to Bayley, who’s been going through a rough period with booking.
The Role Model recently competed in a 3-way match against Asuka and Nattie, with the winner securing a place in the Women’s Elimination Chamber match on February 28.
The match ended with Bayley tapping out to Asuka’s submission, conceding her potential spot in the chamber to The Empress of Tomorrow.
Discussing how she occasionally falls short during big matches, Quirke expressed concern over her future bookings, while also claiming that Miro (Rusev) loved Asuka. CJ Perry then revealed that her husband was obsessed with the Japanese wrestler.
He’s obsessed with Asuka. He thinks Asuka’s better than him, which is…says a lot. Yeah, it’s insane. [28:56 onwards]
Rusev Wants To Enter Politics In Bulgaria
After missing weeks of TV time, Rusev competed in the 2026 men’s Royal Rumble match, only to be eliminated within 32 seconds by Oba Femi.
On the February 16 episode of Monday Night Raw, the Bulgarian Brute was featured in a non-wrestling segment, where he stood inside general manager Adam Pearce’s office eyeballing Femi, who received an offer to officially join the red brand.
During a recent sit-down with Chris Van Vliet on his Insight podcast, Rusev was asked about his life after wrestling. To this, the 40-year-old wrestler revealed that he had political ambitions.
Oh yeah. Well I have thought about it of course and I wanted to be a mayor of my hometown in Bulgaria.
I just missed sign up because I do wanted to go back to school but I missed the enrollment date. So next year I’m definitely signing up. I’m going to school for public administration and Bulgarian school because I want to learn their system.
