Folks, love is like a wrestling storyline—full of shocking turns, dramatic betrayals, and the occasional contract dispute. Case in point: former AEW and WWE stars Miro and CJ Perry (a.k.a. Rusev and Lana) have once again proven that no feud lasts forever, as they’ve officially renewed their wedding vows after splitting up in 2023.
That’s right! After a 2023 separation, where it looked like Miro might be crushed both emotionally and professionally, the powerhouse couple found their way back to each other. According to TMZ (the dirt sheet of real life), the rekindling began in June 2024 when Miro returned from an extended stay in Bulgaria. Turns out, absence really does make the heart grow fonder—or at least makes a guy realize he misses his wife’s managerial skills.
From Breakup to Bulgaria to Back Together
The report states that Perry spent Christmas in Bulgaria with her husband (a true Hallmark movie moment, minus the steel chairs), and the couple later renewed their vows in a small church in Los Angeles. The kicker? They never actually filed for divorce. That’s right—just like an unsanctioned match, this breakup had no legal weight!
Now, the reunited lovebirds are living together once again, bouncing between Los Angeles and Bulgaria—which, honestly, sounds like a solid setup. One week, they’re enjoying the beaches of California; the next, they’re eating banitsa in Sofia. Elite-tier relationship goals.
Meanwhile, In the Ring…
- Miro’s last AEW appearance? A win over Andrade El Idolo at Worlds End 2023.
- Perry’s last appearance? Managing Andrade at the same event—before betraying him to help Miro win. (That’s right, her last AEW act was kayfabe getting back with her real-life husband. The foreshadowing was right in front of us!)
- Perry was officially released from AEW in April 2024, but she waited a while before confirming it, possibly because she was busy Googling “romantic vow renewal ideas.”
- Miro, despite signing an AEW extension in 2022, asked for his release in September 2024 and was finally granted it this February.
What’s Next for the Happy Couple?
Will Miro return to WWE? Will Perry reclaim her role as wrestling’s most chaotic valet? Or will they both just enjoy their international lifestyle while occasionally reminding us all that true love always kicks out at two?
Either way, one thing’s for sure—this storyline is far from over.
