WWE talent seemingly have to buy their own tickets under TKO.
Back in April, PWInsider revealed that CJ Perry had been signed to a WWE legends deal to coincide with Rusev’s return to Monday Night RAW. Through this, fans may expect the star to be able to go through the company to secure tickets to shows. However, it now appears as if that’s no longer an option for WWE’s talent.
Speaking on TMZ’s Inside The Ring, CJ Perry revealed she’s had to pay for tickets to WWE events despite being under contract, noting the change was brought in by TKO.
“I think that’s all TKO. When TKO came on, a lot of these changes, like, you have to buy tickets. Everyone has to buy tickets. Liv had to get all the tickets for her whole family and everything. My husband had to buy to bring his whole family in at WrestleMania. It was $5,000. Had to buy for the suite. And it’s all TKO. This isn’t Hunter, this isn’t Bruce, — I don’t have a problem paying for tickets because I believe in these people. I believe in Liv Morgan. Of course I’m gonna buy a ticket for her return. I love her. I love wrestling in general. Of course we’re gonna go see Miro. He’s had to buy tickets numerous amounts of time. Every time I’ve gone to see Rusev, he’s bought the ticket.”

As yet, Perry hasn’t made her on-screen return for WWE, although it remains possible that she reunites with Rusev down the line. For now, her last TV appearance came way back in 2023 when she was under contract with AEW.
Recently, CJ opened up on her time as ‘The Ravishing Russian’ Lana, discussing Vince McMahon wanting Vladimir Putin to come to a WWE show. You can read more that here.
As always, we’ll aim to provide any further updates on CJ Perry as soon as we hear more.
