During an interview with Chris Van Vliet, former WWE star Lana (CJ Perry) commented on her romantic storylines in WWE. Here is what she said courtesy of ChrisVanVliet.com…

“It was a little awkward when I had to practice that kiss with Dolph [Ziggler] and my, at the time, boyfriend was in the room. The whole thing was so funny, because Johnny Ace [John Laurinaitis] and Vince McMahon show what we need to do, and they get up real close, real super close.”

[To each other?] “Yeah, showing how it needs to be done. We’re giggling, and Vince is like, ‘No, we’re all professionals here. We’re all grown adults.’ So that already helped me go, okay, these grown men are very, you know, it is very professional. I come from a performance background, and I can easily pretend to be a friend, assassin, lover, mistress, and then leave work and turn it off, go back home, do chores, and do life and be together with Miro. We both understand that. He takes acting class. He’s been in movies. He’s been a husband in different things as well. So I think we always had that understanding. He’s very confident, though, he’s a man who feels totally secure and confident in me playing something that is believable, and I give him his props and flowers, because maybe for me it would be a little bit harder vice versa, but he understood that was what was bringing good money into the household.”
