Lana (CJ Perry) says Vince McMahon told her “no more politics” after Donald Trump became U.S. president

While speaking to TMZ’s Inside The Ring podcast, former WWE star Lana (CJ Perry) was asked how Paul “Triple H” Levesque’s creative process differs from Vince McMahon’s. Here was CJ’s response…

“I don’t know. I’m not there and there, but I would say Vince wrote a lot more promos. That’s one thing I do know for sure. I think there’s a lot of writers there still. There’s still like 35 writers. Vince did micromanage—when I was there for that 10 years, Vince micromanaged all the promos. So John Cena could change it. Bray Wyatt could do his own thing and he could approve. Paul Heyman, but no, Vince wrote my promos. [Line for line?] Oh, yeah. Like the Russian stuff. He was absolutely hands-on writing.

I think he was using me as his puppet to talk about America because once [Donald] Trump became [United States] president, he sat me and Miro [Rusev] down. He’s like, ‘Okay, no more politics.’ He was like, ‘It’s too polarizing and controversial.'”
