All Elite Wrestling star CJ Perry (Lana in WWE) has been hospitalized for over two days with a gnarly infection in her finger that spread to her arm.

Many of her fans noticed that Perry was conspicuously absent on last week’s AEW Collision. Her “client” El Idolo wrestled, but the manager was nowhere to be found, nor was any explanation given for why she was missing.

Those fans didn’t have to wait long to find out why though.

Thursday night, Perry shared some nasty photos of an infection she was suffering from on social media.

“Please keep me in your prayers I’m at the ER @vphcares,” CJ wrote.

“The infection from my small finger has gone up my arm. I am so sorry I had to miss last night and @AEW tonight.

“I look forward to debuting in Mexico with @AndradeElIdolo. Good luck @ToBeMiro and my client @AndradeElIdolo on #AEWCollision & #AEWContinentalClassic.”

That debut might be pushed back, however, because CJ Perry as of Monday night she was still in the hospital.

“I have been in the ER and hospital for over 50 hours. The infection has gotten worse and I’m going into surgery tonight,” she wrote.

“Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers. I love you all.”

Prior to that message, CJ Perry posted a two-minute and 32 second video to TikTok.

“I have been in the hospital for over 48 hours. About to go into surgery,” she wrote.

On the video she added that the infection began as just a splinter in her finger.

So far on Tuesday, Perry has yet to give an update on how the surgery went and how long she will be out of action. Stay tuned.
