AEW’s CJ Perry says MRSA infection ‘heading in the right direction’

AEW star CJ Perry’s ongoing battle with a MRSA infection has another update.

Perry on Sunday posted a video on X in which she thanked everyone for their well wishes, saying that the surgeon told her that the infection was “heading in the right direction” and is going to the surgeon “almost every day” in order to clean out and redress the wound.

“[The surgeon] put an IV in my hand with a really long needle. She said it was going to feel like fire. And literally, fire…felt a stinging sensation go up my arm. Lasted around five minutes and then it went numb. She said it was good news..and she dug in more and started to see blood, and she said we’re heading in the right direction.”

Perry has been battling the MRSA infection for the last month, requiring another trip to the hospital last week following complications. Her last appearance on AEW television took place at Worlds End on December 30, when she turned on her client Andrade El Idolo to side with her husband Miro.
