CJ Perry Hospitalized with Finger Infection

CJ Perry was originally scheduled to make her official debut for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre at this past Friday’s Viernes Espectacular event in Mexico. Perry was noticeably absent from CMLL’s event and also AEW’s Collision show on Saturday in Garland, Texas.

Perry announced on Twitter on Saturday that the reason she was absent from both CMLL and AEW’s shows was due to her being hospitalized over a recent infection on her finger that spread to her arm requiring her needing to go to the emergency room.

#CMLL Please keep me in your prayers I’m at the ER @vphcares. 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… pic.twitter.com/UcFAg9WLU2
