AJ Lee reveals what influenced her decision to make a comeback with WWE
During an interview with ESPN’s Vibe Check, AJ Lee revealed what influenced her decision to make a comeback with WWE…
“Honestly, when I retired, I was very sure that was the end. I felt very complete. I had this sort of pitch-perfect career and executed all of my dreams in a way I felt like I manifested, because it was done so perfectly. And so, I was done.
But over the past couple of years, since my husband’s been back, it’s sort of been in the air as an option. I wasn’t really considering it until I started to get back on the Comic Con circuit. I wrote my first original graphic novel and started to do signings, and I realized that there were so many fans still out there who were so loyal and kind, and have been with me for a decade. To go to a Comic-Con and have like a seven-hour line of people, I realized, ‘Oh, I owe them a little something, and I take them with me.’ So, I would like to give them something in return.
And this opportunity, being a new event with ESPN, that was interesting. That is a new mountain to climb. That’s not just jumping back into the fold—that’s kind of starting to build something brand new. And that’s exciting. I like a challenge.”
