AJ Lee Comments on Her In-Ring Return Being “A Lot of Fun”
Saturday’s WWE Wrestlepalooza event in Indianapolis, Indiana featured AJ Lee & CM Punk defeating Becky Lynch & Seth Rollins in a Mixed Tag Team match. This match was notable for being Lee’s first match in ten years.
Following the show, WWE held a Wrestlepalooza post-show featuring Lee as one of the guests. One of the topics discussed included Lee’s thoughts about her in-ring return to WWE.
“The match? It felt amazing. It was really surreal. It’s been a minute. Everything hurts way more than I remember. But that was a lot of fun.”
Lee also gave her thoughts about the changes in WWE’s locker room and company since the last time she worked for the company in 2015.
“Definitely. I mean, everyone was so welcoming and so kind and so complementary in a way that made me feel like, oh! I did something and that it meant something to these wonderfully talented women. To be any tiny piece of their journey is so humbling. I’m so proud of them, like a mama, and they’re wonderful and I’m happy to be in their presence in the locker room but, the evolution of the women has been the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. They deserved it 10 years ago, they deserve it now, they deserve even more in the next 10 years.”
