The former WWE Diva’s champion cleared the rumors on her in-ring return
The 34-year is often regarded as the person who paved the way for the women’s revolution in WWE. AJ Lee‘s influence and contribution towards pro-wrestling are often hailed as one of the greatest. Her success story in WWE is a remarkable one. It has been speculated for a long time that she would follow in her husband’s footsteps and make her in-ring return soon.
She hung up her boots back in 2015 but stated that she would be back last year. While speaking to Freddie Prinze Jr on iHeart Radio’s Wrestling With Freddie, Lee revealed that she has a few opportunities to make it back to the squared circle. However, she also added that she isn’t sure about having the fire to make a return to the ring.
She stated, “Wrestling opportunities have popped up over the years and I’ve never been ready for that. I’m not sure if physically, the fire is there, but the art of it has always been there. When I was a fan, the women were my favorite part of the show and I would skip the guys matches to watch the ladies.”
