AJ Lee

Is AJ Lee the figment of some Manga-geek’s adolescent imagination? She exudes the perfect girl-next-door vibe, is a self-described video gamer, enjoys wearing Catholic schoolgirl plaids, and possesses the physical skills of a gymnast. But don’t be fooled. She’s not as innocent as she looks.

Although she stands a petite, 5-foot-2 frame, AJ is a fierce competitor with an energetic, high-flying style that poses a threat to any Diva. This proud New Jersey native first introduced herself to the WWE Universe on the third season of WWE NXT. She finished in third place, but won many WWE fans with her lucha-inspired moveset and indomitable fighting spirit.

A year after debuting on SmackDown in May 2011, AJ was pivotal in the 18-second outcome of the World Heavyweight Championship Match at WrestleMania XXVIII with a kiss to her beau, Daniel Bryan. The couple’s subsequent breakup sent AJ into an emotional tailspin, and she has continued to develop crushes on WWE’s top Superstars, including CM Punk.

Shortly after experiencing the love loss of Bryan, AJ began displaying a bizarre pattern of erratic behavior that caught the entire WWE Universe off-guard. Seemingly without reason, she slapped trusted confidante Kaitlyn and began inserting herself fearlessly into big-game situations involving her apparent love interests, including Kane, Punk and Daniel Bryan Daniel Bryan — whom she was slated to wed on Raw 1,000. 

The happy couple’s nuptials would come to a screeching halt WWE Chairman Mr. McMahon informed the WWE Universe that AJ is the new Raw General Manager, much to Bryan’s dismay.

AJ’s tenure as Raw GM was short-lived, however, and she resigned from her post due to an alleged inappropriate relationship with John Cena, much to the delight of new Raw Managing Supervisor Vickie Guerrero. As The Queen Diva relished the opportunity to humiliate AJ and further expose her fraternization with the Cenation leader, the entire WWE Universe was shocked to learn the fiery Diva was actually in a steamy relationship with the 12-time World Champion, which earned AJ a Slammy Award for Best Kiss of the Year!

Even more surprising was what transpired at WWE TLC, when AJ intervened in Cena’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match with Dolph Ziggler, costing The Cenation Commander-in-Chief a World Championship opportunity and allowing her new boyfriend, The Showoff, to retain his Money in the Bank contract. The following night, AJ made it clear that her allegiance now lies with Ziggler and a mysterious heavy by the name of Big E Langston.

Although AJ’s “Ziggy” and the imposing Langston were unsuccessful in capturing the WWE Tag Team Titles at WrestleMania, shrieks of disappointment became excited exclamations the following night on Raw. In AJ’s home state of New Jersey, Ziggler cashed in his Money in the Bank contract on Alberto Del Rio to become the new World Heavyweight Champion. After winning a No. 1 Contender’s Divas Battle Royal on Raw, AJ is destined for a matching title as the stage is set for a high-stakes confrontation with her former best friend, Divas Champion Kaitlyn.

After using a newly honed “Black Widow” submission maneuver to conquer decorated competitors Natalya and Layla, AJ has her sights set on “The Hybrid Diva” in anticipation of their forthcoming Divas Title Match. Regardless of when that encounter will take place, one thing remains clear about this pint-sized powder keg: She always keeps us guessing.
