AJ Lee broke character to send a message ahead of her return to the ring at WWE Wrestlepalooza. The veteran will be competing in her first match since 2015 at the event this Saturday night at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana.
The 38-year-old was interviewed by ESPN today and discussed her decision to return to the wrestling business. She shared that she was happy in retirement, but the company's partnership with ESPN felt like a new challenge. Lee broke character to praise Becky Lynch and claimed that the Women's Intercontinental Champion was great in the ring.
"And so starting this new chapter on ESPN feels like a whole new mountain the company needs to climb. And I was flattered that they believed that I could help sort of draw eyeballs in that way. But also, like Becky is very interesting to me. I think that she’s wonderful in the ring and we have a lot of similarities, and she would not be an easy person to get back in the ring with. So, that was exciting," she said. [H/T: Ringside News]You can check out the video below:
