AJ Lee Names Wrestler She Believes Is The Best In AEW

AJ Lee (Mendez) has been relatively quiet in the world of wrestling since wrestling her last match back in 2015, with her most recently being announced as an executive producer for the upcoming relaunch of WOW Wrestling.

AJ recently appeared on Renee Paquette’s The Sessions, where she spoke about the AEW product, naming who she believes the best wrestler on the roster is.

She said:

“I’ve been watching some AEW. I’ve got to say, I love so many people on the roster. I think the best wrestler they have is Serena Deeb.”

AJ continued on, detailing her relationship with Serena from back in their FCW days, saying:

“Serena and I go way back. I was in FCW and I was the first indie female they had signed in like a decade or something. It was this huge deal. I only had two years of experience. When she came in, it was like I was drowning and this wonderful person came in to save me. She was an indie wrestler that had a lot of experience. She was so good and she taught me so much in a very short period of time and then got injured, and then I had to step up and be the locker room leader.

“All I did was just mimic what she taught me. It made me a better wrestler. I honestly credit her teaching me and then passing that torch to me for me becoming a good wrestler, and everything else that happened afterwards success wise. So she’s the beginning of a chapter for me and to see her shine now is amazing.”

AJ was backstage at the AEW Double or Nothing event this weekend, where her husband CM Punk captured the AEW World Championship from Hangman Page.

AJ also spoke about Punk’s return on the show, and whether or not it sparked any desire in her to return.
