Former WWE Superstar AJ Lee opens up about her future in wrestling

AJ Lee discussed her future in the squared circle during a recent interview.

The former WWE Divas Champion retired from the in-ring competition in 2015, with her last match taking place at WrestleMania 31. She joined Women of Wrestling (WOW) in October 2021 and currently serves as an executive producer and color commentator for the promotion.

Speaking to MMA Uncaged, AJ Lee commented on whether she's been bitten by the wrestling bug and spoke about people wanting her to do certain things in the ring. She admitted that she wants to take things slow with WOW.

“I mean look, I’ve loved training in all kinds of training. So I’ve definitely gone to train, and it’s fun, but all of the bugs of wrestling and all those things, there’s definitely many people in my ear trying to get me to do things. We’re gonna take it slow. We’re gonna start with WOW. We’re gonna start with commentating and producing, and just one step at a time,” said Lee. [H/T WrestleZone]
