AJ Lee isn't sure if she's physically ready to have another wrestling match.

Lee last competed in 2015, teaming up with Paige at WrestleMania 31 against the Bella Twins. The next night on RAW, she took part in a six-woman tag team bout, which was the final time she saw in-ring action.

The former WWE Superstar was the most recent guest on Wrestling with Freddie to discuss a variety of subjects. When asked about a possible return to the ring, Lee revealed that while opportunities have been presented to her over the years, she just doesn't know if she's physically ready.

"Wrestling opportunities have popped up over the years and I've never been ready for that," AJ Lee said. "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." (H/T Fightful)

Lee's career in WWE was decorated with accolades and championships. During her tenure with the company, she won the Diva's Championship three times and was also a three-time Slammy Award winner.

AJ Lee is ready to do color commentary for WOW: Women of Wrestling

While she isn't certain about wrestling again, Lee is getting back into professional wrestling with WOW. When the promotion returns later this year, Lee will be adding her voice to the brand as a color commentator.

The former WWE Diva's Champion expressed immense excitement and pride when discussing the product by calling it a "new beast" in the wrestling world.

"We know that people know what the product is, or they know what it was before, but this is going to be a new beast," said Lee. "And we’re really excited about that, and it’s a great group of women. And somewhere along the way, I just kind of got inspired to say, okay, I’m also gonna do color commentary." (H/T WrestleZone)
