#3 AJ Lee can't hold her tears back when she meets her idol, WWE Hall of Famer Lita

AJ Lee made her way to WWE in 2009, and remained with the company for the next six years or so. Lee was a part of several major angles on the main roster during her WWE stint, most notably her love triangle storyline with WWE greats CM Punk and Daniel Bryan in 2012.

In the above clip, Lee can be seen meeting her favorite Superstar Lita during a fan meet-and-greet in July 2001. Lee immediately broke into tears as she couldn't believe that she was right in front of her idol. Lita embraced Lee in an incredibly wholesome moment.

Lee retired from WWE soon after WrestleMania 31. Interestingly, she is married to CM Punk, who once dated Lita. A three-time WWE Divas Champion, Lee is credited by many as the flagbearer of the WWE Women's Revolution. The Women's Revolution led to fans witnessing a bunch of firsts, with the most notable one being the first-ever Women's main event in WrestleMania history.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
