The women from NXT season 3: Where are they now?

#1. AJ Lee's NXT run

AJ Lee is perhaps the most memorable member of the only ever all-female season of NXT a decade ago, even though Lee didn't go on to win the competition. AJ debuted in the wrestling business in 2007 and went on to save up money so that she could audition for WWE.

Lee was signed by the company in 2009 and, like every other female wrestler on this list, she was sent to FCW which later became NXT. Lee was then named as one of the women who were part of the third season of NXT and was paired with Primo.

Lee showed her knowledge of the business and the fact that she was a complete mark for the company throughout her time on NXT, but was still eliminated ahead of the final.

AJ Lee's career after NXT

Interestingly, Lee still went on to debut on the main roster the following year alongside Kaitlyn, and the pair became known as The Chickbusters. Lee then went on to be part of one of the biggest storylines of the year alongside Daniel Bryan and CM Punk before she was named as the General Manager of RAW by Vince McMahon.

Following a scandal with John Cena, Lee was fired from her duties as General Manager and returned to competition where she went on to win the Divas Championship, a title that she held for 295 days which at the time was a record. Lee left WWE in 2015 following WrestleMania.

Lee has since gone on to write her autobiography, which became a New York Times Best Seller, and is currently writing comic books. Her most recent project is called Dungeons & Dragons: At the Spine of the World and is set to be released in October 2020.

Lee recently announced that she and Aimee Garcia had co-founded a new company called Scrappy Heart productions.
