High praise from the former WWE Diva’s champion.
AJ Lee retired from the ring a couple of years back and has not had a lot to say about the pro wrestling industry up until her signing with WOW as a commentator. There has been much speculation that AJ may return to the ring due to CM Punk’s success but AJ has stated this is highly unlikely.
While speaking on “The Sessions with Renée Paquette,” AJ Lee was asked about her thoughts on the AEW roster. Lee stated that she believes Serena Deeb is the best wrestler in the company.
“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,”
“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.”
