— Prior to returning to the squared circle on RAW Monday, AJ Lee appeared on The Opie & Anthony Show where she remarked on how much she missed competing in the ring and how prior to assuming the the role of General Manager of RAW, she felt she didn’t need to focus on anything else besides grappling techniques. However, after being thrust into the authority figure role, she realized how there is much to the wrestling industry than wrestling.
“I was like, ‘I’m just going to wrestle and I don’t need to do anything else. And, I would hear so much advice that there’s so much more to this business than that. There are so many levels and ways for people to connect to you. And, I didn’t get it until I was thrust into this role (as Raw GM) and learned from everybody else that was in it. Now, I appreciate that part of it more than I ever did before. So, I miss the wrestling, but I know that there’s time for that”, said Lee.
Lee also sheds light on what it takes to be able to cry on camera. Her remarks are available on FightingSpiritMagazine.co.uk.
