AJ Lee Recalls Little Boy Who Called Her ‘The Most Foul Curse Word’ After She Turned Heel On John Cena

AJ Lee recalls how a little boy called her ‘the most foul curse word’ after she had turned heel on John Cena at TLC 2012.

At the backend of 2012, AJ would begin to establish a pairing with John Cena, with the pair being involved in a brief romantic storyline that ended with Lee turning on Cena at TLC 2012 and siding with Dolph Ziggler to help Ziggler retain his Money In The Bank briefcase.

While speaking to The Match-Up in a new interview, AJ Lee recalled the fan reaction after the moment, noting that a young boy called her ‘the most foul curse word’ following the heel turn.

“Oh, my God. I mean, I probably lost count of how many times that happened. But my favorite, I can’t use the words because they’re the filthiest words ever. But my favorite instance was I did like it’s called like a heel turn when you go from like a baby face to a bad guy, and my first time ever doing that was against.. I turned on John Cena, like pushed him off a ladder, and I will never forget like going down the entrance ramp and this dad and a little boy were like, ‘yay,’ they were so happy to see me, and then I turned on John Cena and I was coming to the back and this little boy like said the most foul curse word at me, and then his dad was like, ‘yeah, that’s right!’ Like his dad was so proud of him, and I was like, a reaction? (thumbs up) Like it was the funniest thing. But stuff like that, especially when I was just turning into a bad guy against Cena, I would have so many angry reactions.”

Elsewhere in the same interview, AJ spoke about leaving herself at the curtain when she makes a WWE appearance. You can read more about that here.
