AJ Lee Says Managing Her Anxiety And The Mental Part Has Been The Toughest Aspect Of Returning
AJ Lee is set to return to the ring for the first time in over a decade when she teams with her husband CM Punk to face Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins.
Lee returned to WWE TV on the September 5th episode of WWE SmackDown, her first appearance in WWE since March 2015.
Speaking to ESPN, AJ was asked what the hardest part of her return has been.
“Quite honestly, managing my anxiety. I get a little nervous with the tension and I’ve been very comfortable as a writer and producer the past ten years, being behind the scenes and creating worlds where I don’t have to be the art. I kind of liked being the artist. Now, to be both and create this cool world and have people looking at me is a little stressful, but I am very good at managing my anxiety now, and I can balance it and keep myself even. The mental part has been the biggest hurdle so far,” she said.
Elsewhere during the interview, AJ commented on how long her return had been in the works. You can find her full comments here.
