The heart of the matter
AJ Lee made an appearance on the Jim and Sam Show, in order to promote her new book called ‘ Crazy is my Superpower’. During the interview, the Black Widow said that wrestling would always have a special place in her heart.
However, the former Diva’s Champion also admitted that CM Punk was on the other end of the spectrum. She said:
“Him and I have different views on that for sure. My heart is always gonna have this giant place for wrestling, so I’ll always miss that moment right in the ring where you feel the energy from the crowd, and there’s nothing that can replace that. But I think that you should appreciate the different kinds of happy there are. So I have positive memories of that and I miss the fans and so doing these autograph signings and seeing these people that I’ve seen for the past 7 years is the coolest thing in the world to me, so it’s nice to kinda see them again. But he [Punk] is very okay without the crowds”
What's next?
AJ Lee will continue to do the rounds to promote her book, so expect to hear more about her WWE tenure in the immediate future.
Author’s take
As a wrestling fan, it feels good to hear that the Black Widow will always love wrestling. However, I was drawn back to WWE by CM Punk’s pipebomb promo, so it comes as a disappointment that he has severed all ties with the world of sports entertainment.
