About

AJ Lee, born April Jeanette Mendez on March 19th, 1987 in Union City, New Jersey. AJ was the youngest of three children and grew up in a very strict family. She attended Memorial High School where she participated in cheerleading and softball.

AJ debuted in professional wrestling in 2007 when she signed with Women Superstars Uncensored (WSU). From there she wrestled for promotions such as Combat Zone Wrestling (CZW), Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) and Ring of Honor (ROH). In 2009 she signed with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and was assigned to their developmental territory Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW).

In 2011 AJ made her debut on the main WWE roster as part of the all-female stable The Divas of Doom alongside Natalya. Following the break-up of the group, AJ developed a character as a "crazy chick" which earned her a huge following from fans. In 2013 she won her first championship when she captured the Divas Championship at WrestleMania 29. She went on to become one of the most decorated female wrestlers in WWE history by holding both the Divas Championship and WWE Tag Team Championships several times each.

Throughout her career AJ had numerous feuds with many top female wrestlers including Beth Phoenix, Kaitlyn, Layla and Nikki Bella. Her final match took place at WrestleMania 31 where she defeated Divas Champion Nikki Bella for the title before departing from WWE afterwards due to personal issues.
