Punk, Lee marry
Punk marries Lee during a private ceremony. The event is attended by close friends and family. The pair met while working for WWE as performers.
Joins NXT
Lee joins the all-female third season of NXT.
I’m representing all the nerds out there. You know, not every girl is into pink and heels, you can be different. I’ve never dreamed of being anything but a Diva. There’s no getting rid of me.
Signs WWE contract
Lee signs her first contract with World Wrestling Entertainment after paying $1,500 to participate in a tryout and begins working in the company’s developmental territory, Florida Championship Wrestling.
I began saving my money. I just thought, whether I get signed or not, they just need to see me. Fate must have taken over, because I was so skinny and didn’t know how to do my hair and makeup. I was just a blank canvas, and they took a chance on me.
AJ Lee born in Union City, NJ
Lee is born in Union City, NJ as the youngest of three siblings. Lee spends many years in motel rooms with her poor family. Her interest in wrestling develops at a young age due to her brother being a fan of WWE.
I didn’t have the easiest time growing up; it’s no secret. We were just poor.
