Was AJ Lee the figment of some Manga geek's adolescent imagination? She was an avid video gamer, regularly thumbing through comic books and wearing the scuffs on her Chuck Taylors with pride. But don't be fooled. This unpredictable young woman was not as innocent as she looked.

Although she stood a petite 5-foot-2, AJ was a fierce competitor with an energetic, high-flying style that posed a threat to any Diva. This bold New Jersey native first introduced herself to the WWE Universe on the third season of WWE NXT. She finished in third place but won many WWE fans with her Lucha-inspired move-set and indomitable fighting spirit.

A year after debuting on SmackDown in May 2011, AJ was pivotal in the 18-second outcome of the World Heavyweight Championship Match at WrestleMania XXVIII with a kiss to her beau, Daniel Bryan. The couple's subsequent breakup sent AJ into an emotional tailspin, and she went on to become romantically entangled with WWE's top Superstars, including CM Punk, Kane and even John Cena.
