Morgan mentioned how The Black Widow had to battle a lot of things during her first stint, including peers who weren't as good as her in the ring. She managed to overcome every obstacle to be an inspiration to the current generation of superstars."She's somebody that [sic], like, gutted, scraped, scratched, and clawed. As a girl from New Jersey, working her way through the indies to get her shot in WWE at a time when they were looking for girls that were like Playboy models, if you remember," he said.Morgan continued:"She got through all of that and still got over, still became a multi-time champion, and still was putting on great in-ring work; matches nonstop with girls that [sic], I'm going to keep it a buck, were not good. Some of them were, but the majority of them were not, as far as in-ring action and in-ring psychology go."AJ Lee's first run in WWE lasted six years, from 2009 to 2015, during which she won the Divas Championship three times.AJ Lee has signed a multi-year contract with WWEFor those wondering if AJ Lee's return is for a one-off match, BodySlam.net recently reported some good news.
