AJ Lee used her first promo on Raw in 10 years to put a
spotlight on mental health and urged viewers who are
battling mental health issues to fight because it’s worth
it.
Lee said that when she retired in 2015 she thought she did
everything there was to do in professional wrestling but she
wasn’t healthy and she needed to get right, so she went to
therapy.
She got cheers from the crowd for opening up about her
struggles and also a “therapy” chant from the crowd, who
were respectful throughout her promo.
“I wasn’t healthy. I needed to take care of myself, get
right. I went to therapy, I got treatment, and I found a way
to turn all this mental chaos into my superpower,” AJ said.
“And man…the fight is not easy, everyday is a fight. But let
me tell you, if you’re going through the same thing, that
fight is worth it, you’re worth it,” she continued.
Her promo was eventually interrupted by Becky Lynch, and
then Seth Rollins, and then CM Punk.
More than 1.7 million views on YouTube alone were recorded
for her segment since it went up online just over 12 hours
ago
