The other day my brothers and cousins were all saying who they think is the most beautiful woman alive, and when it got to me, I said AJ Lee is, and they all gave me weird looks and made fun of me. They had picked girls like Kim K. and JLo. I told them that they just don't understand, there's something about girls like AJ that the more known celebrities don't have. I don't know what it is, but their answers are all generic and unoriginal.
:laff:

Y'all are something else....:pachaha:

I've been in love with her since 7/4/2013 (Yes, I remember the date). This is her best picture, pure perfection:

Fightin’ Fangirls: AJ Lee
The Divas champ defends her title at Hell in a Cell this weekend but first talks about her love for Pizza Dog and more!

After a tumultuous back and forth between herself and Paige for possession of the Divas belt, current champ AJ Lee sets off once again to retain the title against her most equaled opponent at Hell in a Cell this Sunday. We spoke with her prior to the event about the evolution of Divas, how Gamora would fare as a wrestler, her love for Pizza Dog and much more!

Marvel.com: To begin, coming off your loss Monday at RAW, how are you regrouping to prepare for your match at “Hell in the Cell” this weekend?

AJ Lee: Oh gosh. I think it’s kind of poetic because really the only person that kind of kicked my butt and is always the cause of my losses when they really count, when the title is on the line, has been Paige. So she’s the one that makes me have to prove myself all over again; gives me the biggest challenge. Every time that I’ve defended the title against her, I’ve lost. So going into Sunday I think I have a lot of prove. No one ever makes me feel that way except for her. So that’s kind of the interesting story going into that. I want to go in and leave as champion.

Marvel.com: Do you think Alicia may come in and help Paige, kind of like the vice versa scenario of Monday? And if so, how do you think you’ll retaliate?

AJ Lee: They’re playing the numbers game, which I guess karmically I have coming to me all those times having Tamina and Big E ringside with me. So I get it but I enjoy now just being a lone soldier — one diva army — one girl revolution. I’m gonna try to take them both out on my own but it’s not going to be easy. You know, two against one.

Marvel.com: The rivalry has been going on for the better part of six months now. Besides obviously retaining the title, what would the dream scenario be for how this ends?

AJ Lee: I don’t know. I think the fact that there’s two women who aren’t necessarily your standard of diva beauty, that aren’t your standard diva… to have these two women who are very different in myself and Paige in something for so long and people are invested for the entire time and want to see it keep going says a lot about how Divas have evolved and how fans have evolved and what they hold important and what they want to see. They just want to see good matches and good wrestling and interesting characters and I think that’s revolutionary and that’s really cool to be a part of. My dream scenario was for this to go as long as it possibly could and I think it’s been like four of five months now. I kind of want to see it keep going in some way and I want the story to continue to get creepy and weird. I just enjoy having those matches with her.

Marvel.com: This is the third year that you’ve partnered with the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Can you talk a little bit about that?

AJ Lee: We have all that merch out there where the proceeds will go to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. My personal favorite is the “Support the Twins” shirt. I think that’s pretty solid. It’s really cool to see these big strong scary men but they’re wearing pink and they have a soft side. They just want to help out and help women. I think the fact that that’s such a contradiction is what makes it interesting and makes it warm your heart. I like that we are able to commit so much of ourselves during the month of October to that. Whether it’s the merchandise or the ramps or the ring ropes, we try as much as we can to get the word out there and it’s a really cool thing for us to do.

Marvel.com: You use “The Black Widow” as a finishing move. What other Marvel characters would you want to borrow moves from?

AJ Lee: Gosh. I don’t know. The perfect thing about the Black Widow is definitely kind of a little joke; a shout out to Marvel. I think I said it one time on commentary to pop my buddies over there and then it got such a good reaction with the fans that I was like “Okay we gotta keep this going. Keep it part of the repertoire.” We had the spider webs… it just all worked out really well. But I don’t know. I do have a very special love right now for Kate Bishop and my Pizza Dog. If I could somehow get a Pizza Dog with me on the way to the ring, I would be pretty psyched.

Marvel.com: So you’re obviously into Hawkeye and we’ve spoken before about you being a fan of Spider-Man and the X-Men. Are those what you’re reading these days or is there anything else that you’re keeping up with?

AJ Lee: I just got the last trade of Hawkeye where Kate’s going to LA and having all sorts of adventures so that was put in my bag this week which was really cute. I’m kind of just jumping all over the place. I know I’m way late to the party but I just got into The Sixth Gun. That’s really amazing. I’m kind of just jumping into that. I love Saga. I’m waiting to see what comes next with that. Of course, my Harley Quinn I always jump on board with but Hawkeye is my Marvel friend at the moment.

Marvel.com: Have you seen “Guardians of the Galaxy” yet?

AJ Lee: I did! It was so funny because I think that people always expect the big blockbuster to be a household name and something that they’re familiar with and then you have “Guardians of the Galaxy” come out. It’s the best one so far. It’s my favorite Marvel movie. I love those stories when it’s something you wouldn’t expect and it’s these characters who aren’t your ‘drink your milk’ super heroes. They’re little weirdos and I love that.

Marvel.com: How do you think Gamora would fare as a Diva?

AJ Lee: First of all, I would love to be her buddy. I would need to recruit her to fight against Alicia Fox. I think she would kind of kick all of our butts so I’d have to keep her on my side.

Follow AJ on Twitter here and catch Hell in a Cell live this Sunday, October 26 on the WWE Network or pay-per-view.

WWE Divas Champion AJ Lee: One-On-One
The Divas champion discusses her intense title match at Hell In A Cell, Total Divas and her love of gaming.
AJ Lee is considered queen bee in WWE’s Divas division. Unlike many of her colleagues, she isn’t the stereotypical mannequin many fans had grown accustomed to. There isn’t the slightest thing stereotypical about the chick sitting atop of the Divas division.

AJ, with her devil-may-care attitude, rocking jean shorts and skipping to the ring in her Chuck Taylors, is just part of the reason why she has become such a fan favorite.

Despite only a few years in WWE, she is already the record-holder for the longest and most reigns as Divas champion, but her energetic style in the ring and way with words is what has resonated with fans.

The Rivalry
CraveOnline: You and Paige have developed quite the rivalry over the past six months swapping the Divas championship back in forth. What do you think makes the WWE fans so interested in your rivalry?

AJ Lee: Its very cool because everyone in the wrestling community knew who she was but she was a new talent and so for them to kind of jump on board that people didn’t know is a testament to how good she is and the chemistry we have. The last time I got to do something that lasted more than a month was with Kaitlyn and I think people are really interested in a story when you know, there’s a really good story to it and there’s chemistry and you kind of want to see new people be married for awhile. We’re going on four months now and kind of excited to see where it goes from here.

Hell In A Cell
CraveOnline: What can fans expect from your championship match at Hell In A Cell. Do you have anything special planned because you raised the bar with your title win at NOC?

AJ Lee: Gosh, I don’t know. That’s the thing. Thank you by the way for liking that attention, I’m so proud of that. We basically raise the bar and every time I’ve defended the title against Paige I’ve lost so I’m nervous. Its going to be interesting to see what we do that’s different and how we raise the bar this time and increase the intensity. We’re pretty unpredictable and prone to violence so we’ll see what happens [laughs].

She’s A Bad Girl
CraveOnline: Last year, you dropped that hilariously brutal promo on the Total Divas cast. Did any of them take that personal? And is there any chance we will see you on the Total Divas in the future?

AJ Lee: Well, you know I was a bad guy. I’m a good guy now [laughs]. That kind of came about because the second season they asked me to replace JoJo and to jump on and its just not something I’m interested in. I want to be known for this character on TV two nights a week and then I want to go away and live my life in private. So it’s just not my cup of tea but it’s okay that it’s other people’s cup of tea. I think its funny doing that ‘pipe bombshell’ [promo on Total Divas cast] as I call it. It kind of made people pick a side and get mad and go “Yeah, good for you for not being in it.” In reality, it’s a good opportunity for these girls and you got someone like Paige joining it this year to give their own spice and flavor. It’s something that’s interesting and helps the women in our company have something fun to do and make names for themselves. I’m just interested in myself only wrestling and have a nice quiet private life…as much as I can [laughs].

CraveOnline: There are a lot of divas tags as of late. Can you see a divas tag title taking off or would you rather the divas title be the focus?

AJ Lee: There have definitely been times when you have little cliques that work well together like Summer [Rae] and Layla and then you have the Bella’s and who knows if me and Paige can get on the same page, no pun intended, one day. That’d be a cool team. That would be cool to see more of those solidified teams and not just random Divas tags but I don’t know if titles would work. I think its fun to have this one prize that we all covet and are fighting for. But it would be cool to see some alliances.

Who’s Got Next?
CraveOnline: Who’s a diva to watch in NXT and what makes her stand out from all the others?

AJ Lee: I’m not the greatest at following it. What have I seen is when I’ve actually been there to have a match myself and I got to work with Bayley. As a person she is amazing and as a wrestler she is amazing. She knows who she is. She has an amazing character. I want the world for her. People I’d say to look out for her are Bayley, Lana, Summer, and Emma. Those are girls who I think has so much potential.

On Gaming
CraveOnline: I know you’re a gamer so I have to ask. Will you be getting WWE2K15 for the PS4 or Xbox One?

AJ Lee: PS4. I don’t want to alienate my Xbox fans. I love Xbox. I’m still waiting to get Xbox One but it’s so cool to see yourself in a video game.

CraveOnline: How biased are you in your gameplay? Does AJ Lee have every title?

AJ Lee: [Laughs] I think last year I started as the champion. I don’t know what its like this year. I would still like to be.

CraveOnline: My buddy, Sam, is a big fan of Metal Gear Solid like yourself, and would kill me if I didn’t ask you about the game. Are you looking forward to the new entry and who is your favorite character of the series besides Solid Snake?

AJ Lee: Ooh. I don’t understand this when I say this and maybe now she wouldn’t be but the girl I got special love for is Meryl, just because she’s the female protagonist in Metal Gear Solid. She was so cute and I always tried to keep her alive [laughs]. She’s my pick…her and Sniper Wolf. I’ve got little action figures of them all over the place. So yeah, I’d have to go with them.

Dream Job
CraveOnline: We’ve all seen the footage of you meeting Lita as a kid. What’s it like now to be on the other side of that with little girls now looking up to you?

AJ Lee: It’s insane because you don’t think you’re going to have that type of reach or that kind of affect on people. The affect of having your dream job is that it influences people and that’s the best thing I will have ever done with my life is have these little kids look up to me and embrace their individuality because of me, to think its okay to be a wonderful weirdo and be proud of that and be proud to wear sneakers, be little tomboys, or whatever it is that they are and feel different. I hope they can look at me and know its okay to be different and that’s what kind of message I get when I have these signings through WWE and I meet these girls and they tell me that I help them be comfortable in their own skin. That will be the most amazing thing I’ve ever done.

CraveOnline: We know you actually grew up as a wrestling fan, which is a rarity with girls. What was it like being a female wrestling fan at school?

AJ Lee: There weren’t many of us [laughs]. It determined where I sat at lunch because I’d have a bunch of guys that liked wrestling and those were my buddies. Girls didn’t get it. So from a very young age I was alienating myself. But it was cool. That was my little clique and I’m at 12 saying “Yeah, I’m going to do it” and everyone kind of grows up and changes their mind but its in my yearbooks that everyone thought I was still going to do it. I was the last one standing.

CraveOnline: Do you have a dream match scenario?

AJ Lee: Oh, man. Hmm. I think my dream match scenario happened already. It was me and Kaitlyn when I won the title. We kind of come into the show together and done NXT and had this amazing story leading up to it. That’s my favorite match of all time as well. So my dream scenario would have to be with my best friend when I won the title for the first time. I don’t think it gets better than that.

Staying In Shape
CraveOnline: What is your diet and workout routine while on the road? I imagine it’s pretty strict.

AJ Lee: Being on the road in general, it’s harder to get your workouts in and eat right especially when you’re on three hours of sleep. Anyone that can make pain while on the road is impressive. Its one of things you have to be on top of and force yourself to work out. No one ever wants to. You don’t want to sweat and workout and be tired but you have to.

TMNT?
CraveOnline: If you could put one celebrity outside of WWE into the Black Widow, who would it be?

AJ Lee: [Laughs] I don’t know.

CraveOnline: With Halloween coming up and you being kind of a nerd and having a knack for cool costumes in the past, do you have any special costume planned this year?

AJ Lee: The fun thing about our show is that we occasionally get to have reasons to dress up. I got to do Raphael from Ninja Turtles and Kitana from Mortal Kombat and an unsuccessful try to fan lift in the middle of the ring but that’s one of my most proud moments [laughs]. But I’ve always wanted to get a Harley Quinn outfit out there. I don’t know if its going to happen but that’s kind of my goal.

CraveOnline: What can your fans expect from AJ Lee in the future?

AJ Lee: Oh, man. I don’t know. That’s the fun thing. You never really know. Week-to-week you don’t know what you’re going to get. I’m going to try and keep the title on me this Sunday. Every time I’ve tried to defend against Paige, she’s won [laughs] so I’m a little nervous. Hopefully we can keep that title one me and go for another 295 day run.
