      Eric Simbuera I agree and I hate how people criticize her for who she is like if she is bi polar people put pressure on her it’s ok to be bi polar but it’s NOT ok to talk about her or any person about being bi polar.

      @@TheHardstyleGuy. well whoever criticizes her will get a severe ass kicking from me! AJ is the most wonderful person in this world and she actually cares about people which is hard to find this day in age. People who dont know her are just clueless and braindead

I love AJ and I respect her so much, her personality is so mature and its really new to me and her face is getting mature and she is getting prettier and prettier by day. I love you AJ, please come back to WWE ❤ ❤

I hope AJ returns to the wwe so she can face Sasha Banks, Alexa Bliss, Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch and etc. That would be awesome but it was be really awesome if CM Punk returned. #LoveAJ

    AJ is so fucking gorgeous and so down to earth. It sucks so bad that she isn’t gonna wrestle anymore. I’ve been watching so many videos of her in her most memorable moments and just moments with her in general and it’s sad to know she’s not doing that anymore. Like there’s a part that’s missing now. Regardless, she is the best diva out there and will always be. I love her to death and she will never be replaced.

I used watching wrestling to funnel my emotions. I wish I would of followed my dream of being a pro wrestler. I would of been Awesome..... As good as Randy Savage, Shawn Michaels, and CM Punk.
