You probably dont care but if you guys are bored like me atm then you can stream all of the latest movies and series on InstaFlixxer. I've been watching with my gf for the last couple of months =)
@Raylan Amir yup, I've been using instaflixxer for since december myself :D
@Raylan Amir yea, I've been using instaflixxer for months myself =)
@Raylan Amir yup, been watching on InstaFlixxer for months myself :)
Omg! They even played her wwe entrance theme song!! Oh the memories !!!💕😂😓😓
Gab Joon ikr 😣😢
Gxb BTS I wonder if WWE will sue them for that.
I kind of wish they didn’t because it made me sad, but i also was glad they did because it gave me a little bit of hope that she’s coming back, especially that I haven’t heard of her songs like in real life for 2 years, but the last time I’ve heard her song was 2 hours ago, I was watching her and Paige vs Natalya and Rosa Mendes, the match where she did the “titty tag”
😢😭😢😭😩😭😩😭😩
I have not seen playing the AJ Lee entrance song.
That guy who said she started the women's division is so right Sasha Charlotte Becky and all them may be good but AJ is the one made that wheel start spinning
Eric Cymbura well said I mean she twitted and saying give divas a chance and just to add that she had voice and courage to stand up to talk women's being equaled.
I WANT HER BOOK SO FREAKIN BAD!!!!!
Alejandra Rodriguez Then buy it
Sundas Ayaz It's TWEETED you baby boomer. The divas title is a relic but women like AJ, Natalya, Mickie, and Beth Phoenix gave it a semblance of prestige over the calender models who were brought in to piss on the women's wrestling scene. They are truly the unsung heroes of their time, and imo the actual pioneers for what it would eventually become today.
Bigger Foot hush child
Charlotte, Sasha, Becky, Alexa, Asuka etc. definitely contributed and added a lot to women's wrestling.. But no matter what.. Now matter what WWE says.. What idiotic plastic fans say.. If you are a true fan of Women's wrestling in WWE and support it 1000%, you know the true and that is that AJ Started it! It's a fact!
Israel no she started the divas revolution. Aj started the women’s revolution
Lmfao, no love for Chyna, Trish and Lita I see.
@4:31 "when the world is denying your value it either breaks or it makes you fight that much harder to prove everyone wrong." That's golden!
I love this woman so inspiring even she left wwe but she did so good for herself still has the popularity and connection with fans.
Same, She's so awkward it's cool xD
She raped her husband for her first child while he was drugged.
I am very proud of her. This woman inspired me so so so much and I will always respect her for what she done. I love you AJ and you're the whole reason I believe in myself more then I ever thought I could. Thank you and I one day want to be a professional wrestler like you. I hope one day I will meet you and tell you face to face how much you meant to me in my life. Thank you AJ for everything. Everything I do is because you inspired me to do it. I love you AJ and miss you. You will always be my superhero.
Mahogni Clark She's mine too. A big inspiration to me: )
Man she's so great on the mic!
she's great on the bed too
She's good on paper too. Her book is a bestseller!
I mean take a look at her promo on the total diva 🌚
She is so endearing and cute. She's captivating but at the same time so gentle lighthearted. What a gem.
She is adorable and such an inspiring woman. She is an amazing person.
She is truly an awesome human being, she is inspiring, multi-talented and very intelligent and lastly courageous. A woman who stands up to the beliefs she believed in. Great person to hang out with.
She is so sweet and kind.I read her book.Her story is so amazing and truly inspriring.There were some parts of the book that made me cry so bad and other parts that made me laugh out loud because of her so well funny and sarcastic humor.I really suggest the ones who have not bought her book to get it asap,you won't be disappointed!
AJ is the best diva of all thime and none of other divas can replace her and be as great as she is
Naddie 13 i can
She is an inspiration
Ro Andereggen wasnt she in wrestling
Suphian Rawahneh Yes she was.
Ro Andereggen yassss
Nigel B. And still is
AJ Mendez-Brooks is not only a wrestling legend, but also an awesome author to boot. I can't wait to see what she could do for another book. With that being said, I really LOVED Crazy is My Superpower!
Jason Lundgren same
16:00 Me too AJ, I literally go crazy if I don't exercise. Meditation and reflection is great, but exercise is what keeps me sane.
Missed seeing her face, so happy she's inspiring others
Omg omg omg AJ !!!!!!!!!!!!😭😭💖💖😭😭😭☺️😊💖💖
Aj forever lee yessss sister

ikr I love her
your the rudes person ever hhhk20
She So Nervous But She Make it Cool And She Also Adorable
Every time I see this interview, that theme song makes me so emotional & basically fell in love with her & miss her badly
AJ Lee is so pretty
Huh 🤔 she lowkey has really good comedic delivery with her words.
Aj Lee was by far the best seller, she could make any wrestler look good. Not to mention she had about 5 pretty good moves in NXT and FCW she wasn’t allowed to use in WWE because the divas of her time couldn’t do there part of the move to make it work. She was limited because there was only 1-2 more divas on her level. Aj was the one who started the women’s revolution. She didn’t back down from back down from Backstage bullies and stoop up for women’s wrestlers when no one else did. Like how she tweeted to Stephanie Mchahon about how females didn’t get paid nearly as much and receive a lot less tv time even when some sold more merch then higher paid male wrestlers
I miss her so freaking much. Smart. Beautiful. And a great wrestler
Such a wonderful woman! Very educated, motivational, strong and elegant. Have such a powerful message for this world and she inspires me alot. Always loved her style and gestures.
Keep on going. Dont lose focus. You have truly lifted yourself April!
Stay strong AJ 💪❤🇹🇹
AJ still looking good. Also the glasses gives her a different vibe.
Queen AJ 😍❤️👑
PLEASE COME BACK TO WWE 😭😭😭😖😖😖 I NEED YOY THERE
Aj needs to be a WWE wrestler again
GOD I WISH SHE WOULD RETURN I THINK SHE WOULD ADD ALOOOOOOT TO THE WOMENS DIVISION ESPECIALLY FOR RAW CAUSE THEY NEED IT
I remember, while in middle-high school, being completely obsessed over A.J. (I loved wrestling even before she stepped foot into the squared circle) but sadly the divas that were on didn’t have that connection with me like A.J. did. They were all gorgeous supermodels and I knew for a fact that I was not...I’m literally a potato. I always wanted to be in the WWE when I was a kid because of the male superstars I would watch every Monday and Friday. In a sense I’m just like A.J. because I’m a hardcore tomboy...I never got into barbie dolls or dressing in skirts or heels, all that girly shit was not my cup of tea. I like to think that’s because most of the girls in my school were grade A assholes so I connected with the boys who were the ones who got me into wrestling. So ever since I was in elementary I wanted to be in the WWE (and I had this silly fantasy of wrestling with the guys because there was no way I’d be able to wrestle with those gorgeous divas like kelly kelly, alica fox, layla, the bellas, eve, trish stratus, mickie james, melina, gal kim, etc.) and when I saw A.J. for the first time on my screen (she was in NXT) I immediately took notice of her geeky personality. I took notice of her knee high converse, her nerdy t-shirts, her ninja turtle and kitana halloween costumes, and once I even remembered seeing her wear a classic nintendo controller belt buckle. having done my research on her (because I immediately felt that connection since I grew up with boys who played video games and read comic books and collected action figures...u know, nerdy shit) and I found out she was just like me. She wasn’t a girly girl and the fact that A.J. (a very different type of diva) was able to make it into the WWE then that gave me hope that I can, too. It’s about the fans and doing what you love. It’s not about the fame, rather it’s about being able to entertain an audience with your talent on the mic and in the ring. Much like A.J., I would have declined to be apart of the total divas reality show too lol because I’m more of a private person. it wasn’t until my junior year of HS where my mom told me to look into getting a career that was more “realistic” and “attainable.” So...my dreams having been crushed, I went off to community college for two years, the dream of being in the WWE a long forgotten memory. Until recently, like a month or two ago, where somehow I’ve been pulled back into wrestling. Idk how, maybe it’s because youtube kept recommending me WWE videos to watch or because I remembered how much of an impact A.J. had on me. Either way, I’m going to keep going for my dream. She paved a clear path for a new generation of divas and I’ll be damned if I let the weeds grow back.
That was long
April Jeannete is amazing!! ( That's where AJ is from :) )
This will remain as one of my favorite interviews. The interviewer had sensible questions, and there's something about Aj that will just inspire you to be true to yourself. I don't conform to her opinions 100%, but having someone out there who genuinely encourages others to get real is a good thing, and for that I connect to her.
She's gonna be at C2E2 and I'm planning on going to her panel...my only fear is that there's gonna be some asshole mark in the audience whose gonna ask "So when is CM Punk gonna come back?"
The Gift Of Jericho Yup. You know there's always one.
The Gift Of Jericho And that idiot is going to be me, I am desperate for CM PUNK talk
kikwe Butt then you're a douche. It's not about him it's about her. It's been 3 years since he walked out, get over it.
And he's at C2E2 as well so show her the respect she deserves and talk to her about her and then walk 5 tables over and ask Punk directly...it's what I'm doing lol
Also, she was super nice and so friendly to meet in person. So happy to get her to sign my copy of her book.
AJ is a proper inspiration. I dont know the interviewer but props to him he definitely knows how to conduct himself
I don't understand why people keep pitting female against female. AJ Lee did a great job and so do the Bellas, each gave something different to the division. The reality show put more spotlight on the women's division as well regardless of people not being ok with it. How many females in wrestling have had high flying moves, great matches but no real recognition even before AJ came along...blame wwe not the women. They have always wanted to do more.
AJ Lee will be inducted into the WWE Hall of fame one day Bt before that I wanna see her come back and win the WWE WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP multiple times.
What's the
best part of this interview is that they played her theme song
At one point she was the biggest star in wwe. Sadly she'll never return to wwe. Neither will her husband
David Larsen Stranger things have happened. Sable and Hulk Hogan returning to WWE come to mind. AJ Lee didn't leave on bad terms.
Lewis Berrie I agree. Besides even Punk has said he doesn't care if AJ goes back to WWE at some point. Besides I can't blame AJ for just taking a break to cool down from all the 'heat' around her husband at the moment.
It may take some time, but I have hopes AJ will return someday. And when I hear "Let's light it up!" playing on the speakers of my TV ever again, I will be the happiest person ever.
Same here!!
David Larsen “never say never”
Yes she was
I love her so much 😍😍😍💘💘💘
Comeback aj lee in wwe we love you
she's soo beutiful! i look up to her soo much, she has made me see things in a different way and i thank her soo much for it.. i envy her so fucking much! she saved my life lol funny how that sounds but its true.. Thank You AJ. 😊
AJ LEE the real WOMAN REVOLUTIONARY
She's holding up well. Always thought she had a face for Hollywood, needs to do some TV or movies.
Great to see you Aj, writing a book you inspire me to a book writer some day, and you were a great women's wrestler

I wish you were still doing wwe
21:37😂❤️❤️❤️Love
Just curious about the nice eyeglasses Aj's wearing here..is it a gunmetal frame? It's kinda glossy but looks metallic on a closer look too.
Man do I miss her wrestling in the ring
Watching AJ talk about her new book discussing her stuggle with mental illness. I look to me left and see "Nikki Bella talks about the show, Total Divas". Yup, sounds about right. AJ discussing a major accomplishment, Nikki talks about her fake, garbage reality show.
And can you believe that Nikki Bella fans say AJ was only successful because of Punk? Nah. AJ was successful long before she even met Punk let alone before she dated and married him. Nikki only became successful when she started dating her meal ticket John Cena. In their first WWE stint Nikki and Brie barely did anything. Just hung around backstage for random segments and had the odd match or 2. But as soon as Nikki started dating Cena back she came and started to be given the same special treatment her boyfriend gets. Nikki was only given a run with the Divas Title so WWE could erase AJ's record and spite her and Punk for leaving which I don't blame them for. I don't mind Brie but I can't stand Nikki.
AJ's story is still a lot shorter than Nikki's. Nikki may be an inferior talent, but at least she didn't quit for an insecure man.
How does Punk quitting the company that treated him like shit make him an insecure man?
Xehanort10 the dude was never happy in wwe after he left roh he should've been started training for ufc or other promotions in that genre. He literally was a dick man no matter what. Him being nice is rare af, like finding a rare hidden item on a video game.
Platnium Sky Oh yes because you see him on a daily basis to know that he is a dick right? I'd love to hear some reasons to why you think he is a dick.
AJ Lee por favor traduza seu livro para o Português do Brasil, por favor. Eu quero muito ler!!!!
AJ Lee Please translate your book into Brazilian Portuguese, please. I really want to read !!!! I LOVE YOU 🤗
The newest video I’ve seen of Aj and I think the longest 😱 now that i know Aj has bipolar disorder, I feel like the matches I watch of people calling her crazy, actually hurt her, and her actions I feel like her actions are her immediate reactions to something, then she just let’s it happen and then the TV sees her “mental breakdown” and it’s real 😳😳
CM Punk is one lucky bastard !
FanOfAttitudeEra lol he really is aj lee is 😩😩❤️❤️😏😏
Let's get it up
She is my hero!!!!
I miss you I cry that your not here aj at wwe when Paige said she was not alone on raw me and my sister hoped that it was you but it was not girls I always pretend to be you plz come back or stop by wwe and come out and say hi to the wwe universe so we can see you
Ur My Inspiration Aj Cuz I Want To Be Wrestler.Some.Day Like PaIge And.U I wish Aj Meet. PAIGE IN WWE
Hey AJ, hey...heyyyyyy.
sigue bella como siempre
for every wrestler I respect because bumps fucking hurt. And getting your body to get used to it and having a career out of taking bumps takes a toll on your back by the time you're 40.
AJ is so cute
The world really misses her
Salute you champ aj
I've read this book from cover to cover. CM Punk's wife is very smart.
