AJ Lee is walking into WrestleMania 42 with a completely different mindset than the one she had during her first WWE run, and she made it clear that growing up both personally and professionally changed everything about how she performs. During an interview with Rick Ucchino for Sports Illustrateds The Takedown on SI, AJ Lee opened up about how her mentality today is nothing like the one she had in her twenties. Back then, she felt like she had to fight for every opportunity and constantly prove she belonged. Now, after years away from the ring, she says confidence has replaced that pressure. While talking about how maturity reshaped her approach to wrestling, AJ explained that she no longer feels like shes scrambling to survive every day. That statement says a lot about how much things have changed for her. During her original WWE run, AJ Lee was known for fighting tooth and nail to stand out in a division that didnt always get much time. Now, shes returning as someone who already knows what shes accomplished and doesnt feel the same pressure to prove herself. With WrestleMania 42 around the corner and a huge match against Becky Lynch ahead, AJ Lee sounds like someone who isnt just chasing moments anymore shes enjoying them. Instead of fighting for recognition, shes walking into the biggest show of the year with confidence and a sense of calm that didnt exist the first time around. Do you think AJ Lees new confidence will make a difference at WrestleMania 42, or will the pressure of the big stage still take over once the match starts?
