AJ Lee recently attended AEW Double Or Nothing in Las Vegas, so she got a good look at her pick for the best wrestler on the AEW roster.
In speaking on The Sessions with Renee Paquette, Lee declared that she’s been highly enjoying the product of All Elite Wrestling. Accordingly, she also revealed who she thinks is the best talent on the roster:
“I think the best wrestler they (AEW) have is Serena Deeb. I’m obsessed with her. Serena and I go way back. I was in FCW, and I was the first female indie wrestler they had signed in like a decade or something. It was this huge deal. I only had two years of experience, so it was kind of just this label. When she came it was like I was just drowning, and this wonderful person came to save me. She was an indie wrestler that had a lot of experience, like a real indie wrestler,” Lee explained.
“She was so good, and she taught me so much in this very short period of time, and then got injured,” she continued. “Then I had to step up and be locker room leader. All I did was just mimic what she taught me. It made me a better wrestler and I honestly credit her [with] teaching me and then passing that torch to me, or me becoming a good wrestler and everything else happened afterward success-wise. So she’s just the beginning of a chapter for me and I just like to see her shine now. She’s so f*cking good.”
AJ Lee went on to also praise former AEW Women’s World Champion, Britt Baker.
“I love Britt [Baker], that’s my girl. I love a promo, you know I love a promo. There’s just a confidence, there’s something you just can’t teach people. If you love yourself, and you know who you are, you speak a different way. I just see that in her, and I’m just like ‘that’s my baby’.”
Serena Deeb competed for the AEW Women’s World Championship at Double Or Nothing, but fell short in her efforts against Thunder Rosa. Britt Baker won the inaugural Owen Hart Foundation Women’s Tournament by defeating Ruby Soho in the finals.
