Eva Marie reflects on working with AJ Lee during her first WWE run.
During Eva Marie's first run within WWE, she made her debut in the ring with very little in ring experience, and early on, faced off and shockingly defeated AJ Lee.
While speaking to DS Shin on Ring The Belle, Eva spoke about her work with AJ, commenting on how easy she was to work with.
"She was actually fantastic. Because looking back, I have to give a lot of love to many of the girls, especially working with me out the gate because they didn't know who I was until after obviously, you know, me being there for a little while and them getting to know me as like a person and not like the Eva Marie character. For them to have the patience to be willing, gracious enough to kind of guide me through a lot of the things that we did or any of the work that we did together is amazing. Its huge because that's hard, especially when you're at such a high caliber and a high level and then to also have to in a sense dumb it down for somebody that literally had just weeks previously learned how to take her first back bump like that's kind of insane so I really appreciate it and I had a great time like, she was awesome and really easy to work with."
Eva would exit the company in 2017, but returned in 2020 for a year long run with the promotion.
