AJ Lee Wants Two Former Divas Champions In WWE: 'Let's Get Them Back'

AJ Lee wants to see two of her biggest rivals return to WWE. The Women's Intercontinental Champion named Paige (now known as Saraya) and Kaitlyn (Celeste Bonin), are the wrestlers she'd most like to see back in the company.

Lee feuded extensively with both women during her original WWE run from 2012 to 2014. The three competed in a handful of televised singles matches during that period, creating some of the most memorable women's division moments of that era.

In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Lee made her pitch for bringing back both former superstars.

"I love Paige... if I could bring somebody back, her and Kaitlyn. Let's get them back."

AJ Lee spoke particularly warmly about Paige, describing their relationship during their time together in WWE.

"We'd always joke that I was her fairy godmother and I just took her under my wing and tried to protect her," Lee revealed.

The champion believes Paige would thrive in today's WWE environment. Lee praised the current locker room culture and the strides the women's division has made in recent years.

"She's so talented and I knew it from day one. It would be kind of heartwarming and healing, and she would be a great addition to this locker room. I think this place has really come a long way and the women work together so beautifully, and they're so supportive. I would love for her to experience just how fun it is now."
