In a recent interview, former WWE star AJ Lee recalled a funny story about a young fan who was so upset by her heel turn that he cursed her out with “the filthiest words ever”.
🎠The Heel Turn in Question
The incident took place at the WWE TLC pay-per-view in December 2012. At the time, AJ Lee was involved in a romantic storyline with John Cena. During his ladder match against Dolph Ziggler:
- AJ Lee initially came to the ring to help Cena by attacking Vickie Guerrero.
- But when John Cena was climbing the ladder to win the match, AJ Lee shocked everyone by pushing the ladder over.
- This allowed Dolph Ziggler to win the match, and AJ Lee officially became a “bad guy” or heel.
👦 The Foul-Mouthed Young Fan
AJ Lee shared the story of the young fan who reacted strongly to her actions:
- She was walking down the entrance ramp at the event and saw a father and his young son who were initially cheering for her enthusiastically when she first appeared.
- But after she turned on Cena and was walking back, the same little boy “said the most foul curse word” at her.
- AJ Lee said she can’t repeat the words the boy said because they’re too foul.
🤣 The Hilarious Part: The Father’s Reaction
AJ Lee found the father’s reaction just as surprising as the boy’s cursing, because instead of correcting his son, the father was proud of him:
- After the boy cursed at AJ Lee, his dad was like, “Yeah, that’s right!” in approval.
- Instead of being offended, AJ Lee thought the whole thing was funny and a memorable reaction from fans.
AJ Lee saw the fan’s extreme reaction as a sign she was doing her job well as a new “bad guy” character.
