AJ Mendez Brooks aka “AJ Lee,”

A three-time Divas champion, her successful career played her as an unpredictable, crazy woman who delighted in teasing her opponents and finishing matches with her signature move, “the Black Widow.” But outside the ring, Mendez Brooks was learning to deal with another type of opponent—bipolar disorder. She says that in a way, wrestling was a release for the chaos inside her and an expression of the violence she witnessed as a child.
