AJ Lee's introduction to WWE viewers came on the original NXT broadcast, back when the show was a competition that would see a set number of rookies compete for a main roster contract. Lee was part of season three, which was comprised entirely of female contestants and aired exclusively on WWE.com.

Lee's performances on the show drew praise, but it wasn't enough for WWE higher-ups. According to Crazy Is My Superpower, at one point, she was taken into a meeting with the head of talent relations who told her cruelly "nobody wants to have sex with you." Apparently, that was considered an indictment of her marketability, and she was soon eliminated from NXT - despite having been told that she was getting the highest total of fan votes each week.

Needless to say, no employee should have to be subject to such foul harassment from an office superior, and it was yet another piece of adversity Lee would have to overcome.
