Long before she was married to Phil 'CM Punk' Brooks or even on WWE television, AJ Lee dated Jay Lethal. It was actually Lethal who helped train the future WWE Divas Champion in early-2007, and that's something he later told during interviews that he enjoyed doing.

The teacher and student relationship soon blossomed into a romantic one, and the pair became an item for around 2 years. At this point, Lethal ran his own training school, and it appears lending his help to aspiring grapplers is something he's still passionate about to this day.

Lee would go on to become a firm fixture of the WWE women's scene, winning the Divas Title on three separate occasions before retiring from the ring in 2015. Whenever Jay has been asked about her in interviews, he has always claimed that he's happy for her success.

According to Lethal, AJ was the only female in her class, which only made her work harder to succeed and show everyone what she could do. There's little doubt that experience will have helped her development.
