1) Who do you think is the most underrated Diva right now? – Quanisha @JohnCena757
AJ – Emma, Summer and Bailey are entertaining, talented, and most importantly, good people. They’re all also that special kind of weirdo I just pag-ibig to see succeed.
2) Do you think that you are similar to the character you play or incredibly different? – Claire @WeeClaireBear13
AJ – We’re similar in our pag-ibig for denim cutoffs and our inability to censor our smartass attitude. I don’t skip or put guys through tables quite as much in my personal life.
3) What was your paborito feud? – Madalyn @AJandTheShield
AJ – Was there any doubt I’d say Kaitlyn? There’s just something extra special about punching your good friend in the face. (Don’t try that at home.)
4) If the WWE world was Gotham which character would you be? Villain, Hero, or both? – Tiffany @TiffanyNagel
AJ – TV AJ (as I affectionately refer to the psychopath who wears my cutoffs on TV) would probably be madami of a Catwoman. She’s definitely the character with the most shades of gray. Sometimes she fights for good, sometimes for evil, but always looks out for herself. On occasion TV AJ is a Harley Quinn kind of chick, in the sense that she’s an adorable lunatic who loves a little too strongly, and can beat people up while giggling about it. (Don’t try that at home, either.)
5) If you could have one superpower what would it be and why? – David Hammer @DT_Hammer
AJ – I’d want all of Jean Grey’s telepathic and telekinetic powers, but without any worry of a Dark Phoenix heel turn.
6) What is your paborito thing to do on your araw off? – Jason Gilliam @Jason_Gilliam05
AJ – Sweatpants. Coffee. Video games. Sleep. Repeat.
7) My tanong is, can we be best friends? – Rebecca @Skips_Like_AJ
AJ – Sure! Do you enjoy catfishing, emotional torment, and having what you hold most dear stolen from you? Then TV AJ is the buddy for you! Real life AJ is just gonna borrow your hoodies all the time and never give them back.
8) What is your paborito promo you have done? – Anthony @ShinningWidow
AJ – The secret admirer reveal is my paborito promo. Tearing the Diva’s roster a new one is a close second.
9) What have been your tuktok 3 paborito matches? – Chay Giles @chaygiles1
AJ – 5. reyna of FCW pamagat match vs Serena
4. NXT Season 3 vs Naomi
3. Triple Threat Diva’s pamagat vs Nikkie & Paige
2. Summerslam Diva’s pamagat vs Paige
1. Payback Diva’s pamagat vs Kaitlyn
(I know that’s five and you asked for three. I can count, I’m just a cheater.)
10) What tips would you give to someone who wants to become a WWE Diva/Wrestler? – Amy Samardzija @AMY_WWE
AJ – I’ll put my serious pants on for a moment (oddly enough my serious pants are also denim cutoffs) to answer this tanong properly. It’s hard to not sound generic when saying “focus on your education first”, but that really is what you should do. The odds of making it are small, and even if you do make it, it’ll be smart to have a skill in your back pocket. With that said, I believe that anyone can accomplish anything with the right amount of heart. Hell, if I can make it, anything is possible. Do your research, find a wrestling school, and see if you can hang. If you pag-ibig it, keep doing it in your spare time while you take care of your studies. Most importantly, don’t be discouraged if it seems too difficult at first, or the odds are against you, or if no one believes in you. You are in control of your own destiny. If you want it, believe in yourself and go get it. Want. Take. Have.
11) I know you’re an avid gamer and tagahanga of comics, but are you a tagahanga of anime? – Shai @Shai_Sensei
AJ – Thanks to Toonami, I fell in pag-ibig with Inuyasha, Cowboy Bebop, Yu Yu Hakusho, and Witch Hunter Robin. I even named my dog Kagome. I’d also say that Dragonball Z got me through high school.
12) What goes through your head during matches, especially when you won your first Diva’s Championship? – Kayla @kayyyla_m
AJ – “Don’t mess up…don’t mess up…don’t mess up…”
13) You were a dreamer at Madison Square Garden ten years nakaraan for Wrestlemania 20- how did it feel making your entrance as the champion this taon at Wrestlemania 30? – Claire O’Driscoll @WWEDrico
AJ – “Don’t trip…don’t trip…don’t trip…”
Seriously though, that was the most surreal moment of my life. I promised myself and my father at WM 20 I would be in the ring one day, so to not only be there ten years later, but to enter and leave as the champ, was beyond a dream come true.
14) What’s your all time paborito Pokemon game? – Christina @wwechristina
AJ – Red was the first I ever played. (Raise your hand if you picked Charmander? Woot!) I borrowed it from a friend and cried when I had to give it back. My parents saved up to buy me Yellow. Ownership combined with an adorable/cranky Pikachu sidekick would make that one my all time favorite.
15) When your career is sinabi and done, what do you hope your legacy will be? – Katie @Katie1STLADY
AJ – I hope I will have made people see that you can be successful and still have all of your original parts. Basically, I want people to know you can be yourself- no matter how “weird” or different from the norm that person might be. The things that some people will think are your weaknesses will actually be your greatest strengths. Who would’ve thought a 5’2’’, 100 lb nerd who can’t walk in heels would be accepted as a Diva?
AJ – Emma, Summer and Bailey are entertaining, talented, and most importantly, good people. They’re all also that special kind of weirdo I just pag-ibig to see succeed.
