AJ Lee feels amazing at being champion again.
The new Women's Intercontinental Champion took part in the Elimination Chamber post-show after making Becky Lynch tap out for the title at the PPV event. She was asked how it felt to become a champion in wrestling again after 11 years, and Lee mentioned that her first title in the company was also in Chicago:
Amazing. It feels right to have done this in Chicago. I don't know if you guys remember, but my first title, the Divas title, was won here in Chicago. I felt like it took forever to get her to actually tap. It was the longest moment of my life, just waiting to see if she would give up, and she did. It's surreal to, 11 years later, be a champion again.
The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me: AJ Lee
Both AJ Lee and CM Punk paid tribute to their dog Larry through their gear at the show. Punk wore a Larry Forever jacket while Lee had a graphic of the same effect on her shorts. When asked about it, the new champion said that she will never forget Larry and will never love anyone again in the same way:
Oh my gosh, Larry is the best thing that ever happened to me. He is the love of our lives. I appreciate you guys bringing signs out for him all the time. I will never forget him; I will never love again the same way. But thank you guys so much for loving him.
The show tonight also featured a lot of surprises, including the return of Seth Rollins. You can check out what WWE might be planning for the former World Champion after tonight here.
