PAPER VIEW, 10:55 a.m.
If AJ Lee?s home were somehow set ablaze, there are two things she would scoop up before fleeing out the nearest exit: her blond Chihuahua and what she calls her ?fire box,? a compact collection of her most treasured personal trinkets and professional mementos.
The inaugural contents of that sentimental repository, which also houses the wrist tape from her in-ring debut, were her WrestleMania XX tickets that granted AJ and her father access to the Diva-to-be?s first live WWE experience. She?s even kept their original envelope.
The seats weren?t the best in the house, placing AJ and her dad high in the rafters of Madison Square Garden. The distance to the ring mattered little to the aspiring Diva, though, as she witnessed first-hand the reborn Undertaker square off with his brother Kane ? a confrontation between two of AJ?s favorite Superstars growing up.
?That was the most important day in my life up until that point, and also the happiest,? AJ says. ?I needed to hold on to that.?
GARDEN GROWN, 11:31 a.m
The World?s Most Famous Arena has transformed considerably since it last played host to The Show of Shows nine years ago, but if anyone?s familiar with metamorphoses, it?s AJ Lee. Due to ongoing renovations throughout Madison Square Garden, her and her father?s WrestleMania XX seats ? Sec. 426, Row E, Seats 17 and 18 ? technically no longer exist. Nevertheless, the determined Diva climbs the Garden stairs to find a view matching that of her seminal Show of Shows experience.
WATCH: AJ LEE RETURNS TO MADISON SQUARE GARDEN
Satisfied that she has found a reasonable facsimile of her WrestleMania XX vantage point, AJ leans back, her legs propped up on the seat in front of her as she curiously gazes down ? ever the WWE fan ? at construction for the night?s WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony.
?I don?t think there?s a place I have more of a connection to than the Garden,? AJ says, who last did some MSG seat-searching prior to Survivor Series 2011. ?And that connection is to WrestleMania, and we?re going to personalize it even more tomorrow when it?s going to be in New Jersey, 10 minutes from my hometown. And I?m going to be there. It?s making it all real, and connecting the dots. I can?t wait for it to be 7 p.m. tomorrow night.?
