AJ Lee is expanding her career into the world of anime. The former Divas Champion revealed that she and her writing partner, Aimee Garcia, are currently developing a feature film for one of the most legendary animation studios in the world.
Speaking about her production company, Scrappy Heart Productions, AJ broke the news about her collaboration with Toei Animation, the studio responsible for iconic franchises like Dragon Ball Z and Sailor Moon.
“I think this is the first time anyone’s hearing this. So we’re breaking big deal, breaking news,” AJ said. “Here we are, another example of like manifestation, one of my favorites. I love anime so much, and so one of my favorite companies growing up was Toei. They did Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball Z, and like these things that raised me. And so we are writing a movie for Toei Animation… just such a dream come true, to write, be in their office and see, like all Dragon Ball Z, like figures everywhere. It’s like, ‘Can I move in here?'”
In addition to the anime project, AJ also mentioned she recently wrote her first original feature film by herself, which she described as a “mental health horror story.” “I just wrote my first original feature by myself. I’m so excited,” she noted. “I might make it a comic book first, but it’s a horror movie, and it’s like this mental health horror story.”
While her writing career continues to flourish, she is currently preparing for the Women’s WarGames match at Survivor Series this Saturday, where she will step inside the double cage structure for the first time in her career alongside teammates Rhea Ripley, IYO SKY, Alexa Bliss, and Charlotte Flair.
