What most fans did not know was how scared she was before any of it happened. Speaking on State of Mind with Maurice Benard, Lee revealed that her last year wrestling before retirement was when her mental health was at its lowest — despite being champion and appearing to be at the top of her career. She said taking ten years to genuinely take care of herself meant coming back feeling the healthiest she had ever felt. But the fear of what the pressure would do to her again was real. She said the test was whether she had the tools to work with the anxiety rather than be consumed by it. This video breaks down everything she said and what it means in the context of her return.
