Speculation Grows Over Potential WWE Return of AJ Lee Following CM Punk’s Comeback

The wrestling world is abuzz with speculation about a possible WWE return for AJ Lee, following the highly publicized comeback of CM Punk. Lee, who retired in 2015, has been a much-discussed figure among fans longing for her return to the ring. With Punk’s recent return generating significant buzz, discussions have intensified about the likelihood of Lee making a comeback as well.

On the Smack Talk podcast, Bill Apter, a respected figure in wrestling journalism, discussed the potential of Lee returning to WWE. He suggested that Lee could be involved in a storyline similar to Punk’s current free agency narrative, where she would have the option to join any WWE brand. Apter posed the question, “For the women’s division, do you think that AJ Lee, (CM Punk’s) lovely wife, might be romanced to come back, and be given the same situation: RAW, SmackDown, or NXT?” He further elaborated on the idea, stating, “I think that this would be a great angle to do where AJ Lee goes through the same process that her husband CM Punk goes through. It’d be very compelling, with him kind of advising her, and the two of them just trying to decide.”

While a full-time return for Lee seems uncertain, the possibility of a one-off appearance has not been ruled out. Her return could add a significant dynamic to the WWE’s women’s division, especially given her popularity and past achievements in the company.
