Former WWE superstar Layla El shared her thoughts on AJ Lee potentially returning to WWE during an appearance on Chairshot Sports. The speculation comes as WWE prepares for the 2025 Royal Rumble event.
AJ Lee held the Divas Championship and established herself as a prominent figure in WWE’s women’s division during the 2010s. She departed the company in 2015 following injury concerns and amid tensions between WWE and CM Punk. Discussions about her potential return intensified after Punk rejoined WWE in 2023.
During her appearance on Chairshot Sports, Layla El identified AJ Lee as her predicted surprise entrant for the Women’s Royal Rumble match. The former LayCool member referenced recent WWE programming, noting how commentator Michael Cole refers to CM Punk as “AJ Lee’s husband” and Punk’s mentions of Lee during television appearances and press conferences.
