The feel-good story of AJ Lee’s return to a WWE ring continues to resonate with fans, and the feeling appears to be mutual. The former three-time Divas Champion has been moved by the overwhelmingly positive reception to her comeback.
Earlier today on X (formerly Twitter), Lee shared a compilation of streamer reactions to her return, letting the WWE Universe know how much their support meant to her. “You All Made My Year,” she posted, adding that one streamer’s emotional reaction was “the cutest thing she’d ever seen besides Larry,” her and CM Punk’s dog.
Lee made her explosive return on SmackDown in Chicago, coming to the aid of her husband CM Punk during his confrontation with Becky Lynch. She stormed the ring and dropped Lynch, standing tall with Punk to close the show and immediately inserting herself into one of WWE’s most personal rivalries.

That confrontation has now set the stage for a major showdown. A mixed tag team match featuring AJ Lee and CM Punk against Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins is officially scheduled for the Wrestlepalooza premium live event this Saturday. Before that clash, both teams are set for a face-to-face segment on Raw to build more heat.
This return isn’t just a one-off appearance. Lee has signed a multi-year, full-time contract with WWE, guaranteeing that fans will be seeing much more of her in the months ahead.
