Speculation about former WWE Divas Champion AJ Lee making a return to the WWE has been buzzing after her husband CM Punk’s surprising comeback at Survivor Series 2023. However, recent updates shed light on the current status of AJ Lee’s potential return to WWE.
Rumors initially suggested that discussions about AJ Lee’s return were underway, especially following CM Punk’s re-entry into WWE’s fold. These rumors gained traction on social media platforms, fueling excitement among fans. However, reports later indicated that several WWE superstars mentioned her name during the Royal Rumble, but these speculations never materialized.
AJ Lee’s name resurfaced during WWE programming. This notably happened at the WrestleMania 40 Kick-Off. CM Punk, serving as a panelist, was humorously introduced as AJ Lee’s husband by Michael Cole.
Despite these acknowledgements, SEScoops reports that there have been no recent discussions within WWE about bringing AJ back to the promotion. A “tenured” WWE source mentioned that while AJ is well-liked and respected, her return is not currently a topic of discussion.
Lee’s absence from WWE and in-ring competition has spanned nearly a decade. Her last match took place on the March 30, 2015 episode of WWE RAW.
