AJ Lee wouldn’t have to worry about running out of opponents once she returns from WWE against Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins.
At Clash in Paris, Seth Rollins and CM Punk shared the squared circle again as the World Heavyweight Champion put the title on the line in a four-way match. This time around, it was Becky Lynch who attacked The Best in the World for the champion to retain the gold.
Following the premium live event, The Man and The Voice of the Voiceless faced off again, which saw the former deliver several slaps to the latter, and even got verbal. The former World Champion noted that she would regret ever putting her hands on him. When Punk later asked Adam Pearce where this week’s SmackDown attack would occur, and then was told Chicago, the superstar was glad.
Many fans have deduced that this series of events has pointed to AJ Lee returning to WWE, paired with rumors and botches pertaining to the same thing. However, outside the Seth Rollins, CM Punk, and Becky Lynch bubble, there are a lot more superstars that is waiting for the former Divas Champion.
#5. AJ Lee Could Meet Another “Crazy Chick”
During AJ Lee’s time as a full-time WWE Superstar, she played the role of a “crazy chick,” who would act unhinged and spontaneous during matches and her storylines, even leading to her getting into a romantic storyline with CM Punk and Bryan Danielson, among others.
These days, that role is mainly played by Liv Morgan. Although The Judgment Day star hasn’t been labeled as such, she definitely has the qualities of being spontaneous and unhinged in her quest to win the Women’s World Championship and steal Dominik Mysterio from Rhea Ripley.
With this in mind, it would be interesting to see how Morgan and Lee face off, considering their similarities in character and even in-ring style.
#4. Fan-Favorite Back Then Vs. Fan-Favorite Of Today
Many consider AJ Lee a WWE fan-favorite due to her strong and bold personality paired with her impressive in-ring skills. However, she no longer holds this position, as in today’s day and age, it’s Rhea Ripley who has got the fans rallying behind her, whether as a face or heel.
Rhea Ripley and AJ Lee have completely different styles; the former is all about brute force and strength, while the latter is about flexibility and athleticism. Both women are also gifted in the mic, making the lead-up to their match surely an interesting program to follow.

During AJ’s final match in WWE in 2015, she sported a Bayley shirt that read “I’m a Hugger.” This became just one of the many interactions both women have had throughout the years. Although they had faced before in NXT, they became close friends in real life, as seen in their frequent social media interactions.
The Role Model has even been going down an interesting path lately, with many claiming that due to her frustrations in WWE, she may be going “insane.”The Role Model’s potential new character and her personal history with Lee would surely make for an interesting feud.
#2. Roxanne Perez Calls Herself The Daughter Of AJ Lee And CM Punk
Rising WWE star Roxanne Perez is just one of the two “daughters” AJ and CM Punk have in wrestling, the other being former superstar Cora Jade. Although they have been nothing but loving in their social media interactions, with The Judgment Day member even being one of those who pushed for Lee to return, their close bond could also create an interesting clash.
Like Bayley’s, their close relationship could make a stronger chemistry for a potential feud, and not only that, Perez will definitely benefit a lot by sharing the ring with a legend like Lee. Meanwhile, AJ would also benefit from going against an active and familiar superstar after some time away.
#1. Nikki Bella And AJ Lee’s Only Time To Redo Their Fued Is Now
One of the biggest feuds Lee had in her career was against Nikki Bella. Both women were at the top of the divas division back then, and not only traded physical punches, but even had memorable promos against each other. However, it’s no secret that at the time, the women’s division wasn’t represented strongly.
This time around, the women’s division has a full set of fans to advocate and support them. With this in mind, if Lee and Bella were on the roster at the same time, it would be interesting to see how both of them would interact with each other following their heated feud, with Nikki even dethroning AJ to become the longest-reigning Divas Champion.
