Becky Lynch Is Not The Only One Who Should Be Worried About AJ Lee's WWE Return

Becky Lynch took things a bit too far on RAW this week when she laid hands on CM Punk. However, she is not the only female WWE star to do so in the past few weeks. During the company’s live shows across Europe, Roxanne Perez attacked CM Punk when he got involved in Judgment Day feuds.

Now, Roxanne Perez is someone who shares a similar physique to AJ Lee, someone she idolised throughout her wrestling career. Perez and Punk were often seen sharing friendly posts backstage at varied events. Not only that, he would often advise her on the industry and in-ring capacities. Punk even dubbed her and former WWE Star Cora Jade as the power couple’s ‘wrestling daughters’.

After the attack on CM Punk at the live show in Manchester, Roxanne Perez shared a cheeky message on social media for AJ Lee, which she acknowledged. Perez hit Punk with the Pop Rox at two live events, which could indicate a feud between her and Lee is on the horizon.

Roxanne Perez Is A Likely Name Next on AJ Lee’s List Of WWE Feuds in 2025

AJ Lee is already on the path to a mixed tag team match with CM Punk against Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins at Wrestlepalooza. Following this, a shot at the Women’s Intercontinental Championship is imminent. Lee even teased it after SmackDown went off-air. She picked up the IC title Becky Lynch abandoned in the ring as she desperately made her escape.

However, once Becky Lynch is in the rearview mirror, AJ Lee has no shortage of opponents, from new and old ones. Given Roxanne Perez’s recent attitude towards CM Punk, a feud between the two is inevitable. Roxanne Perez became a heel when she made her main roster debut earlier this year. Additionally, she needs to be cautious about AJ Lee targeting her next, especially when she attacked her husband at the live events last month.

On top of that, Roxanne Perez and AJ Lee have been in a feud in the making ever since the young star set foot in NXT. Lee’s a veteran of the game, and Perez has grasped in-depth knowledge and experience within her short span on the main roster. Their history and bond could boil down to an intense rivalry before 2025 ends.
