CM Punk has named two AEW female talent who could be great opponents for his wife AJ Lee.
AJ Lee hasn’t wrestled since the Raw after WrestleMania 31, where she teamed with Paige and Naomi to take on The Bella Twins and Natalya. The three-time Divas Champion later revealed that a severe neck injury led to her retiring from the sport.
Although AJ is no longer a competitor, her husband CM Punk continues to thrill fans in AEW, where he is the current World Champion. He’s recently opened up about who he thinks could be perfect opponents for his wife if she did return for one last go around.
CM Punk recently spoke with Skewed and Reviewed’s Gareth Von Kallenbach at San Diego Comic-Con regarding AJ Lee being a fan of AEW TBS Champion Jade Cargill and Dr Britt Baker, D.M.D. The AEW champion believes they are the two women who could potentially lure AJ out of retirement:
“Sometimes she’ll be like, ‘Tell me when the girls are on. She’s a big fan of Jade [Cargill]. I think women like Jade and Britt [Baker] especially, if she’s ever going to want to wrestle, I think they’re the ones that can draw her in based on looks and ability and the work.”
AJ Lee, now going by her real name of AJ Mendez, joined Women Of Wrestling as an Executive Producer in October 2021. It was announced that AJ would also provide color commentary for the promotion’s weekly programming.
Meanwhile, CM Punk is still recovering from his severe foot injury. The latest update on this developing story is that he’s “re-learning” how to walk.
