AJ Lee is back in WWE!
After almost a decade, former Divas Champion AJ Lee finally returned to WWE. Arriving as CM Punk’s savior against Becky Lynch, Lee returned on the September 5th episode of SmackDown.
Soon, reports emerged that Lee might sign a multi-year contract with the promotion. Later, it was also noted by PWInsider that Lee is set to appear on this week’s Raw to set up her match with CM Punk against Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch at WrestlePalooza.
Lee and Punk are rumored to team up and face the duo of Rollins and Lynch. The WrestlePalooza match card on September 20th is also confirmed to host Brock Lesnar vs John Cena.
AEW Personality Was All Excited For AJ Lee’s WWE Return
I was a fan of her work. I thought she did a great job. She’s always in good shape, she learned well. So, it’s a new star, that’s not a new star, but a star that certainly has built up anticipation for her return. She’s got that brain of CM Punk access, which is a good thing. But she’s a star that’s got name identity, and who she’s married to didn’t hurt nothing. She’s a unique character, unique facial expressions, unique body English. She’s athletic.”
I’m a little bit surprised that she’s jumping back in the game, but not totally. I’m not shocked. It makes sense to me. So, I wish her well. Good girl. Pleasant. I’m all pulling for her. I hope she does a great job. It never hurts for the business to get somebody back that has been a star. We’ll see where it takes us. I’m pulling for her. Anything new and significant is a good thing for pro wrestling.”
