Roxanne Perez and a former WWE star react to AJ Lee’s return after 10 years. The wrestling daughters celebrate their ‘mom’s’ comeback on SmackDown with heartfelt social media posts.

AJ Lee made her shocking return to WWE on September 5, 2025, after being away for 10 years. The former three-time Divas Champion came back on SmackDown in Chicago to help her husband, CM Punk, in his feud with Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch. Her return sent shockwaves through the wrestling world and got huge reactions from fans and wrestlers alike.

Two of the biggest reactions came from wrestlers who consider AJ Lee and CM Punk their wrestling parents. Roxanne Perez posted a simple but strong message on social media. She wrote “MOMMYS HOME” with black heart emojis, showing her excitement about her wrestling mother’s return.

She also shared another post where she agreed that Lee’s return was “the greatest return in women’s wrestling history.” She reposted a tweet that said exactly that, but added her own comment saying it was the greatest return “in wrestling history,” not just women’s wrestling.

The other wrestling daughter, Cora Jade, who now goes by Elayna Black after being released from WWE in May 2025, also celebrated the return. She posted “All is right in the world” on her X account.

Both stars have long considered AJ Lee and CM Punk as their wrestling parents and have spoken about how much the couple has inspired their careers.

Perez has been particularly vocal about her relationship with both AJ Lee and CM Punk. She has often called herself the wrestling daughter of the famous couple and has received support from both of them throughout her career. Last month, when Perez hit her finishing move, Pop Rox, on CM Punk during a live event in Manchester, England, Lee defended her actions by saying on social media that her daughter “has never done a single thing wrong in her entire life.”

Jade has also been open about how much Lee and Punk have influenced her career. The Chicago native has previously stated that she considers both wrestlers as major inspirations. Even after being released from WWE, she continues to show support for her wrestling parents.
