Professional wrestling fans around the world have been buzzing with anticipation over the potential return of AJ Lee to WWE. The former Divas Champion, known for her dynamic presence and unique charisma in the ring, has been absent from the wrestling scene since her departure after WrestleMania 31. However, recent developments and discussions within the wrestling community suggest that a comeback could be on the horizon.
Teddy Long and Bill Apter Weigh In on AJ Lee’s Possible WWE Return
Teddy Long, a former SmackDown General Manager, expressed his eagerness to see AJ Lee make a return to WWE. Long, who had the opportunity to work with Lee before she married CM Punk, praised her personality and professionalism.
“I met her when I was there before she ever married CM Punk so I had the opportunity to work with her. What a nice person too, real nice lady and great attitude and everything. Yeah, I think it’s time for her to come back, she didn’t leave on no bad terms and they didn’t bury her before she left. So, I think right now she’d be a big asset to them.”
Bill Apter, a legendary wrestling journalist, discussed the factors that could entice AJ Lee to return. Apter believes that a compelling storyline and a favorable offer from WWE’s management, particularly from Triple H, could be key in her decision.
“I think the fans are dying for her to come back. She was great when she was in the business. We don’t know what she’ll—if she comes back she’s got to be physically and mentally ready and I don’t know her current situation or anything, I haven’t been in touch with her. I’ve talked to Punk but I think if they make a good offer and there’s a great angle, that will bring her back in.”
The Landscape of Women’s Wrestling and AJ Lee’s Legacy
AJ Lee’s last WWE appearance saw her teaming up with Naomi and Paige, now known as Saraya, against Natalya and The Bella Twins in a victorious six-woman tag team match. Her dynamic performances and ability to connect with the audience had made her a fan favorite. Lee’s potential return could significantly impact the women’s division, adding depth and bringing back a beloved character to the WWE narrative.
The Return Trend in WWE
The phenomenon of wrestlers returning to WWE is not new. Many retired professionals, including AJ Lee’s husband, CM Punk, have made successful comebacks. With CM Punk’s return last year, speculation about AJ Lee’s return has intensified. Fans and insiders alike are curious to see if she will follow in her husband’s footsteps.
As the wrestling world watches and waits, only time will tell if AJ Lee will decide to lace up her boots once more and step into the WWE ring. If the conditions are right, and the offer is enticing enough, fans might once again witness the return of one of wrestling’s most charismatic and talented performers.
