The wrestling world is abuzz with speculation as reports emerge regarding WWE’s openness to welcoming back AJ Lee (AJ Mendez) should she express the desire to return. Since her departure from the ring in 2015, fans have eagerly awaited any indication of a possible return for the former Divas Champion, who left an indelible mark with her dynamic in-ring skills and charismatic presence.
According to WrestleVotes, during a Backstage Pass Q&A, WWE holds the door wide open for AJ Lee’s potential comeback. “As far as I know, WWE is totally on board for it. They would welcome it. She picks up the phone and she says, ‘I’m in’, they’re going to say, ‘Yes. What took so long?’ I would say the only two people that probably know that answer are AJ Lee and CM Punk and whatever that answer may be is up to them,” WrestleVotes, stated, as transcribed by Cultaholic.
AJ Lee retired at Raw following WrestleMania 31 in March 2015, ending a prolific WWE career that saw her capture multiple championships and become one of the most beloved figures in the women’s division. Since stepping away from the squared circle, Lee has continued her involvement in wrestling behind the scenes. Her role as an executive producer and color commentator for WOW – Women of Wrestling from October 2021 to August 2023 showcases her enduring connection to the sport.
Beyond wrestling, AJ Lee has also embraced her passion for storytelling through writing. She is currently developing her own comic book series titled “Day of the Dead Girl,” with the first issue launching on October 9. This creative endeavor highlights her multifaceted talents and ability to engage audiences across different mediums.
Intriguingly, it was also reported earlier this year that AJ’s husband, CM Punk, had been encouraging her to contemplate a return to professional wrestling. This development adds another layer to the possibility of seeing AJ back in the ring, sparking further anticipation among her fanbase.
If AJ Lee were to decide to return to WWE, it would not only thrill fans but also present exciting opportunities for fresh storylines and rivalries within the women’s division. Her return could serve as an inspiring chapter for the current roster of female talent, as many of whom cite AJ as an influential figure in their careers.
As the wrestling community speculates about AJ Lee’s future, the prospect of her return continues to generate excitement and nostalgia. Whether she chooses to reclaim her place in the ring or pursue new projects, her impact on the wrestling world remains profound, and fans eagerly await any developments regarding her next steps.
