When CM Punk returned to wrestling in 2021, fans immediately began suggesting that it could lead to his wife, AJ Lee, also making a comeback to the ring. Yet, while there have been occasional teases of this on social media over the years, during an interview with Ariel Helwani, Punk played down her potential return, telling the journalist, when asked directly, “Probably not.”
However, after Becky Lynch became involved in her husband, Seth Rollins’ long-running rivalry with Punk, that speculation has resurfaced. And now, seemingly confirming what most fans anticipated, WWEShop.com’s official X account has revealed in a since-deleted tweet that they are working on getting new AJ Lee merchandise ready for her Wrestlepalooza return.
38-year-old Lee hasn’t wrestled since 2015 due to damage to her vertebrae, with her last match being a six-women tag match on Raw the night after WrestleMania 31. Still, she has previously revealed that her body is physically healed enough to compete again, but at the time added that she doesn’t think the challenge was there and instead wanted the next generation to have the spotlight for themselves.
