AJ Lee and CM Punk remain two of WWE’s most talked-about names, despite AJ Lee’s decade-long break from the wrestling ring. CM Punk’s fiery presence in recent WWE events keeps fans on their toes, while whispers about AJ Lee’s return have suddenly sparked fresh excitement. Recent events involving both of them have WWE insiders quietly buzzing—could the long wait for Lee’s comeback finally be ending?

Just when you thought WWE drama had peaked, a low blow in Paris sent the rumor mill into overdrive—and AJ Lee's name into the spotlight once again. 

The WWE Clash in Paris shook the wrestling world when Becky Lynch, wife of Seth Rollins, shocked spectators by delivering a low blow to CM Punk. That interference helped Rollins retain his World Heavyweight Championship but set off wild speculation backstage. Adding fuel to the fire, Punk caught sight of a fan’s “Punk bring back AJ Lee” sign, a subtle wink that hinted the WWE powers that be might actually bring AJ Lee back into the spotlight alongside her husband.  

CM Punk was electric in Paris, battling Seth Rollins, Jey Uso, and LA Knight in a fierce fatal four-way. Just as victory seemed within reach, a freshly surfaced from hot waters with Ozzy Osbourne, Lynch’s surprise interference changed the course of the match. Fans and insiders alike began connecting dots, imagining a sizzling storyline where AJ Lee would reunite with her husband, Punk, in a mixed tag team clash against Rollins and Lynch. WWE is reportedly more open to this idea than ever.

If comebacks were an Olympic sport, AJ Lee’s potential return would be going for gold, which is only proof that absence definitely makes the heart—and WWE audience—grow fonder. 

AJ Lee’s WWE career was a whirlwind of memorable moments—from her Divas Championship win at WrestleMania 30 to teaming with Paige for stunning victories. Although Lee retired in 2015 due to permanent neck injury risks, her essence never left the fans or the business. Her influence lingered through occasional appearances and her role behind the scenes, keeping alive the hope of her eventual in-ring return.

While AJ Lee has long said a full-time comeback is unlikely because of her injury, recent reports indicate WWE is seeing more pitches for her return than ever before. With her maintained fitness and CM Punk’s successful comeback paving the way, WWE insiders are hopeful. If she steps back into the ring, it would be a nostalgic yet electric moment for the company—one that fans worldwide have been dreaming about for years.
