The possibility of AJ Lee’s return to WWE has captivated fans, sparking intense speculation and excitement. With CM Punk’s recent reappearance in WWE, many are hopeful that his presence might encourage AJ Lee to make a comeback. The wrestling community is buzzing with the idea of seeing the former WWE Divas Champion back in the ring, especially after NXT Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez expressed her desire to wrestle Lee.
Perez and Punk: Advocates for AJ Lee’s Return
Roxanne Perez, a rising star in WWE, has openly shared her hopes of wrestling AJ Lee. In an interview with Pro Wrestling Illustrated, Perez revealed that she occasionally hints at Lee’s potential return. Interestingly, she noted that CM Punk, AJ Lee’s husband and a prominent WWE figure, is also keen on her comeback. Perez stated:
“Definitely, yeah, I try to talk to CM Punk about convincing AJ Lee to return, but he tells me that he’s doing the same thing. He’s trying to get her to come back, he’s pulling her in, but I hope one day she decides to come back and have a match with me.”
This shared ambition between Perez and Punk has intensified speculation among fans, who are eager to see Lee back in action. However, despite the enthusiasm, the ultimate decision lies with AJ Lee herself.
CM Punk’s Supportive Stance
CM Punk has been consistently supportive of his wife’s choices regarding her career. During a post-show press conference at Money In The Bank, Punk was questioned about the likelihood of AJ Lee’s return. While expressing his support, Punk highlighted that the decision to return to wrestling is entirely up to Lee. He mentioned that while he would love to see her back, the choice rests solely with her, indicating that fans should not get their hopes too high without confirmation from Lee herself.
The Ongoing Buzz Around AJ Lee
Despite not being a regular on any major wrestling roster, AJ Lee has kept busy with various entertainment projects, including her work on the television series “Heels.” Her absence from the wrestling scene hasn’t diminished fan interest, and the possibility of her return continues to be a hot topic. Some speculate that recent WWE storylines, particularly involving Drew McIntyre, could be laying the groundwork for Lee’s comeback, should she express interest.
A Waiting Game for WWE Fans
The anticipation surrounding AJ Lee’s potential return is palpable, yet it remains a waiting game. WWE appears to be keeping options open, possibly crafting storylines that could accommodate her return. However, until AJ Lee herself decides to step back into the ring, fans will have to remain patient.
The allure of seeing AJ Lee return to WWE alongside CM Punk adds an exciting dynamic to the current wrestling landscape. While the hope is alive, the reality hinges on Lee’s personal choice, making every update on the situation eagerly awaited by fans and wrestling enthusiasts alike.
