AJ Lee Opens Up On Decision To Return To WWE

AJ Lee has opened up on her decision to return to WWE after 10 years away ahead of her in-ring return at Wrestlepalooza.

After over 10 years away, AJ Lee made her return to WWE on the September 5 episode of SmackDown in Chicago, aligning with her husband CM Punk against Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch.

Speaking to ESPN’s Sports Center ahead of the match, AJ opened up on her decision to return to the company after 10 years away.

She said:

“It’s been something that was in the air for the last couple of years as an option, however when I retired I felt very comfortable staying retired, and I felt very complete in my career. I’ve always said to embark on a new journey it has to feel brand new, it has to feel like I’m needed, it has to feel exciting and kind of scary, and so starting this new chapter on ESPN feels like a whole new mountain the company needs to climb, and I was flattered that they believed I could help draw eyeballs in that way.

“But also Becky is very interesting to me. I think that she’s wonderful in the ring and we have a lot of similarities. And she would not be an easy person to get back in the ring with. So that was exciting.”
