# Big E Reacts To Dolph Ziggler & AJ Lee WWE Returns

AJ Lee returned to WWE for the first time since Wrestlepalooza, with Dolph Ziggler appearing on the same show and Big E sharing a throwback.

The November 17 episode of WWE Raw saw AJ Lee return, assisting Maxxine Dupri in her victory over Becky Lynch, becoming the [new Women’s Intercontinental Champion](https://wrestletalk.com/news/title-change-wwe-raw-maxxine-dupri/).

The ‘Last Time Is Now’ tournament also continued, with [Dolph Ziggler making his return](https://wrestletalk.com/news/dolph-ziggler-returns-wwe-raw/) to face Solo Sikoa.

With AJ Lee and Dolph Ziggler both appearing on the same episode of WWE Raw, Big E shared a throwback photo from their shared time together.

The photo was shared on [Twitter](https://x.com/wwebige/status/1990601158776533042) and came from the 2013 run, which saw Ziggler as World Heavyweight Champion, alongside his storyline girlfriend, AJ Lee, and their Enforcer, Big E Langston.

Big E captioned this photo:

*“The gang’s all here.”*

Big E has previously addressed the return of AJ Lee to the WWE, saying he had previously thought “[she was completely done.](https://wrestletalk.com/news/former-aj-lee-partner-addresses-wwe-return/)”

Ziggler’s return may have seen him unsuccessful against Sikoa, but Natalya has shared her hope that he [would be back](https://wrestletalk.com/news/natalya-praises-wwe-dolph-ziggler/).

With Becky Lynch in the sights of AJ Lee, the recently returned star was strongly hinted for involvement in the women’s Survivor Series WarGames match thanks to Rhea Ripley inviting her for “a chat”.
