WWE higher ups’ reported thoughts on a potential return of AJ Lee ahead of the Royal Rumble event have been revealed.
Ever since CM Punk made his return to WWE at Survivor Series in 2023, fans have been speculating about a potential return for his wife AJ Lee, specifically in the Royal Rumble match.
Punk recently added fuel to the fire, when he teased that AJ could appear in the Women’s Royal Rumble match on Saturday night, and we now have an update on the thoughts of WWE higher ups on a potential return.
Per Fightful Select (subscription required), those that Fightful have spoken to claim that they haven’t heard about a return, but obviously it would be kept extremely close to the vest.
Numerous talent across both AEW and WWE have made jokes about pulling AJ Lee out of retirement, but had never been a situation that it would actually be a reality.
On AJ, one WWE higher up said that ‘she always looks like she’d fit right back on TV, and I’m sure she’s aware that if she decided she wanted to be in the Royal Rumble tomorrow, that could happen.’
In regards to Punk’s comments about referencing her as a surprise and saying he’d get in trouble, it was noted that the higher up believed he intended to mean that he would jokingly get in trouble with AJ for mentioning her.
AJ has appeared on Heels during her time away from wrestling, with those that worked on the show saying she ‘crushed it’ in the ring.
