WWE fans were ecstatic with the recent return of AJ Lee, who made her highly anticipated comeback on the September 5 episode of “WWE SmackDown.” CM Punk, Lee’s real-life husband, was visibly excited, sharing this special moment with her. During an appearance on “Sam Roberts’ Show,” Punk emphasized that the spotlight belonged entirely to Lee upon her return. “When people ask me what are the top moments of my career or life, that’s where those intersect, 100%. I don’t put her on a pedestal, she came that way. She’s on a pedestal for a reason,” he stated. Punk reflected on the significance of the moment, highlighting that it showcased Lee returning to the success she built over her previous 12 years in WWE.
In her earlier career, AJ Lee achieved remarkable feats, including three reigns as Divas Champion and two Slammy awards for Divas of the Year. Her influence extended beyond the ring, inspiring countless young fans, some of whom have transitioned into WWE superstars themselves.
Since her return, AJ Lee has participated in two matches. The first was a victorious outing with Punk against Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins at Wrestlepalooza. Most recently, she was part of a winning team in a Women’s WarGames match at WWE Survivor Series, joining forces with Rhea Ripley, IYO SKY, Alexa Bliss, and Charlotte Flair. However, details regarding her third match remain yet to be announced.
As AJ Lee continues to make waves in the wrestling world, fans are eager to see what she will accomplish next, further igniting excitement for her presence in the ring.
