Okay, so I kept seeing stuff pop up online, you know, whispers and comments, asking that same question: is AJ Lee returning to WWE? As someone who watched her back in the day, it definitely got my attention. I figured, okay, let’s actually dig into this myself and see what’s what, instead of just reading headlines.

My Process Trying to Find Out
First thing I did was just jump onto my usual search engine. I typed in a few things, like “AJ Lee WWE return,” “AJ Lee comeback,” and even added the current year to see if there was anything fresh. Lots of results came back, naturally.
Then, I started sifting through them. My next step was to specifically check out some of those wrestling news blogs and sites I kind of trust – the ones that usually get scoops or at least report things reasonably accurately. I spent a good chunk of time reading through their latest posts about AJ Lee.
After that, I dipped into some fan forums and even checked social media trends. You know how it is, sometimes the real buzz, or lack thereof, is in the fan discussions. I searched for recent mentions of her name linked with WWE.
Finally, I tried looking for anything official. Did WWE mention her? Did AJ herself post anything on her known accounts hinting at a return? Or maybe her husband, CM Punk, dropped a hint?
What I Actually Found
Here’s the breakdown of what my little investigation turned up:
- Lots of Speculation: Seriously, tons of people are talking about it. Especially since CM Punk came back, everyone’s thinking, “Maybe AJ too?” It makes sense why people are hopeful.
- No Solid Proof: This was the main thing. Despite all the chatter, I couldn’t find one credible source confirming a return is happening. No official announcements, no reliable insider reports that felt concrete. It’s mostly “what ifs” and fan hopes.
- Focus Elsewhere: Most reliable sources reminded me she’s involved with WOW – Women of Wrestling as an executive producer. Plus, she’s been busy with her writing. Seems like her focus has been outside the WWE ring for a while.
- Past Injuries Mentioned: Some articles brought up her previous neck injury, which was a big part of why she retired in the first place. That’s always a factor to consider.
So, yeah, the reality I found is that it’s mostly rumors swirling around, likely fueled by CM Punk’s return. People are connecting dots that might not actually be connected.
My takeaway? Right now, there’s nothing solid pointing to AJ Lee actually returning to a WWE ring. It’s fun to speculate, and hey, never say never in wrestling, right? But based on what I could find through my own looking around, it seems like it’s just talk for now. We just gotta wait and see if anything official ever comes out, rather than getting hyped over rumors.
