AJ Lee’s Next WWE Match Revealed

AJ Lee returned to WWE in September 2025 after nearly a decade away.

She wrestled her return match at Wrestlepalooza on September 20, 2025, teaming with her husband, CM Punk, in a mixed tag team bout against Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins. She forced Lynch to submit, securing the victory for her team.

The Geek Goddess then competed in the women’s WarGames match at Survivor Series on November 29, 2025. She was on the babyface team opposing a heel squad that included Becky Lynch. She again forced Lynch to submit, helping her side win the match.

According to WrestleVotes, Lee’s next match will take place in 2026. During a live Q&A, it was revealed that she will be a part of the women’s Royal Rumble match at the Royal Rumble Premium Live Event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on January 31.

AJ Lee Is Not Under A Full Time WWE Contract

AJ Lee signed a new contract with WWE after she returned to the company. The contract signing was shown in a backstage video that also featured Triple H. It was said that the former Divas Champion had signed a full-time contract with the company.

However, Sean Ross Sapp on Fightful’s post-RAW show recently confirmed that AJ Lee is not signed to WWE full time. Her deal allows her to make appearances now and then, but she’s not obligated to wrestle or make appearances every week.

So AJ Lee will come and go. When I saw people posting right after her return saying, ‘Oh, she’s back and it’s full time,’ I was like, ‘Hold on, partner, before we giddy up here.’ That’s not what I was hearing.

As you can see, there hasn’t been anything close to a full-time return yet. She showed up for a couple of weeks, did the WarGames build, and now she’s gone again. [H/T: Ringside News]
