The Black Widow appeared alongside her husband, CM Punk, to confront Becky Lynch. The Chicago crowd also saw her get some revenge on The Man. A report from BodySlam.net claims that her arrival was not just a one-off moment; she signed a multi-year contract, signaling a full-time return to WWE programming.

PWInsider has reported that Lee’s set to appear on the September 8 edition of RAW, where WWE will commence their couple rivalry against Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch. The duo will then reportedly challenge the champions in a mixed tag team match at Wrestlepalooza on September 20.

Nikki Bella Hints at Brie Bella And Paige’s WWE Return after AJ Lee’s comeback

During an interaction with fans on X (Twitter), Nikki Bella teased the possible returns of two other popular WWE stars, her twin sister Brie Bella and former Divas Champion Paige (aka Saraya). When asked if she would like to face The Geek Goddess in WWE, the WWE Hall of Famer enthusiastically responded with optimism about Brie and Paige’s comebacks. She expressed excitement about the possibility of reunion matches and fresh storylines.

A fan asked, “Would you wanna face AJ Lee again?”

“That would be so fun! We had a great and magical run! Loving 2025 so much!!! Goodness imagine if Paige and Brie showed up!” Bella responded.

The storyline involving Nikki Bella, AJ Lee, Brie Bella, and Paige is rich with history and drama. In 2014 and 2015, Nikki and Brie Bella formed a powerful sister duo, while AJ Lee and Paige, initially frenemies, created a dynamic partnership to even the odds against the Bella Twins.

This fueled some of the most engaging matches in the WWE women’s division, including a memorable tag team match at WrestleMania 31. The back-and-forth rivalry featured intense competition, mind games, and shifting alliances. Lee and Paige’s uneasy alliance gradually strengthened as they battled the formidable Bella Twins.
