Massive Update On AJ Lee’s WWE Future Following Imminent Return
AJ Lee’s return has been confirmed.
The former WWE Divas Champion is returning to the ring for the first time since 2015 at Wrestlepalooza on September 21st, 2025.
Fans had begun speculating about her return ever since Becky Lynch got involved in the main event of Clash in Paris and cost CM Punk the World Heavyweight Championship.
WWE has significant plans for AJ Lee following her return
Recently, reports had stated that pitches regarding Lee were being met with more traction. This was already an indication that her return isn’t a one-off affair.
Now, Fightful Select has noted that the global juggernaut is expecting to work with her in more angles and directions, and Wrestlepalooza isn’t going to be a one-off affair for AJ Lee.
We were told this isn’t necessarily a one-off, and that WWE hopes that they can do more with her, but even if that’s it, they’re happy to have her involved again.
There are many staff and talent who spoke to us about Lee, and said that they hadn’t spoken to her or seen her since she left, but that she maintained very pleasant exchanges with them over the years. There were a number of women’s wrestlers specifically who grew up on AJ Lee who were very excited. One veteran that actually never got to work with AJ said that they were shocked it happened, because CM Punk would usually dismiss when he would be needled about it, but they felt like that was more of him being respectful and supportive of whatever his wife wanted.

On the latest episode of WWE RAW, Becky Lynch humiliated CM Punk by slapping him, which fuelled the rumours of AJ Lee’s return even further.
While the exact details of her return are pondered over, it is almost a definite that she will be challenging for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship at Wrestlepalooza.
