WWE Teases AJ Lee’s Return Ahead Of SmackDown
After over a decade of absence, AJ Lee made her return to WWE before the Wrestlepalooza 2025 event.
At the inaugural WWE premium live event on September 20, she teamed up with her husband, CM Punk, to take on another WWE real-life couple, Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch. Lee grabbed the big victory for her team by making The Man tap out. Following the event, fans were hoping to see The Black Widow go after Lynch and her Intercontinental Championship, but she’s been a no-show so far. However, WWE recently teased her return to TV.
Ahead of this week’s SmackDown episode, WWE shared a clip on its official Instagram page where they hinted at Lee’s return. Earlier this week, on Monday Night RAW. CM Punk confronted The Vision and Logan Paul, and Paul Heyman insulted his wife. WWE recently added the clip on social media with a caption mentioning AJ Lee. This could be a sign that WWE is preparing for her comeback on television.
WWE wrote, “@theajmendez, do us all a favor and đź‘Š these boys!”
