On yesterday's AEW show, CM Punk thanked all those who have supported him for seven years after his appearance, and especially thanked his wife, former WWE Girl Champion AJ Lee. Probably due to the copyright of the ring name, CM Punk directly called out her AJ Lee's real name: April in the AEW ring.
AJ Lee: "I didn't think I'd hear someone calling me by my real name on TV tonight." ”
So the question is, CM Punk, once known as the "Iron Rooster", has returned to the wrestling world, will AJ Lee also return to the ring? Will we return to WWE one day in the future?
It all started in 2015. In 2015, AJ Lee left WWE, and she left WWE for many reasons, on the one hand, the tension with WWE, on the other hand, the injuries she accumulated over the years!
Foreign media "Wrestling Observer" once reported that AJ Lee chose to retire in order to terminate the contract with WWE. Because CM Punk left WWE that year, something unfriendly happened with WWE, which also made it inevitable that AJ Lee would be implicated.
At the same time, when AJ Lee retired, she posted on Twitter denouncing WWE's treatment of female wrestlers, accusing WWE of not paying any attention to the safety and mental condition of the players.
Therefore, AJ Lee's accumulated injuries in the ring are also one of the main reasons for her retirement, knowing that she suffers from severe cervical spine problems, such injuries are bound to greatly shorten her wrestling career.
Sportskeeda Wrestling consulted AJ Lee's friend Big E and asked big E if he thought AJ Lee was back at WWE again. Big E said:
"I think as long as she wants to, then she will definitely come back. She could even have a tournament schedule similar to Brock Lesner's, playing a few games a year. So as long as she wants to, she can decide where she wants to go. ”
In an interview earlier, AJ Lee was also asked many times whether she wanted to return to the ring, but she herself said that she enjoyed her current writing career, and bluntly said that writers and wrestlers can't have both, she still wants to be a writer more...
However, if AJ Lee decides to make a comeback, WWE may not be her first choice, and she may choose to join AEW with her husband CM Punk. However, as far as the current development is concerned, AEW does not seem to have plans to arrange AJ Lee's comeback, so we may not see AJ in the ring of AEW in a short period of time.
Maybe one day in the future, we will be able to see AJ Lee comeback in the ring of AEW, maybe not as a wrestler, but just as a guest, I believe it will also attract a lot of attention. And only time will tell if she will return to wrestling again...
