AJ Lee (real name: April Jeanette Mendez) is a retired professional wrestler, author, and mental health advocate best known for her time in WWE. Here’s an overview of her life and career
The WWE Universe is buzzing with speculation after the electrifying end of Clash in Paris, where an unexpected twist in the main event has fans wondering if AJ Lee is finally gearing up for a return to the ring.
Seth Rollins Left Alone in the Main Event
The night’s biggest shocker came during the World Heavyweight Championship clash. With Paul Heyman nowhere in sight and Braun Breaker and Bronson Reed already out of the arena, it seemed like Seth Rollins was left to defend his title completely on his own.
Fans were glued to their screens as it looked like CM Punk was on the verge of recapturing the championship in dramatic fashion.
Becky Lynch’s Stunning Interference
Just when Punk seemed set for victory, chaos unfolded. A masked woman stormed the ring and took Punk down, stunning the entire crowd. Moments later, the mystery figure revealed herself — it was none other than Becky Lynch, Rollins’ real-life wife.
The move shocked fans worldwide and raised one burning question: Could this be setting the stage for Punk’s wife, AJ Lee, to step back into WWE after nearly ten years away?
Reports Hint at AJ Lee’s Possible Return
According to Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp (via Fightful Select), AJ Lee’s name has been mentioned several times in recent creative discussions within WWE.
In the past, proposals for Lee’s return were quickly dismissed. But this time, insiders claim the reactions have been “different” — hinting that WWE might be more open than ever to bringing her back.
A Decade Away from the Ring May Not Matter
It’s been almost a decade since AJ Lee last wrestled in WWE, but according to one senior company official quoted by Sapp, that gap isn’t seen as a major hurdle. The belief is that if Lee wants to return, she still has what it takes to captivate fans and reestablish herself as a top name in the women’s division.
This makes her potential comeback feel closer than it has ever been since her retirement.
What’s Next for AJ Lee and WWE?
While nothing has been officially confirmed, fans are buzzing with theories. Could WWE be setting up a storyline where Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins stand against CM Punk and AJ Lee in a dream mixed-tag rivalry?
The possibilities are endless, and with the crowd already reacting passionately to the Paris showdown, the timing seems perfect for WWE to pull the trigger on one of the most talked-about returns in years.
Fans Await the Big Reveal
For now, the WWE Universe can only wait and speculate. AJ Lee’s return has been rumored countless times before, but this latest development feels different. Whether or not she steps back inside the squared circle, fans remain hopeful that Clash in Paris may have just opened the door to one of wrestling’s most anticipated comebacks.
