AJ Lee’s influence on WWE remains strong, especially with her 2015 departure symbolizing the end of an important era tied to the Women’s Revolution, which she helped pave the way for. Fans continue to hope for her return, and it appears that WWE’s stance on welcoming her back has been revealed.
Despite her departure, rumors of her return have swirled, especially after she shared a photo of her old ring gear. However, AJ Lee has clarified that she remains retired, much to the disappointment of her fans.
Even then, that has not stopped fans and even WWE Superstars alike from constantly requesting her to return to the ring. In fact, several stars such as Cora Jade, Bayley and others were recently pressing AJ Lee to make her in-ring return as well.
During a live Q&A on Backstage Pass with Bill Apter and WrestleVotes, WrestleVotes was asked about WWE’s current stance on AJ Lee returning to the company. It was noted that WWE is fully supportive of the idea. He reported that if she reaches out and says, “I’m in,” WWE would immediately agree without hesitation.
“It is a question I get quite a bit. As far as I know, WWE is totally on board for it. They would welcome it. She picks up the phone and she says, ‘I’m in.’ They’re going to say, ‘Yes. What took so long?’ I would say the only two people that probably know that answer are AJ Lee and CM Punk and whatever that answer may be is up to them. So we’ll see.”
Even Eric Bischoff believes AJ Lee could return to WWE as he feels ”there is a great story there.” Therefore, we will have to wait and see whether AJ Lee will make her triumphant comeback to WWE somewhere down the line, as anything is truly possible in the world of professional wrestling.
