Cora Jade Actively Working to Bring AJ Lee Back for WWE Return

AJ Lee’s impact on WWE is still significant, with her 2015 departure marking the close of an era that contributed to the Women’s Revolution she helped inspire. Fans have long hoped for her comeback, and now Cora Jade has confirmed that she is actively working to bring AJ Lee back to WWE.

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.

During an interview with Scott Fishman of TV Insider, Cora Jade discussed her wish to bring AJ Lee back to wrestling. She mentioned her ongoing efforts to encourage Lee’s return, even teaming up with Roxanne Perez to nudge CM Punk about it. Jade hinted that if Lee ever returns, fans would have her to thank.

“I don’t know. I hope so. I’m working on it. Me and Roxy are always badgering [Punk] about it. I know he is doing it to her as well, so we’ll see. If it happens, you’ll have to thank me.”

Jade’s admiration for AJ Lee has been evident throughout her career, and both she and NXT Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez have acknowledged Lee as a major inspiration. Fans have affectionately nicknamed Jade and Perez the “daughters” of Lee and CM Punk, a title that the wrestling icons have playfully embraced.

WrestleVotes previously reported that WWE is fully supportive of having AJ Lee return to the company. Time will tell if AJ Lee will make a triumphant return to WWE, as anything is possible in the ever-unpredictable world of professional wrestling.
