It appears the recent teases of AJ Lee returning to WWE are true.
Fightful Select reports that WWE is planning for AJ Lee to wrestle again at WrestlePalooza, with her TV return happening very soon. It was noted that WWE has had several pitches for AJ Lee, who’s set to have her first match in ten years. It was noted that AJ Lee’s return isn’t necessarily a one-off deal. WWE is hoping to do more with AJ Lee,
“WWE is planning an AJ Lee return to the ring at WrestlePalooza, and a return on-screen imminently. It was heavily implied by WWE sources that AJ would be appearing or referenced on this week’s Smackdown, which seems like a forgone conclusion at this point. We were told this isn’t necessarily a one-off, and that WWE hopes that they can do more with her, but even if that’s it, they’re happy to have her involved again. There are many staff and talent who spoke to us about Lee, and said that they hadn’t spoken to her or seen her since she left, but that she maintained very pleasant exchanges with them over the years. There were a number of women’s wrestlers specifically who grew up on AJ Lee who were very excited. One veteran that actually never got to work with AJ said that they were shocked it happened, because CM Punk would usually dismiss when he would be needled about it, but they felt like that was more of him being respectful and supportive of whatever his wife wanted.”
WWE WrestlePalooza will also go head-to-head with AEW All Out the same evening. Stay tuned to Prowrestlenew.com for more information as it becomes available.
