Ever since CM Punk came back to the WWE, fans have anticipated his wife AJ Lee possibly joining him on the ride. Despite there being no such strong confirmation available on whether the former WWE Star is thinking of coming out of retirement, the aspect of seeing her inside the squared circle has been discussed big-time in recent times.
There’s no doubt about AJ Lee’s success story in WWE being truly remarkable who is often credited to play a pivotal role in kick-starting WWE Women’s Revolution. She left pro wrestling back in 2015 immediately after WrestleMania 31 following a short three-year tenure in the main roster of the company. This aspect of her career keeps the fans anticipating about seeing her back for one final long run.

Recently, AJ Lee sparked in-ring return rumors after posting recent photos with her old ring gear. However, she then made it clear that she is still retired. During an appearance on the MMA Hour, CM Punk was asked about her wife possibly returning to the squared circle. Punk kept it short and expressed uncertainty around it while also keeping the chances alive.
“Probably not,” Punk answered after getting the question about AJ Lee’s comeback.
“Is that her [statement/mindset]? I’m sure there’s an open door, right?” Helwani replied.
“I think there is [an open door], yeah. Selfishly, I would love it,” CM Punk said. “But I’m her biggest fan, so I love everything she does.”

WWE is not discussing AJ Lee’s comeback at this point
A rumor was going around suggesting that ‘despite ongoing efforts from WWE, AJ Lee wants a memorable return run rather than a one-time appearance.’ Upon investigating this topic, Sescoops reported that this was false information.
The source reached out to ask if there were any internal talks of bringing AJ Lee back into the fold. They were told that there is no talk in that direction which keeps her wrestling return uncertain. A tenured member within the company further noted the following,
“She’s very well liked, and respected. Just not a topic at the moment.”
Previously while talking to the WWE After the Bell podcast, Bayley talked about one of the women superstars who has massively influenced her, and that someone was AJ Lee. The former Divas Champion made her realize she could be herself and not try to be someone she’s not. There are also names like Cora Jade who’s inspired by the pioneer talent.
