AJ Lee hasn’t wrestled since 2015, but plenty of people have made it clear that they’re hoping to see the former Divas Champion return to the ring someday. CM Punk made his return to WWE in 2023, and since then a number of current WWE stars have asked Punk about a potential return for AJ Lee.
While speaking with The Wrestling Classic, Naomi was asked if she wants to see AJ Lee return someday, and she joked that she can’t retire from professional wrestling until AJ returns.
“Of course. I be harassing her husband [CM Punk] about that all the time. I told him, I said, ‘You need to tell her I can’t retire until she comes back.’ Girl, you need to come on because mama’s back is hurting. I can’t retire until she comes back. I’m so for real, and she knows it.”
“It’s crazy. For her to be gone over a decade and to still be missed and to still be wanted so bad, I think speak volumes and just tells you what she did for women’s wrestling and who she was. So I think it’d be a treat, a present, a reward for all of us, having her come back, even if it’s just a ‘hey and bye,’ a quick little [appearance]. We starving, sis [laughs].”
So far AJ Lee has given no indication that she plans to return in the future, but when it comes to professional wrestling you can never say never.
