Since CM Punks shocking return to WWE at Survivor Series 2023, fans have been wondering if his wife, former WWE star AJ Lee, would follow suit and make her own return to the company. However, nearly a year has passed, and there has been no sign of the three-time Divas Champion stepping back into the ring.
Lee has remained out of the wrestling spotlight since her retirement in March 2015, but according to former WCW executive Eric Bischoff, the door is still wide open for her return. Speaking on a recent episode of his 83 Weeks podcast, Bischoff shared his thoughts on the potential for Lee to rejoin WWE, particularly in a storyline alongside her husband, CM Punk.
While the idea of an AJ Lee return excites fans, CM Punk has been more reserved on the matter. Over the past year, Punk has downplayed the idea of his wife returning to in-ring action, making it clear that the decision lies solely with her. Punk has avoided stoking fan expectations, emphasizing that AJ will only return if she feels ready and interested in doing so.
Since her retirement, AJ Lee has focused on her writing career. Her autobiography, Crazy Is My Superpower: How I Triumphed By Breaking Bones, Breaking Hearts, and Breaking the Rules, became a New York Times Bestseller, showcasing her success outside the ring.
With Bischoffs recent comments and Punks continued presence in WWE, the idea of AJ Lee returning is still alive in fans minds. Whether or not Lee will lace up her boots again remains to be seen, but the wrestling world is undoubtedly ready for it.
