CM Punk opened up about his wife AJ Lees WWE comeback and revealed that even if she wasnt physically able to wrestle again, the company was ready to welcome her back in another role.
In an interview with ESPN to promote Wrestlepalooza, Punk said WWE made it clear that AJ didnt need to be an in-ring competitor to have a spot in the company.
AJ Lee walked away from WWE back in 2015, citing both injuries and the sense that she had already accomplished her goals in the business. During her absence, she became an accomplished author and a strong voice in mental health advocacy, keeping her distance from pro wrestling for nearly a decade.
Her long-awaited return finally came on the September 5 episode of SmackDown after weeks of teases. And now, at Wrestlepalooza, AJ Lee will wrestle her first match in over ten years when she teams with CM Punk against Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch in a blockbuster mixed tag team showdown.
AJ Lees comeback is already one of the most talked-about moments in WWE this year, and pairing her with Punk against another wrestling power couple adds even more heat to the story. Fans are eager to see how she performs after so long away from the ring and what this could mean for her future in WWE beyond tonights match.
AJ Lee is officially back in WWE, and her return at Wrestlepalooza will have fans glued to their screens.
