Naomi wants AJ Lee to return to WWE, she harasses CM Punk about it all the time
In February, during an interview with The Wrestling Classic, Naomi admitted that she has been playfully pressuring CM Punk about AJ Lee returning to WWE. “Of course [I want to see AJ Lee come back to wrestling in WWE]. I be harassing her husband [CM Punk] about that all the time. And 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 my whole back is hurting… I can’t retire until she comes back. I am so for real and she knows it.”
She also also highlighted AJ Lee’s lasting influence on women’s wrestling. Despite being away for more than a decade. “I mean, it’s crazy for her to be gone for over a decade and still be missed and to still be wanted so bad. I think it speaks volumes and just tells you what she did for women’s wrestling and who she was. I think we will all be… It will be a treat, a present, a reward, for all of us having her come back. Even if it’s just a, ‘Girl, hey bye.’ And a quick little… We just… Umm… We… We starving sis.”
