AJ Lee is back, and she dedicated her return to a special group.
AJ made her long-awaited, yet surprising debut, on Friday night’s episode of WWE SmackDown. There, she came to the rescue of her husband, CM Punk, who had just finished getting repeatedly slapped in the face by Becky Lynch.
Punk teased making calls to some of his friends in WWE for backup, noting that he would never hit a lady. However, he cautioned, he knew someone who would do it for him, which brought AJ to the ring. AJ attacked Becky, who ended the night being carried backstage by her husband (and longstanding CM Punk hater) Seth Rollins.
AJ has remained silent about her return to WWE, until now. On Monday, AJ Lee broke her silence posting a message on Twitter/X. There, she dedicated her next run to her fans, who she affectionately called her “wonderful weirdos.”
“You’ve had my back for a decade,” AJ Lee wrote on Twitter/X. “This run is for you, my wonderful weirdos.”
AJ Lee has signed a new contract with WWE. It is rumored that she will team with CM Punk against Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins in a tag team match at WWE Wrestlepalooza Premium Live Event on Saturday, September 20. In anticipation of that event, AJ Lee is currently advertised to appear on tonight’s episode of WWE Raw in Milwaukee.
AJ Lee initially retired from in-ring competition in 2015 and left the wrestling business completely. Her last match was a March 30, 2015 tag team match on WWE RAW. The match saw AJ, Naomi and Paige (Saraya) defeat the team of Natalya and The Bella Twins.
