Overview

  • F4WOnline reporting relayed by Bleacher Report says AJ Lee is expected to return in the coming weeks, with some speculation focused on Friday’s SmackDown in Chicago or Wrestlepalooza on September 20.
  • Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp reports the planned involvement is not necessarily a one-off and that WWE hopes to do more with her if she returns.
  • Naomi, currently on maternity leave, posted on X that she would “crash out” if AJ Lee returns while she is out, echoing her past desire for a one‑on‑one match with Lee.
  • Dolph Ziggler told the Busted Open Podcast the storyline appears set up for AJ Lee, though he cautioned that an appearance this week could be soon even with the Chicago setting.
  • Speculation intensified after Becky Lynch’s interference against CM Punk at Clash in Paris drew loud AJ chants; Lee has not appeared on WWE programming since March 30, 2015.
