Ten Years Later: Is a Wrestling Icon Making a Comeback?
It’s difficult to think that AJ Lee hasn’t graced a WWE ring in almost a decade. Since then, the former Divas Champion has grown to be adored in the annals of wrestling culture, her influence felt by both fans and wrestlers. There has been much conjecture over AJ Lee’s potential return to WWE since her husband, CM Punk, made a stunning comeback to the company at Survivor Series last year.
From CM Punk’s Perspective: Assistance Without Demand
In a recent interview, CM Punk discussed his opinions on his wife’s potential comeback to professional wrestling with “Sports Illustrated Media.” Punk made it apparent that although he would want to see AJ Lee return to the ring, he respects her independence and does not wish to have any say in the matter.
Punk emphasized, “You cannot possibly push my wife in any direction she does not want to go.” “I get asked this question every time I’m interviewed, but it doesn’t bother me since I love AJ Lee just as much as your niece and all of her adoring followers do. She served as an inspiration to a whole generation of female wrestlers, many of whom I believe are now making their way through NXT and even some who are currently on the independent circuit. I would do cartwheels if she returned as a fan, but I can’t force her to do anything because that’s not how our relationship works.”
The Influence of AJ Lee’s Legacy on a New Generation
There is no denying AJ Lee’s influence on women’s wrestling. Her captivating personality and skill in the ring raised the bar for female WWE performers.

Punk recognized this heritage, emphasizing how Lee’s impact may be seen in the current generation of female wrestlers. “She inspired an entire generation of female wrestlers,” Punk stated. “And I think you’re seeing a lot of them come through NXT, now there’s even some that are on the indies.”
The Need to Go Back vs. Real-Life Duties
When Punk was asked if Lee ever has the want to get back into professional wrestling after seeing him on “WWE Raw,” he was open about the difficulties. He clarified that her other writing and media commitments would make it challenging for her to participate on a full-time schedule, even if she did feel the need to return.
“She has so many other writing and media commitments that it would be difficult for her to compete or appear on a full-time schedule,” Punk stated. Lee has achieved success outside of the professional wrestling arena, as seen by her hectic schedule of writing and other media endeavors.
