Fans want to see AJ Lee return like CM Punk

CM Punk's AEW debut was a company-defining moment. There are many exciting possibilities that lie ahead for The Voice of the Voiceless. But some fans seem excited over AJ Lee potentially returning to the ring herself.

The former WWE Divas Champion has not wrestled since 2015, retiring just after WrestleMania 31. Despite her exit from the business and her success as an author, Lee remains one of the most popular female wrestlers in history. She would improve any women's division she is a part of - be it in AEW or WWE.

WWE SmackDown Superstar and a close friend of AJ Lee's, Big E believes there's a place for her in WWE. He feels that if she returns, she could potentially work the Brock Lesnar schedule, which is part-time. It would fit her star power even after so many years, just like how CM Punk is as over as ever.
