The heated rivalry between Seth Rollins and CM Punk is set to culminate in the squared circle when they clash at the WWE RAW premiere on Netflix. This week on RAW, The Visionary and the Best in the World exchanged personal jabs in what many believe to be one of the best endings to the red brand in 2024.

Amid this, speculation has risen about AJ Lee making her long-awaited WWE return after 117 months to assist CM Punk in defeating Seth Rollins. Lee’s last appearance in the Stamford-based promotion was on March 30, 2015. Since then, she has not competed in any match in WWE or elsewhere.

However, with CM Punk's return, there is anticipation that fans might see Lee under Triple H's regime. The belief that AJ could interfere in the RAW Netflix premiere stems from an indirect reference to the former champion during the recent heated exchange. Seth Rollins took a personal shot at the Second City Saint, referencing how Becky Lynch is on a break to care for their child. However, he added that Punk wouldn’t know anything about that.

A top AEW star just called one of his colleagues 'spoiled' and 'narcissistic' HERE.

Rollins’ mockery targeted Punk and Lee for not having children, making the verbal attack deeply personal. This angle could serve as an excellent opportunity for WWE to bring AJ Lee back. Fueled by frustration and the desire to avenge Rollins’ insults, she could return, potentially appearing at RAW's Netflix debut to cost Rollins the match and help her husband secure a victory.

A moment like this would undoubtedly ignite an explosive reaction from the live crowd, as it has been years since Lee last stood in front of WWE fans.


AJ Lee's return on WWE RAW Netflix could result in a massive dream showdown

If AJ Lee were to return to World Wrestling Entertainment during the RAW Netflix premiere, it could set the stage for a massive dream tag team bout in the company. The former Divas Champion aiding her husband could lead to Becky Lynch making her return to support Seth Rollins in this rivalry.

The Visionary has already confirmed on RAW that his wife is currently on a break from the company. This suggests that Lynch will eventually return to Triple H’s creative regime.

With Lee and Lynch aligning with their respective spouses, fans could witness an epic mixed tag team match featuring AJ Lee and CM Punk taking on Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch. However, this scenario hinges on Lee’s return to the Stamford-based promotion.
