The WWE Universe has witnessed a set of legendary returns this year. Booker T returned to action at the Men's Royal Rumble. A week later, Lita appeared to eventually team up with Becky Lynch. Another memorable wrestler from the Ruthless Aggression Era is believed to return to the ring soon, namely AJ Lee.
The three-time Divas Champion wrestled her last match on March 30, 2015, where she teamed with Paige (aka Saraya) and Naomi (aka Trinity) to defeat Natalya and The Bella Twins. She later joined the Women of Wrestling promotion as a color commentator in September 2022.
AJ Lee has had an incredible physical transformation in the past few years, which she made public in her latest Instagram post. Captioned 'bulking,' the image shows her to be more muscular than her time in the Diva's division in WWE. Many fans were struck by the thought of a potential wrestling return by the real-life April Brooks.
Given that her husband is the star attraction of the Collision show, there's a chance that CM Punk and AJ Lee will reunite on All Elite Wrestling. She stated that her wrestling exit was due to severe injury issues but could end up playing a managerial role. Unfortunately, a WWE return is out of the question due to some problems with the company.

WWE legend AJ Lee spoke about a return to pro-wrestling
Last year, Britt Baker urged AJ Lee to come out of retirement during an exclusive with Sportskeeda. She wanted to have a one-on-one with the veteran. Similar challenges have been left pending for several years.
During an interview with MMA Uncaged, AJ Lee spoke about an in-ring return before joining the commentary table in the Women of Wrestling. She hasn't ruled it out but wants to take things slow.
"I’ve loved training in all kinds of training. So I’ve definitely gone to train, and it’s fun, but all of the bugs of wrestling and all those things, there’s definitely many people in my ear trying to get me to do things. We’re gonna take it slow. We’re gonna start with WOW," said AJ.
Besides being a former WWE Superstar and commentator, AJ is an author. Her autobiography, Crazy is My Superpower, became a New York Times Best Seller in 2017.
