Michael Cole is one of the best WWE commentators when it comes to both play-by-play commentary and foreshadowing something. This time, the 56-year-old may have subtly confirmed the comeback of a former three-time Divas Champion.
Moreover, the hint he dropped has only added to the speculation that AJ Lee will return soon.
Michael Cole namedropped AJ Lee
WWE is careful not to mention released superstars unless the company is giving its flowers to legends or plans to bring someone back. Addressing the crowd at the kickoff show for RAW on Netflix, Michael Cole namedropped AJ Lee while inviting CM Punk to the stage.

“Ladies and gentlemen. Please welcome The Second City Saint, one of the most controversial man in all of sports entertainment, and the husband of AJ Lee. Ladies and gentlemen, CM Punk,” said Cole.
Hence, the fans could soon see the return of Black Widow to the Stamord-based promotion after nine long years. Moreover, since Cole paired Punk with her, they could also fight side-by-side in some matches.
CM Punk had also mentioned AJ Lee during his feud with Drew McIntyre
CM Punk and Drew McIntyre had a highly physical and bloody feud. After their final confrontation in a Hell in a Cell match at Bad Blood, The Straight Edge Superstar mentioned he would finally see his wife after five weeks.
This was when Punk had even stopped addressing Seth Rollins, who was still actively in a feud with him. With RAW moving to Netflix, WWE has promised big plans for the future, and a comeback by the three-time Divas Champion would be a big moment.
The WWE Universe has been waiting for Lee eagerly
CM Punk received one of the most grand welcomes when he returned to WWE at the 2023 Survivor Series. While the conversation had become about him, fans also wanted to know if his return would be followed by AJ’s comeback as well.
A litmus test for this showed the crowd was very eager to have her back when just the mention of her name received a huge pop.
The Second City Saint noted that Lee is very busy right now. As an author and mental health advocate, Punk said her schedule is jam-packed. He revealed that she would love to wrestle again once the Black Widow can make room for more things.
With Michael Cole namedropping her, it could be possible that she has finally found the break she needed to make a return. It would be interesting to see if AJ Lee returns to WWE.
