Former WWE Divas Champion AJ Lee recently took to social media to confirm her upcoming appearance amid rumors of her return to the Stamford-based promotion. The 37-year-old hasn't stepped inside the squared circle since 2015.
Since CM Punk's return to World Wrestling Entertainment at Survivor Series: WarGames 2023, many people believe his wife, AJ Lee, might eventually come back to the company as well. Rumors of Lee's return are at an all-time high at the moment due to Punk's rivalry with Seth Rollins.
On last week's edition of RAW, the two arch-rivals were involved in a war of words. During the segment, both stars took several personal shots at each other and brought their wives into the heated exchange as well. Following this segment, rumors suggest that a possible match could take place between Becky Lynch and AJ Lee if the latter returns to the Stamford-based promotion.
Amid these rumors, the former WWE Divas Champion recently took to her Instagram Stories to confirm her upcoming appearance at the Big Event EXS. In her story, AJ sent a message, hyping up her appearance.
"I heard you East Coast! Coming to NY so soon!" she wrote.

Wrestling veteran wants to see a "mixed couples" match if AJ Lee returns to WWE
During a recent edition of Sportskeeda Wrestling's UnSKripted, wrestling veteran Hugo Savinovich said that CM Punk and Seth Rollins' rivalry could involve their wives as well.
Savinovich also mentioned that the company could book a trilogy between Punk and Rollins, which could end in "a mixed couples" match if Lee returned to WWE.
"That if you could, we already stated about Punk and AJ (Lee), and we use the same philosophy, and then you bring The Man in, and that forces AJ to come in, then you could have two matches and have that happen on the 2nd match's finish and have the trilogy end with a mixed couples."
It will be interesting to see if the Triple H-led creative team has planned anything for AJ Lee's WWE return.
