It has been almost a decade since AJ Lee last wrestled on WWE TV. In 2015, after a multi-woman match on the episode of RAW following WrestleMania 31, Lee retired from pro wrestling. She hasn't stepped back into the ring since then, even though she's still in good shape.

In late 2023, CM Punk made his shocking return to WWE. Since that night at Survivor Series: WarGames, fans have been clamoring for AJ Lee to return to the promotion and have one final run before finally retiring from pro wrestling for good.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
