"We can dream" - Fans pushing for AJ Lee to return to cost 7-time champion at WWE Money in the Bank

WWE fans have been hoping to see AJ Lee return to the company for years now. The veteran is married to CM Punk in real life and has been referenced by another major WWE Superstar in recent weeks.

CM Punk cost Drew McIntyre his opportunity to become World Heavyweight Champion by interfering in his match against Damian Priest at WWE Clash at the Castle last month in Scotland. McIntyre responded with a brutal attack on the former AEW star and stole his bracelet on an episode of SmackDown in Chicago. Punk's bracelet has AJ Lee and Larry's (Punk's dog) names on it.

McIntyre has worn the bracelet ever since taking it and qualified for the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder match last night on RAW. JM Playground on Instagram asked fans if they want to see AJ Lee return to the company today.

Most fans stated that they wanted to see her return, with many hoping she costs Drew McIntyre at Money in the Bank this weekend.

Fans react to the idea of AJ Lee returning to the company.

Drew McIntyre has vowed to win the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder match this Saturday and then cash in to become World Heavyweight Champion on the same night.
