Retired star to make WWE return after 9-year hiatus and crash Women’s WarGames match? Potential Survivor Series surprise explored

The Women's WarGames match at Survivor Series will see Team Ripley (Rhea, IYO SKY, Naomi, and the Women's Tag Team Champions Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill) take on Team Morgan (Liv, Raquel Rodriguez, Tiffany Stratton, Candice LeRae and Nia Jax). This match is rumored to main event the show along with The Bloodline WarGames match, which will see The OG Bloodline face The New Bloodline.

When it comes to the Women's WarGames Match, we expect a tough battle that has become quite personal recently. Rhea Ripley, Bianca Belair, and Jade Cargill have unfinished business with Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez, while Naomi will go after Nia Jax and Tiffany Stratton. Apart from the battle inside the steel cage, a surprise return could affect the match's outcome and create new storylines. And this could be is AJ Lee.

The former Divas Champion retired from WWE in 2015 following her husband CM Punk's departure. Nine years later, the Best in the World has returned to WWE, and there has been speculation that AJ Lee will follow him and return to the business.

AJ Lee could return in the same way CM Punk came back, and she could show up after the match and stare down the Women's WarGames Match participants. It is also important to say that her husband returned to WWE at the same PLE (Survivor Series) exactly a year ago.

CM Punk addresses the possibility of AJ Lee making a WWE return at Survivor Series

AJ Lee could stun the WWE Universe and return at Survivor Series. She could make a surprise appearance and start making regular appearances going forward.

In an appearance on Cheap Heat, The Best in the World said he expects a loud ovation when his wife would be back to WWE.

"She 100% supersedes me. That’s the fun thing about wrestling fans. They look for stuff that necessarily isn’t there. That’s kind of the fun of it. Everyone is talking about, ‘Who is going to main event WrestleMania?’ ‘Who is going to enter the Royal Rumble?’ ‘Who is going to comeback?’ They are always looking around this time of year for big returns. I had mine last year, I think hers would be bigger than mine," CM Punk said. [h/t Fightful]

Heading into Survivor Series and the WarGames Match, WWE could hint at AJ Lee's return, which would create a lot of buzz if it happened.
