CM Punk Addresses AJ Lee’s Potential WWE Return

One big thing: CM Punk isn’t pushing for AJ Lee’s WWE comeback

CM Punk, speaking at the 2024 San Diego Comic-Con, addressed speculation about his wife AJ Lee’s potential return to WWE, emphasizing he’s not the one to make that decision.

• Punk stated he’s “not pushing her to do anything”
• He acknowledged Lee is aware of her options
• Any return would need to be discussed directly between Lee and WWE officials

Why it matters

AJ Lee was a pivotal figure in kickstarting WWE’s Women’s Revolution before retiring in 2015. Her potential return has been a topic of fan speculation, especially after Punk’s own WWE comeback.

By the numbers

• Lee retired in 2015 after WrestleMania 31
• She held the Divas Championship for a record 295 days

What they’re saying

Punk on a potential AJ Lee return:
“If the right situation presented itself, it would have to be a discussion between her and certain people. I don’t necessarily want to be in the middle of that just because it could get kind of weird.”

The big picture

While Punk would personally enjoy appearing on television with his wife again, he prefers to stay out of any potential negotiations. This stance respects Lee’s autonomy in making career decisions while avoiding any complications that might arise from his involvement.

What’s next

Fans and wrestlers alike, including rising star Roxanne Perez, continue to hope for AJ Lee’s return to the ring. However, as of now, Lee remains retired with no concrete plans for a comeback.
