Event Context
The Fatal 4-Way match between CM Punk and Seth Rollins appeared to conclude with Punk as the victor. However, the dynamic shifted when Rollins’ wife, Becky Lynch, intervened, ultimately aiding Rollins in his victory over Punk.
Match Outlook
Recent events have ignited rumors about the potential return of AJ Lee, CM Punk’s wife, to WWE as she seeks retribution against Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch. A fan was spotted during the broadcast holding a sign urging for AJ Lee’s comeback. Notably, Seth Rollins reacted by intensely glaring at the poster, hinting at the possibility of a storyline connection involving AJ Lee and the two prominent wrestlers.
Amidst the buzz surrounding AJ Lee’s potential return, WWE reporter Sean Ross Sapp from FightfulSelect revealed that the idea has been frequently discussed in internal pitches. “AJ Lee has indeed been mentioned in several internal discussions within WWE,” he noted.
AJ Lee, whose real name is April Jeanette Mendez, retired from professional wrestling in WWE on April 3, 2015, shortly after WrestleMania 31.
Additionally, during the Clash In Paris event, a fan’s sign read: “CM Punk, bring back AJ Lee,” catching significant attention. Rollins approached the audience and visibly expressed disapproval by shaking his head at the sign, suggesting that a narrative involving AJ Lee, Becky Lynch, CM Punk, and Seth Rollins could be forthcoming.
As of now, WWE has not provided any official statement regarding AJ Lee’s return.
