AJ Lee’s most memorable WWE moments: AJ Lee has officially returned to WWE after being away for 10 years. She came back on the September 5 episode of SmackDown in Chicago, where she joined her husband, CM Punk. They faced off against Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch, another married couple in WWE.
As AJ Lee returned and entered the ring after 10 long years, she attacked Becky Lynch, making the Women’s Intercontinental Champion run away. Her return is linked to Punk’s ongoing rivalry with Rollins, which has heated up since Rollins used his Money in the Bank contract to win the World Heavyweight Championship from Punk at SummerSlam. After Lynch interfered at Clash in Paris to help Rollins keep the title, Punk hinted that something big was coming, and that surprise turned out to be AJ Lee.
AJ Lee was one of WWE’s top stars in the early 2010s, known for her wild character, sharp promos, and her signature skipping entrance. She has won the Divas Championship three times, matching the record for most titles. She retired in 2015 after WrestleMania 31 due to injuries, later focusing on writing and producing, including working on Women of Wrestling.
