WWE Requests AJ Lee’s Return Amid Absence

WWE has requested the Black Widow, AJ Lee, to return to the company.

AJ Lee returned to WWE after over a decade on the September 5 episode of WWE SmackDown in Chicago, Illinois, after CM Punk was getting outnumbered by Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch. She appeared for a couple of episodes after that, leading to a match at Wrestlepalooza on September 20.

However, since that victory where Lee made Lynch tap out, Lee has been away from the WWE Programming, raising concerns about the legendary wrestlers. Now, WWE has requested AJ Lee to return to the company on social media.

AJ Lee’s Absence from WWE TV Now Crosses a Month

Seth Rollins had to relinquish the World Heavyweight Championship following his shoulder injury at Crown Jewel Perth, during the coast-to-coast headbutt against Cody Rhodes. Now, since CM Punk was already the #1 contender for the title, he needed an opponent to face off against at the upcoming Saturday Night’s Main Event. To determine this opponent, GM Adam Pearce announced a 20-man Battle-Royal on the October 20 edition of RAW, which was won by Jey Uso in a debatable manner.

Now, during this match, CM Punk himself was sitting on the commentary table, taking a close look at the ongoing match. When LA Knight was beating Jimmy Uso in the middle of the ring, SmackDown commentator Wade Barrett questioned something to Punk.

Barrett: Are your loins tingling Punk?

Punk: Loins? (Joe Tessitore: Please tell me no, please tell me no.)

Barrett: Well mine certainly are!

Punk: Mine aren’t.. Speaking of tinglig loins, what do you call the new tag team champions? Is it the tag team of AJ Lee. That tingles my loins!

Barrett: That’s really good.

Following this interaction between Punk and Barrett on the live commentary table highlights the light side of professional wrestling, often overshadowed by the brutal and heated side. It would be interesting to see when Lee returns and who she challenges after she’s back in the company
