AJ Lee return tease fuels speculation for SmackDown in Chicago this Friday
AJ Lee’s WWE comeback tease heats up ahead of SmackDown in Chicago, fueling fan speculation and rival talk.
AJ Lee Return Teased Ahead of SmackDown
During WWE's Clash in Paris, Becky Lynch helped Seth Rollins retain the World Heavyweight Championship in a fatal four-way. Lynch low blows CM Punk, sparking talk that AJ Lee could return to even the odds against Rollins and Lynch.
A Raw promo segment then pointed to a potential Lee appearance on SmackDown in Chicago this Friday. CM Punk, speaking in a promo with Lynch, warned that Lynch might regret putting her hands on him. Fans chanted for Lee during the moment, signaling strong interest in a comeback. Lee last wrestled in 2015, and a return would mark a major shift in WWE storytelling. The SmackDown show in Rosemont also features John Cena, adding to the event’s high energy.
Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins remain champions, while plans for a Lee return remain unconfirmed. If true, the move would reconfirm WWE’s habit of blending nostalgia with live action to drive audience engagement.

Editorial note on WWE’s strategy
WWE is leaning into nostalgia to boost Friday night viewership, using a familiar name to heighten the current Punk–Lynch tension. A potential AJ Lee appearance could recalibrate alliances and create fresh dynamics for the top tier of the roster.
Yet there is a risk in chasing fan excitement through unconfirmed returns. If Lee does not appear, public anticipation could fade and affect credibility. The balance between crowd-pleasing history and ongoing, current storytelling will test how WWE manages long-running narratives with new moments.
Highlights
- Classic, always chanting for a dope that doesn’t work here!
- CM Punk might be up to something
- Punk warned Lynch that she is going to regret putting her hands on him.

Public reaction risk around AJ Lee return tease
A possible comeback depends on crowd response and ongoing storyline dynamics. If plans shift, fans may feel disappointed and that could affect future angles and negotiations.
The next moves will test how nostalgia meets live storytelling.
