3 Signs AJ Lee is Returning on WWE RAW at MSG

Former WWE Divas Champion AJ Lee returned to the Stamford-based promotion earlier this year and competed in her returning bout, a mixed tag team match teaming with her husband, CM Punk, taking on Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch at Wrestlepalooza 2025.

Since then, Lee hasn’t been seen on television, and there is no update regarding her comeback as of now. However, her return is inevitable, given that she has signed a new contract with the promotion.

In this article, we will examine three signs that AJ Lee is returning on the upcoming RAW at MSG.

#3. Becky Lynch needs competition

Becky Lynch is the reigning WWE Intercontinental Champion and is all set to defend her title against Maxxine Dupri on the red brand show tonight. She is the odd favorite to win the bout and retain her title.

Suppose it does happen and Lynch retains her championship; she would need a worthy challenger. In a shocking turn of events, after The Man defeats The Alpha Academy member, AJ Lee could return and continue her feud with Big Time Becks.

#2. WWE mistakenly leaked a surprise

While there is no official update on AJ Lee’s return, a few days ago, a screenshot from Netflix went viral. It showcased AJ on RAW’s promotion banner on the site, which subtly confirmed that she could return at MSG.

The promotion quickly realized that they might have ruined the surprise and changed the banner later.

#1. Joining Team Rhea Ripley

WWE is currently building the final PLE of the year, the Survivor Series: WarGames 2025 Premium Live Event. Fans are highly anticipating the event, especially the traditional WarGames matches.

Rhea Ripley’s team still needs two members; AJ Lee could reportedly return and join the babyface team for WarGames as a surprise entrant. This would be a perfect moment for the fans.

That said, the angles proposed above are speculative, and nothing is officially confirmed. It remains to be seen whether Lee returns on the flagship show or not. Only time will tell.
