AJ Lee is one of the most prominent names in the world of pro wrestling. It has been almost a decade since she disappeared from the wrestling scene and fans have been clamoring for her return. It looks like the former Divas Champion may have subtly given away her status amid talks of a comeback.

During an interview with Screen Rant, Lee talked about her cameo in the Michael Cera-led film, Sacramento. She was asked about what inspired her role in the movie and how she connects it to her real life. Drawing parallels to it, the former WWE Superstar stated that it relates to her transition from being a retired athlete to embracing a new chapter of life.

The fact that AJ Lee addressed herself as a “retired athlete” in the interview seems to indicate that she acknowledged being done with pro wrestling. The former Divas Champion emphasized the fact that some transitions can blossom into beautiful things, implying her jump from being a wrestler to adopting new roles.

Hence, Lee may have subtly confirmed her status in the interview, indicating that she may never return to the squared circle as the former WWE Superstar has indulged in several other ventures in her life.

Possibility of AJ Lee returning to WWE

AJ Lee was one of the most decorated superstars in WWE and played a key role in the women’s revolution. Although fans have been clamoring for her return, she has implicitly denied the prospect of it on several occasions. However, when it comes to WWE, there’s a popular saying, “Never Say Never.”

There’s a possibility that the former Divas Champion could return to WWE someday and have a final run in the Stamford-based promotion. A major reason why it seems plausible is because CM Punk is currently in the promotion and Punk’s presence could be the catalyst for her comeback.

Moreover, WWE’s women’s division has evolved and there are several dream matches and feuds that AJ Lee could have with the new faces. The changing landscape of WWE could prompt her to lace up her boots once again. Furthermore, the 37-year-old star does not have any bad blood with the company.

As a result, the doors are always open for her to grace the wrestling ring with her presence in the Stamford-based promotion. Hence, the possibility of AJ Lee returning to WWE at some point is good.
