AJ Lee WWE Return Spoiled by WWE Shop – AJ Lee continues to dominate headlines as speculation about her WWE return intensifies following recent developments on RAW and backstage reports pointing to Wrestlepalooza as the likely stage for her comeback.
The buzz began after Becky Lynch interfered in the Clash in Paris main event, helping Seth Rollins retain the World Heavyweight Championship against CM Punk, LA Knight, and Jey Uso. On the September 1 episode of RAW in Paris, Lynch escalated matters by confronting Punk face-to-face, delivering a flurry of shoves and slaps. Punk’s sharp verbal response only added fuel to the fire, planting seeds for AJ Lee’s long-rumored involvement in the ongoing storyline.
Fans immediately began fantasy-booking a mixed tag team showdown featuring Rollins and Lynch against Punk and AJ Lee, and now multiple reports suggest that this idea may become a reality at Wrestlepalooza on September 20.
In a surprising twist, WWE Shop may have inadvertently spoiled the news. When asked by YouTuber Wrestling Daze if AJ Lee merchandise would be available for SmackDown, the official WWE Shop account replied: “With AJ Lee’s return to the ring, we are looking to have some fire gear hopefully in time for Wrestlepalooza.” The tweet was deleted shortly after, but screenshots quickly circulated across social media.
Fightful Select has since reported that WWE sources strongly hinted AJ Lee will appear on SmackDown in some capacity — either as a full return or as part of a major tease leading to her comeback. While no official confirmation has been made, the outlet also noted that the company wants her run to be more than a one-off appearance.
Adding to the speculation, CM Punk posted a cryptic Instagram story featuring a devil cartoon with the words: “Okay… you asked for it.” The move has fans convinced that his wife’s in-ring return is imminent.
Lee, a three-time Divas Champion, has not competed in WWE since 2015. If reports are accurate, her return would mark one of the most anticipated comebacks in recent WWE history.
