AJ Lee Breaks Silence on WWE Absence, Hints at Becky Lynch Rematch – AJ Lee has addressed her absence from WWE television, putting to rest rumors that she’s sidelined due to injury. The former Divas Champion, who made her in-ring return at WWE WrestlePalooza on September 20, confirmed that her time away is simply due to another commitment.
Lee, who teamed with her husband CM Punk to defeat Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins at WrestlePalooza, hasn’t been seen in a WWE ring since making Lynch tap out to the Black Widow. Her absence led to speculation among fans that she may have been injured during or after the match. However, Lee took to social media to clarify the situation.
“On a book tour. Not injured, but I appreciate the concern. Also, thanks Becky Lynch for keeping the title warm for me. Momma will be back, soon,” Lee wrote.
Her message not only reassured fans about her health but also hinted at her intentions to challenge Becky Lynch for the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship once she returns. The line about Lynch “keeping the title warm” suggests that AJ Lee’s next chapter in WWE may involve going after the gold she helped redefine a decade ago.
Lynch is currently embroiled in a feud with Maxxine Dupri. Their most recent encounter on RAW ended in a disqualification after Lynch struck Dupri with her championship belt, allowing her to retain the title. Following that match, Lynch placed blame on referee Jessika Carr, sparking a war of words between the two on social media.
With Lee teasing her comeback and calling out Lynch directly, a high-profile showdown between the two seems increasingly likely — potentially as soon as Survivor Series.
