CM Punk doesn’t believe AJ Mendez (AJ Lee) will ever return to WWE, but he’d love to see his wife appear for the company again.
Lee has been away from WWE since 2015 and retired from professional wrestling, though she has worked as an executive producer and commentator for WOW – Women Of Wrestling since.
During a recent appearance on “The MMA Hour” podcast, Punk addressed a potential WWE return for Mendez. He said,
“Probably not. I think there is [an open door for Lee’s return to WWE]. Selfishly, I would love it, I’m her biggest fan. I love everything she does.”
Lee has invariably said she is unlikely to return to the ring due to the neck injury she suffered towards the end of her WWE run.
Former WWE Superstar AJ Francis (Top Dolla) will debut for House of Glory at ‘HOG The War Within’ next month on May 24 in New York City.
