CM Punk’s loss at WWE Clash in Paris premium live event is sparking major buzz — and it’s all because of Becky Lynch and the possibility of AJ Lee. In the World Heavyweight Title main event, Punk looked ready to dethrone Seth Rollins until Lynch stepped in, hitting Punk with a low blow that allowed her husband to retain the championship. That shocking moment instantly got fans talking, not just about the finish, but about a potential AJ Lee comeback.
Earlier in the match, Rollins was heard telling Punk he hated him and his “stupid family,” which only fueled speculation. After the loss, Punk grabbed a fan’s sign reading “Bring Back AJ Lee,” and commentary even brought it up, adding fuel to the fire.
Reports from Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp reveal that AJ Lee’s name has been pitched multiple times in recent WWE creative meetings, with journalist Jon Alba confirming the same. While Lee hasn’t shown much interest in returning since her 2015 retirement, momentum behind the idea is reportedly stronger than ever.
“WWE sources have indicated that AJ Lee’s name has been brought up in numerous pitches internally of late. We can’t confirm an AJ Lee return is a go, but sources in WWE said there has been more traction on it of late than in previous years.”
