Backstage Update on AJ Lee's Status With WWE
AJ Lee's current WWE run appears to have reached its natural conclusion, at least for the foreseeable future.
WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select reports that a WWE source has indicated Lee's creative at the moment is effectively done. There is internal hope that she will return for future programs and matches down the line, with SummerSlam mentioned as a potential event she could appear for. Nothing beyond that has been mapped out.
Lee returned to WWE in September 2025 and quickly became one of the more compelling additions to the women's division. She joined CM Punk in a rivalry against Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch before pivoting to a standalone program with Lynch for the Women's Intercontinental Championship.
Lee defeated Lynch at Elimination Chamber to win her first singles WWE title in over a decade, then defended the championship against Lynch again at WrestleMania 42 on Night One.
The WrestleMania match marked her first appearance at the show since WrestleMania 31, giving her run a meaningful bookend. Whether she returns again will depend on what creative directions emerge and what Lee herself is open to pursuing.
