AJ Lee made an unforeseen return to WWE last week on SmackDown, instantly shaking up the wrestling world. Becky Lynch Reacts to AJ Lee‘s comeback with visible shock and unease during the dramatic showdown, which reignited tensions on the show.
The segment began when CM Punk confronted Becky Lynch, asserting he would not strike a woman but hinted that someone else would. This moment was interrupted when AJ Lee’s entrance music played, and she stormed into the ring to confront Lynch, leading to an unexpected attack on The Man. WWE later released a split-screen clip highlighting Lynch’s stunned and frightened reaction to Lee’s aggressive move.
Analyzing Vince Russo’s Take on AJ Lee’s Return Strategy
AJ Lee’s reappearance prompted widespread discussions within the WWE community. For many years, fans eagerly anticipated the former Divas Champion’s return, making her comeback a significant event. Wrestling analyst Vince Russo recently shared his perspective on the situation during an appearance on BroDown with host Mac Davis.
Russo suggested that the decision to bring AJ Lee back was primarily a strategic ploy by Triple H to generate excitement among the audience. While acknowledging that Lee’s presence brings an enthusiastic pop from the crowd, he expressed doubts about the longevity of her WWE run, drawing parallels with Nikki Bella’s underwhelming return.
“I don’t know what you don’t understand. He (Triple H) is the king of pops. It’s another pop. I mean, seriously, that’s why AJ Lee is here. It’s another pop. I don’t think it’s gonna be long-term. I mean, I don’t. If it is long-term, look at what happened to Nikki Bella. Nothing, zero. The same, exact thing will happen with AJ Lee if she remains on the roster.”
His comments underline a concern that Lee’s presence might only serve as a temporary boost rather than a lasting addition to the roster.
Implications for WWE Storylines and Future Appearances
The return of AJ Lee adds a complicated new dynamic to ongoing storylines, especially the feud involving CM Punk, Seth Rollins, and Becky Lynch. With Lee’s sudden interference, fans are left anticipating how her role will influence upcoming matches and rivalries.
Although her surprise entrance excited many, the atmosphere remains tense as viewers and insiders speculate whether Lee’s comeback will be fleeting or evolve into a sustained chapter in WWE programming. The uncertain future of AJ Lee’s presence in the company echoes past instances where returning wrestlers failed to find long-term momentum, raising questions about what lies ahead.
