AJ Lee’s return has opened the doors to many dream matches.

WWE pulled off the ultimate shocker with the return of AJ Lee on SmackDown this week. The Black Widow came back to the Sports Entertainment Juggernaut after retiring from in-ring competition ten years ago. She returned to side with her husband, CM Punk, in his feud with Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins.

Apart from that, AJ Lee has also signed a WWE contract, which means that there are multiple matches ahead of her. Here are the top five dream matches that can now happen after Lee made her thunderous return.

5. Rhea Ripley

AJ Lee has shared the ring with large opponents during her first tenure in WWE. Now that she is back, Lee could find herself in the crosshairs of the Mami, Rhea Ripley. Should that happen, it could prove to be a formidable challenge for the former WWE Divas Champion to go up against The Eradicator.

Liv Morgan can be seen as very similar to AJ Lee. From their physical stature to romancing top stars and attaining major titles and accolades, Morgan and Lee have had identical journeys. With The Black Widow returning to WWE, the time for their epic battle could be perfect in the ring.

3. Nikki Bella

Nikki Bella was the same woman who dethroned AJ Lee for the WWE Divas title in 2014. The duo was a part of the same era of female stars who paved the way for future generations. Moreover, both superstars are now a part of the active roster, which could set the stage for a dream showdown between them.

2. Becky Lynch

The first woman AJ Lee targeted upon her return to WWE was Becky Lynch. The Man got involved in her husband, Seth Rollins’s rivalry with CM Punk, who, brought an equalizer in the form of his wife, AJ Lee. Amidst this feud, the WWE Universe could a singles showdown between Lynch and Lee in an epic clash of two pioneers of women’s wrestling.

Roxanne Perez has been very vocal about AJ Lee being a huge inspiration for her wrestling career, even to the point of calling Lee her wrestling mother.
