Chicago witnessed another major return this past Friday!
After multiple teases, reports, and speculations, former Divas Champion AJ Lee made her WWE return after ten long years. Lee made her return during the September 5 episode of Friday Night SmackDown, which aired live from the Allstate Arena in Chicago, Illinois, USA.
Lee returned during the ongoing feud between her husband, CM Punk and Seth Rollins, which was joined by Rollins’ wife and Women’s IC Champion Becky Lynch. The Women’s IC Champion continued berating Punk on SmackDown and again started slapping and shoving him around.
However, Punk followed on his promise from this Monday and reminded Becky that it’s Chicago, and he can call in a favor to help him deal with Becky.
Punk then said that he wouldn’t put his hands on a lady, but thankfully, he had someone who would. Lee then appeared amid massive pop from fans, taking down Lynch and delivering the slap to exact revenge on behalf of her husband.
Following SmackDown, many fans are speculating about Lee’s next WWE appearance and their next move against Rollins and Lynch.
