Friday night’s SmackDown episode featured the stunning return of AJ Lee, marking her comeback to WWE after a decade-long absence. An exclusive behind-the-scenes look, courtesy of WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H, showcased AJ Lee signing her new WWE contract immediately before her surprise entrance at the Allstate Arena. The video, with Triple H’s caption “Ink to paper… the calm before the storm,” captures Lee in a focused and emotional state, finalizing her return to the squared circle. This private moment has resonated with fans, providing an up-close view of the official return of a fan favorite. Prior to her return, AJ Lee, a three-time Divas Champion, was last seen on WWE programming in March 2015. Her return in Chicago was further fueled by a simmering feud between Becky Lynch and CM Punk. With “Light It Up” blasting through the arena, AJ Lee made her presence known, signaling the next chapter of the story heading into Wrestlepalooza. Triple H also shared backstage photos of himself, AJ Lee and CM Punk together. At Wrestlepalooza on September 20, the returning AJ Lee will team up with CM Punk in a mixed tag team match against Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch.
