Pro-wrestler April Jeanette Mendez, better known by her ring name AJ Lee, made her highly anticipated return to WWE after more than 10 years.
The 38-year-old star appeared on SmackDown in Chicago on Friday, September 5, where she stood ringside to support her husband, CM Punk, in his confrontation with Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch.
Her comeback has already fueled speculation of a mixed tag team showdown at Wrestlepalozaa on September 20, potentially featuring AJ Lee & CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins & Becky Lynch.
