AJ Lee responds to fan claiming she needs to come out of retirement to help CM Punk
AJ Lee responded to a WWE fan on social media today who urged her to return to help CM Punk. The Second City Saint will be competing in a Hell in a Cell match against Drew McIntyre tomorrow night at WWE Bad Blood.
Lee is married to Punk in real life and has been referenced during her husband's rivalry with McIntyre. The Scottish Warrior recently destroyed a bracelet with her name on it to send a message to his rival.
A fan shared a hilarious video imploring Lee to return to the company because she keeps letting her husband "come out of the house looking good." The former champion responded to the fan and claimed that she was just being generous.
"Hahahaha I'm just generous like that," she wrote.
The 37-year-old was very popular during her time in WWE and is a former three-time Divas Champion. AJ Lee has not competed in a match since the March 30, 2015, edition of RAW.
WWE star reveals she pushed for a match against AJ Lee
SmackDown star Bayley recently disclosed that she pushed to face AJ Lee over a decade ago. The Role Model will be challenging Nia Jax for the WWE Women's Championship tomorrow night at Bad Blood.
In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling earlier this year, the former Damage CTRL member revealed that she pushed to battle Lee for the Divas Championship in 2013. Bayley noted that she bonded with Lee around that time, and the two stars have remained friends ever since.
"Yes. We did wrestle in 2013 for the Divas championship, which like, I wrestled for the Divas championship. That's freaking crazy, against AJ Lee. And that was really where our friendship and our bond grew from. She was so cool to me. But I think that because of the history and because we have stayed close throughout all these years, which is pretty nuts that we still text each other and hang out, I think it only makes sense. And I know that it's something that I have pushed for, so I hope one day we can make that come to life." [2:23 onwards]
