“Phil just confirmed that April is coming back on Saturday,” “OMG AJ Lee is coming,” – WWE fans react to CM Punk’s massive AJ Lee return tease

CM Punk has seemingly teased his wife AJ Lee’s return at Royal Rumble. WWE fans have clearly expressed their anticipation for the potential comeback.

Lee has been retired for nearly a decade after leaving the Stamford-based company in 2015. Despite her husband’s comeback, she remained focused on her career outside the wrestling business. However, Punk recently dropped a massive tease about her comeback in a backstage video with Jackie Redmond when she asked him who he wanted to see show up in this year’s Women’s Royal Rumble. The Best in the World stated that he had a “big one” in mind but could not say who to avoid getting in trouble.

Fans quickly picked up on the apparent hint as they commented on Redmond’s Instagram video. Some even perceived it as a confirmation of Lee’s return this Saturday.

“OMG AJ LEE IS COMING!!!” A fan wrote.

“Phil just confirmed that April is coming back on Saturday,” another fan commented.

“PUNK KNOWS SOMETHING WE DON’T 👀,” one fan said.

“So, we are getting AJ Lee back,” another fan wrote.

“Punk was skipping around that question a little too much 👀,” a third fan added.

Veteran addressed odds of AJ Lee returning to WWE at Royal Rumble
