At the Clash in Paris event, Seth Rollins defended the World Heavyweight Championship in a fatal 4 way match against CM Punk, LA Knight, and Jey Uso. At the end of the match, Punk was closing in on snatching a victory and winning back the World Heavyweight title. But Rollins' wife, Becky Lynch, interfered and helped her husband to retain the title.
Instantly, the fans broke into theories that WWE might have been planning to bring AJ Lee back, who was one of the top Stars for the Divas Era of WWE and also the wife of CM Punk. Last week, SmackDown took place in Chicago, and the World Heavyweight Championship segment, including Becky Lynch, was also booked for the event, which made it clearer.
Dolph Ziggler thinks WWE brought back AJ Lee to cater older fans
In the main event segment, Becky Lynch and CM Punk had a confrontation where Lynch even slapped Punk, but Punk refused to hit a woman and brought in AJ Lee. Former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Dolph Ziggler recently talked about Lee's return to WWE, and he claimed that WWE brought her back to cater to the older fans. Speaking on the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, he said;
AJ Lee returned to WWE on SmackDown last Friday
“If you’re somewhat our age and you listen to the show, which is a lot of people, you know the story, you know the lore, you know the AJ, you’re probably doing the chants at home. If you’re someone who has joined the WWE fanbase in the last ten years, you do not know who AJ is.
AJ will feud with Becky Lynch
“You do not know what she did the years before that. You’re like ‘Someone from ten years ago that was somebody’s girlfriend at the time, how does that matter?’ So remember, there’s going to be a huge fan base out there that aren’t the sickos, the smart marks, and the 45 year olds who know all that lore. They’re gonna be like, ‘Oh, my God, are you kidding me? This is obviously set up to be that way.'”
Pwinsider suggests that Punk and AJ Lee will challenge Rollins and Becky Lynch in a mixed tag team match at the upcoming WWE premium live event Wrestlepalooza. After SmackDown went off the air last Friday, AJ also celebrated with the Women's Intercontinental Championship, making things clear that she is going to challenge for the title soon.
