AJ Lee made her return to WWE after more than a decade later of her retirement. She had been one of the biggest names of WWE during the Divas Era of the promotion. She had been a three times Divas Champion and she was really famous for her mic skills. She is still considered one of the best talkers among the women in WWE.
Lee announced her retirement back in 2015, and she never returned to WWE after leaving the promotion in the mentioned year. Finally, she made a sensational return to WWE recently during a storyline between CM Punk and Seth Rollins. Becky Lynch, the wife of Rollins, was making Punk's life miserable, so Punk brought back her wife as a helping hand.
Why has AJ Lee been absent ever since she appeared at Wrestlepalooza?
At the Clash in Paris event, Seth Rollins defended the World Heavyweight Championship in a fatal 4 way match, which also included CM Punk. As Punk was really close to winning the World Heavyweight Championship at the end of this match, a hooded figure interfered and cost him his opportunity to win the title.

This hooded figure turned out to be Becky Lynch, and she started to hang around her husband to keep helping him. Soon after this screwjob incident, CM Punk brought his wife, AJ Lee, as a helping hand, mostly to deal with the WWE Women's Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch, which was actually quite helpful for the former champion.

CM Punk teamed up with his wife to take on the team of Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins at the Wrestlepalooza event, where Becky Lynch was forced to submit to Lee's Black Widow submission move. But after this match, Lee remained absent from WWE, and the fans could not understand the reason behind this absence. Lee finally wrote the following on her Facebook regarding her absence;
“On a book tour. Not injured, but I appreciate the concern. Also, thanks, Becky Lynch, for keeping the title warm for me. Momma will be back soon.” said Lee, who has not shown up since her big win at the Wrestlepalooza event. So it can be expected that Lee will make her return to WWE soon to continue her rivalry with Becky Lynch, and this time she may even go for the Women's IC Championship.
