AJ Lee's Surprise Survivor Series Return Teased Amid Roster Shuffle

As Survivor Series 2025 approaches, speculation is rife about the potential return of former Divas Champion AJ Lee. According to reports, Lee is expected to take part in the Women's WarGames match at the upcoming premium live event. However, WWE's creative team, led by Triple H, may be forced to delay Lee's comeback.

The babyface team for the Women's WarGames is currently short of two members, as Charlotte Flair refused to join Rhea Ripley's squad last week. WWE is currently showcasing the tensions between Flair and Ripley, citing their deep-rooted history. The company needs at least two episodes of RAW to properly showcase how Charlotte Flair eventually buries the hatchet with Rhea Ripley. Bringing AJ Lee back at this point could make the storyline feel cluttered.

Additionally, the upcoming episodes of RAW are expected to feature the returns of marquee superstars like Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar. WWE may want to space out these big-name returns and not pile them all up in the pre-Survivor Series period. As a result, Triple H could postpone AJ Lee's homecoming and instead book her as a surprise entrant during the Women's WarGames match itself.

Interestingly, Lee's return is also expected to ignite a blockbuster singles feud with Becky Lynch. The two last crossed paths at Wrestlepalooza, and their rivalry is far from over. WWE could use Survivor Series 2025 to lay the foundation for this highly anticipated matchup between Lee and Lynch.
