According to an X user, in the photograph that features confirmed entrants from the Women’s Royal Rumble match, AJ can be identified among the unrevealed participants. It might seem like a far-stretched possibility to many, but if we look at the post, his claim seems correct.
Due to the kind of booking decisions WWE has made in recent months, the pro wrestling audience is now wishing for her potential return at the January 27 event. In addition, another thing that has made them believe that she could be returning to the company is CM Punk’s current run.

Even though The Straight Edge Superstar’s last stint with the Triple H-led promotion ended abruptly, he’s back in the organization. As he’s the partner of the female star, there’s a possibility that Lee might follow in the footsteps of her husband and make a comeback to the pro wrestling world as an in-ring worker.

In fact, the way they’ve expressed their views, it shows that the fans are desperate to see AJ Lee’s return at Royal Rumble 2024.

Will AJ Lee really come out of retirement for Royal Rumble 2024?
Due to the ongoing social media discussions about AJ’s potential return at the January 27 PLE, it’s evident that fans want to see her return. But the biggest question is: will AJ Lee really come out of retirement for Royal Rumble 2024?
As the former Divas Champion’s husband, CM Punk, has returned to WWE after nine long years, the possibility is at an all-time high. But it must be noted that the female pro wrestler has been away from in-ring competition for a long time due to her health issues. In fact, her injuries were the major reason why she decided to retire.
Despite the 36-year-old’s injury concerns, there’s a high possibility that she might show up for the Women’s Royal Rumble. And if she really makes an appearance in Florida, the crowd will literally tear the roof away. In fact, it might be one of the loudest ever pops for a returning female pro wrestler.
However he question that still remains is what Lee’s decision is, as she’s been successful outside of pro wrestling too. Whatever her plans is, the WWE universe will have to wait to find out if Mendez returns or not. If she does, the fans will surely welcome her with open arms at the Royal Rumble event.
