‘Staying ready’ – AJ Lee quizzed on what’s next in her wrestling career

AJ Lee made her long-awaited return to WWE in 2025, but it has now been several months since we have seen the 39-year-old compete in the ring. She last featured for WWE at WrestleMania 42 in April, facing Becky Lynch for the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Title.

‘Staying ready’ – AJ Lee quizzed on what’s next in her wrestling career

In a recent interview on the iHeart Women’s Sports YouTube channel, AJ Lee opened up about her future in wrestling. When asked what's next in her wrestling career, Lee responded with a casual "we'll see." Despite initially feeling the urge to return to the ring, she found herself hesitant after her initial comeback match at WrestleMania 42, where she lost the WWE Women's Intercontinental Title to Becky Lynch.

Lee expressed her desire to break new ground and be part of an exciting story, which would be a key motivating factor for her future endeavors. While it's uncertain what she may do in WWE if given another opportunity, some fans may be eager to see her compete for one of the main women's titles. Lee's previous reign as a three-time WWE Divas Champion ended when the WWE Women's Championship was introduced, and she had left the company before the latter belt was retired.
