The former WWE star AJ Lee has last made an appearance inside the squared circle for WWE back in 2015. She had announced retirement due to serious injuries.
During a recent interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling, Mr. Money In The Bank, Big E said that he believes there’s definitely a place for Lee in WWE. He believes that if she returns, she could potentially work the Brock Lesnar schedule.

Big E said that Lee left a great impact on the industry through all of her accomplishments.
“I was fortunate enough to be able to learn from her and Dolph. I came up with her a bit in FCW. But seeing her really take off on the main roster, to see her become such a great character and talker, and be so memorable. She just was someone who had a very strong idea of who she was and who she wanted to be on screen.”, said Big E.
Big E also respects her and considers her a friend. But he is a great fan of everything she’s done in the realm of mental health awareness. He adds:
“But I also think, if she wants it, of course, there very easily is a massive place for her.”, said Big E. “And it’s weird, I feel like she’s in this legend territory where she comes back and she gets a massive pop. She can have a Brock Lesnar type schedule if she wanted to and work a few times a year. So, if it’s something she wants, of course there’s a place for her.”
We will see if we get to witness Lee again in the ring just like how his husband made his dream pro-wrestling return at AEW.
