In a shocking turn of events, a viral Facebook post claiming that WWE superstar AJ Lee was embarking on a book tour has been exposed as a hoax. The revelation comes after PWInsider.com thoroughly investigated the matter, confirming that the Facebook account behind the post was not affiliated with AJ Lee herself. This development has put an end to speculation about Lee’s absence from WWE television, which had been circulating online.
Background on AJ Lee’s Return and Absence
AJ Lee made a highly anticipated return to WWE earlier this year, teaming up with her husband CM Punk to take down Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch at WrestlePalooza. The event marked a significant moment in Lee’s renewed presence in the WWE, following a decade-long absence. However, her subsequent disappearance from WWE programming sparked rumors and speculation among fans. The rumor mill was fueled further by the appearance of a Facebook post claiming that Lee was on a book tour, which many believed was a legitimate reason for her absence[1][2][3].
The Fake Facebook Post
The Facebook post, which has since been deleted, stated that AJ Lee was “on a book tour” and not injured, calming concerns among her fans. It also hinted at a future return to the ring, with a humorous remark about Becky Lynch keeping the title warm for her. However, PWInsider.com’s investigation revealed that the account responsible for the post was an impersonation, not officially linked to AJ Lee[4][7].
Investigation and Verification
Sources close to the investigation revealed that PWInsider.com reached out to both WWE insiders and contacts within the publishing industry to verify the authenticity of the book tour claims. Their findings unequivocally confirmed that there was no such tour, and the Facebook account was merely a fabrication designed to mislead fans[4][8].
“It’s unfortunate that misinformation can spread so quickly in the digital age,” a WWE insider noted. “We appreciate PWInsider’s diligence in clarifying these rumors. AJ Lee’s return to WWE was a significant moment for us, and we look forward to her future appearances.”
Impact on AJ Lee’s WWE Future
The revelation about the fake Facebook post leaves AJ Lee’s WWE future uncertain. While there is no official word on when she might return to television, fans are eagerly awaiting her next appearance. Speculation about potential feuds, particularly with Becky Lynch, remains high, given the tease in the now-deleted post[3][6].
Conclusion: Separating Fact from Fiction in WWE Rumors
In the fast-paced world of professional wrestling, rumors and misinformation can spread rapidly. The AJ Lee book tour hoax serves as a reminder of the importance of verifying information through reputable sources.
