The WWE is always looking for ways to bring in new talent and create exciting storylines, and AJ Lee is still a part of that conversation.”

The WWE’s decision to put AJ Lee’s creative plans on hold may come as a disappointment to fans, but it’s clear that the company has a lot on its plate right now. With the current state of the women’s division and the departure of several high-profile talent, the WWE has to prioritize what’s next for the future of women’s wrestling in the company.
Only time will tell if AJ Lee will return to the WWE in the future, but for now, it seems that her creative plans are effectively on hold.
