AJ Lee has once again reminded fans why she is so loved in the wrestling world. After her recent appearance at WrestleMania 42, she shared an emotional message reflecting on her return, her fellow wrestlers, and the fans who have supported her for years.
AJ Lee talks about her WrestleMania return
After competing against Becky Lynch at WrestleMania 42, AJ Lee opened up about her experience. Even though she lost the match and her Women’s Intercontinental Championship, she made it clear that the moment meant a lot to her.
She shared how grateful she felt stepping back into the ring and being part of such a big event again. While there are talks that she may take a short break from WWE, she has already hinted that she is not done with wrestling yet.
Heartfelt message to fellow WWE stars
AJ Lee took to social media to thank several women who played a big role in making her return special. She used their real names in her post, showing a more personal and emotional side.
She gave special thanks to:
- Becky Lynch for being supportive and fun to work with
- Jessika Carr for helping her stay calm during matches
- Roxanne Perez and Lyra Valkyria for helping her fall in love with wrestling again
AJ Lee even joked that these younger stars are more talented than she ever was, but added that she still plans to face them properly one day.
Special praise for Bayley
One of the most touching parts of her message was dedicated to Bayley. AJ Lee called her the “GOAT” and thanked her for helping her train and enjoy wrestling again.
Their bond goes beyond the ring. AJ Lee had earlier joked that Bayley is like a “work wife” she shares with her husband CM Punk.
Interestingly, Bayley was also one of AJ Lee’s dream opponents. That dream came true when they faced each other on WWE Raw, where AJ Lee successfully defended her title.
A message to her fans – the AJ Leegion
AJ Lee didn’t forget her fans, whom she lovingly calls the “AJ Leegion.” She thanked them for supporting her for nearly 20 years.
She said her WrestleMania entrance was a tribute to them and to young girls who dream of becoming strong and confident like their heroes.
She also mentioned:
- Fans buying her merchandise over the years
- Huge online support and record-breaking views
- Even popularising Converse shoes through her iconic style
Her message ended with a promise that fans may see her again soon.
What’s next for AJ Lee?
Right now, there is no official update on when AJ Lee will return to WWE. However, she has made it clear that she still enjoys wrestling and is open to coming back whenever the opportunity feels right.
She described her current career stage as a “bonus,” meaning she now focuses more on enjoying the moment rather than chasing achievements.
AJ Lee’s return to WrestleMania was not just about one match—it was about rediscovering her love for wrestling and reconnecting with the people who matter most. From praising fellow wrestlers to thanking her loyal fans, her message showed humility, gratitude, and passion.
Even though she may step away for a while, her words strongly suggest that this is not the end of her journey. Fans can stay hopeful, because whenever the right moment comes, AJ Lee may step back into the ring once again and create more unforgettable memories.
