Top 5 WWE Returns of 2025

#1. AJ Lee Comes Back Home After A Decade (SmackDown: September 5,2025)

CM Punk and Seth “Freakin” Rollins had been feuding for ages. However, when Becky Lynch low-blowed Punk at WWE Clash in Paris, fans could sense the beginning of a new chapter in the Punk vs. Rollins saga. Triple H was planting the seeds for a massive Mixed Tag Team Match at WrestlePalooza, but no one wanted to entertain the possibility.

AJ Lee had retired from wrestling, and WWE, known for playing it safe, would most likely go with the easier option of Rhea Ripley. However, the company proved everyone wrong as the former Divas Champion made a shocking return on the September 5th edition of SmackDown.

The timing couldn’t have been more appropriate. Rollins’ wife, Becky Lynch, had attacked Punk multiple times. Fortunately, the Straight Edge Superstar had a crazy wife in AJ Lee to teach Lynch a lesson. The craziest woman on the WWE roster got a massive ovation from the live crowd.
