AJ Lee was one of the most popular names in WWE at a time when female superstars did not get significant opportunities. While other talents struggled, Lee thrived in main event storylines alongside top stars like John Cena, CM Punk, and Bryan Danielson, and became a pioneer in the business.

However, in a surprising turn of events, Lee announced her retirement from wrestling in 2015. It has been a decade since she has been away from the ring, but recent events have hinted at her return to WWE.

Most recently, Becky Lynch's interference in Seth Rollins' title defense at WWE Clash in Paris 2025 and her segment on RAW with CM Punk the following night teased Lee's potential return to even the odds. More clarity on the situation can be expected when Punk makes an appearance on this week's edition of SmackDown in his hometown of Chicago, Illinois.

While Lee's return to wrestling seems imminent, it would have been a completely different picture if she had chosen to compete in AEW. With that in mind, here are the top four dream matches for AJ Lee in the Jacksonville-based promotion.

#4. Skye Blue

Skye Blue has become a regular on AEW programming following her inclusion in the Triangle of Madness. Moreover, her physical stature is very much reminiscent of AJ Lee's. So, she could have been a great opponent for The Black Widow if she ever appeared in All Elite Wrestling.

#3. Britt Baker

Britt Baker is one of the most popular homegrown talents of All Elite Wrestling. However, she has been off television for months and has been rumored to leave the promotion. The Doctor was the first female signing for AEW and climbed the ranks to become a top star for the company, winning multiple championships and accolades. Therefore, she would have been an excellent choice for a dream showdown with WWE's former top star, AJ Lee.

#2. Toni Storm

'Timeless' Toni Storm can be considered one of the biggest AEW successes in their six-year history. The Hollywood Starlet is known for her captivating persona and exceptional in-ring acumen, which has made her a multi-time Women's World Champion and a marquee attraction for the Jacksonville-based promotion.

Moreover, she has put on some great matches with top stars like Mercedes Mone, Saraya, Mina Shirakawa, and Athena. This makes Storm one of the top choices for a dream match against the former three-time WWE Divas Champion, AJ Lee.

#1. Mercedes Mone

A few months after AJ Lee retired from wrestling in 2015, the WWE Universe saw the arrival of Mercedes Mone, then known as Sasha Banks, on the main roster. She was one of the faces of the women's revolution alongside fellow NXT call-ups Charlotte, Becky Lynch, and Bayley. Now, Mone is considered one of the best female wrestlers of all time, which makes her a formidable opponent for AJ Lee in AEW.
