AJ Lee is married to CM Punk, who was in action in the main event of Clash in Paris. Seth Rollins defended the World Heavyweight Championship against Punk, Jey Uso, and LA Knight in a Fatal Four-Way match. Becky Lynch interfered in the match and helped her husband, Rollins, retain his title.

The ending of Clash in Paris led to fans speculating about AJ Lee potentially returning to the company to help CM Punk battle Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch. According to a new report from Fightful Select, AJ Lee has not been interested in an in-ring return in the past, but that may no longer be the case.

The report noted that some pitches regarding Lee weren't "shut down like they used to be." Fightful could not confirm AJ's return to the company but noted that there has been "more traction" about the possibility as of late.
