However, he added that Lee could have a similar trajectory to Nikki Bella if she stuck around following her return."That's what they're doing. The shows are so freaking bad that when AJ Lee is gonna be a surprise, it's like The Rock is going to be on the show. That has a lot to do with the shows being so bad. It's like, give me anything. Give me anything and I'll pop for it, I'll put it over, and I'll say it'll be great. Bro, they're gonna have a mixed tag, and CM Punk and Lee are gonna go over. Then Lee is gonna fall into the Nikki Bella spot, which Nikki Bella has already fallen to another name on the roster. I'm supposed to get excited about that?"Sugo @sugostrangeLINKI will be tuning in for aj lee returnIt will be interesting to see what WWE has planned for Lee's return to the company in the weeks ahead.
