There has been an update regarding AJ Lee and Saraya following WWE Evolution. The PLE took place last night at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.
According to a new report from PWInsider, Saraya (formerly known as Paige in WWE) was in Hawaii over the weekend, and there were never plans for her to be at Evolution 2025.
There was speculation that AJ Lee might appear at the event due to the company sharing content about her ahead of Evolution; however, the report also noted that there was no connection between the two sides, and she wasn't in the plans for the event.
AJ Lee has not competed in a match since 2015. Saraya spent the past few years in All Elite Wrestling but exited the promotion earlier this year. The veteran won the AEW Women's World Championship during her tenure with the company.
Bill Apter discusses a potential WWE return for AJ Lee
Wrestling veteran Bill Apter believes AJ Lee would be willing to return to the company under the right circumstances.
Lee is married to CM Punk, and The Second City Saint will be competing in a Gauntlet match tonight on WWE RAW to determine Gunther's opponent at SummerSlam next month.
Speaking on Sportskeeda's The Wrestling Time Machine, Apter stated that fans were dying to see Lee return and revealed what he thought would bring her back to the company. He suggested that a good offer and an interesting storyline would be enough for her return.
"I think the fans are dying for her (AJ Lee) to come back. She was great when she was in the business. We don't know what she'll—if she comes back she's got to be physically and mentally ready and I don't know her current situation or anything, I haven't been in touch with her. I've talked to Punk but I think if they make a good offer and there's a great angle, that will bring her back in," Bill Apter said. [20:36 - 21:03]
