WWE has big plans for AJ Lee in her new run with the company

AJ Lee has become the true protagonist of the news in WWE and the professional wrestling business in general. The former Divas champion returned to what was once her home a decade after her departure in what promises to be a grand comeback.

And indeed, AJ Lee's return will not be a one-time thing. The wrestler signed her contract with WWE last night. One that will allow her to compete in the company again ten and a half years after her last professional match. But that's not all, as WWE intends to make her a key piece of the women's division.

"AJ's status as a full-time wrestler indicates something bigger. WWE is investing in her as a key piece of the division once again," stated the media outlet BodySlam.net in a recent report on AJ Lee's current status and immediate future in WWE.

CM Punk's return to WWE led many fans to believe that a return of AJ Lee, his real-life wife, could happen. However, that never occurred. Nevertheless, fans continued to hold onto hope, even chanting her name at some of the company's shows. And that hope began to turn into reality in recent weeks.

The return of the former Divas champion became more evident when Seth Rollins introduced Becky Lynch into his rivalry with CM Punk. He offered some clues in the past few days that practically confirmed his wife's return. A return that took place on last night's episode of SmackDown and has become one of the best moments of the year.
