AJ Lee explains the reason for her absence from WWE television programming

AJ Lee has become one of the WWE's biggest attractions. However, she has been absent since her victory at Wrestlepalooza. After the event, both AJ and her husband, CM Punk, took a couple of weeks off. After that time, "The Best in the World" returned to work, but not his wife.

Many fans are hoping that AJ continues her rivalry with Becky Lynch, but the former Divas champion is still missing. Tireless, fans have constantly asked about the reasons for this absence. A question that AJ Lee herself has answered through her Facebook account.

(I am) on a book promotion tour. I am not injured, but I appreciate the concern. Also, I thank Becky Lynch for keeping the title warm for me. Mom will be back soon

With these words, AJ has not only explained the reason for her absence, but has also made it clear that her goal remains the Intercontinental Championship currently held by Becky Lynch. At the moment, it is unknown when her return will take place and what event could host the long-awaited title match against "The Man".

AJ Lee returned to WWE last September to join CM Punk in their rivalry with Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch, leading to a mixed tag team match at Wrestlepalooza. That same night, Lee signed a contract with the company to start a new chapter in professional wrestling ten years after her retirement.

The night of her return ended with Lee taking the Intercontinental Championship home after Lynch left it behind in her escape. That was just another hint pointing towards a future match that will pit two of the most important women in WWE history against each other.
