AJ Lee appearance, Chamber qualifiers headline Raw next week

Posted on by Vincent Verhei

WWE has announced an AJ Lee appearance and two Elimination Chamber qualifiers for next week’s episode of Monday Night Raw.

Lee will no doubt be promoting her match against Becky Lynch at Elimination Chamber. Lee’s issues with Lynch go back to WrestlePalooza last September. She returned to WWE after a decade out of the spotlight at that show, teaming with her husband CM Punk to defeat Lynch and her husband Seth Rollins. Lee submitted Lynch with her black widow hold to win the match. 

Lee continued to harass Lynch through the end of 2025. In November, she distracted Lynch during a match on Monday Night Raw. Lynch lost her Women’s Intercontinental Championship to Maxxine Dupri as a result. A few weeks later, Lee’s team defeated Lynch’s team at Survivor Series War Games when Lee again made Lynch submit to the black widow. 

Lynch regained the title from Dupri in January on the Raw on Netflix Anniversary Show.

Lee has not held a title since losing the WWE Divas Championship to Nikki Bella in a 34-second match at Survivor Series in 2014. Her last championship match was a loss to Bella at TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs … And Stairs in December of that same year. 

Also announced for next week: a pair of Elimination Chamber qualifiers. The first pits Je’Von Evans vs. Gunther vs. Dominik Mysterio; the winner will join Randy Orton and LA Knight in the men’s Elimination Chamber match. 

The second pits Bayley vs. Asuka vs. Nattie; the winner will join Tiffany Stratton and Rhea Ripley in the women’s Elimination Chamber match.

WWE Monday Night Raw hails from the FedEx Forum in Memphis, Tennessee, on February 16, 2026.

Two matches are now set for the Elimination Chamber.

AJ Lee made her return to television on Monday and confronted Becky Lynch. She said she was there to cheer on Maxxine Dupri against Nattie later in the night, but also pointed out that she defeated Lynch not only at Wrestlepalooza but also at War Games. Lee said that she figured she was the number one contender for the Intercontinental title. Lynch resisted the idea of facing Lynch but eventually agreed, telling the former Diva’s Champion that if she thought the man held her down before, she has no idea what she’s in for.

Later, when Lee came out to help Dupri to the back following her match, Lynch ran in through the crowd and posted Lee from behind into a nearby turnbuckle.

The title match between CM Punk and Finn Balor was also confirmed for February 28. Balor, upset over his title loss in Belfast and being rejected for a spot in the Royal Rumble, hijacked CM Punk’s interview segment with Michael Cole before Punk could come out. Balor demanded a title match in Chicago, Punk’s home turf. The World Heavyweight Champion arrived and agreed to the title match, but GM Adam Pearce rejected the idea, saying it could potentially ruin the WrestleMania main event between Punk and Roman Reigns. Punk said that he wanted a say in the matter and would take over the show until he got what he wanted. Pearce eventually relented and agreed to the title match.

CM Punk hopes to work more WWE tag matches with wife AJ Lee

Posted on by Joseph Currier

CM Punk is hoping that he and his wife AJ Lee will get to work more mixed tag matches together in the future.

In what was Lee’s first match in more than a decade, she and Punk teamed up together to defeat Becky Lynch & Seth Rollins at WWE Wrestlepalooza in September 2025. Punk reflected on that moment in a new interview with Complex, saying he had the time of his life and selfishly hopes that it was not a one-off.

“I don’t have the words to explain exactly how enjoyable all that was for me,” Punk said. “You know, I’m her biggest fan. So to have a front row seat, literally, for her return and to help kind of put it all together behind the scenes and the anticipation, like, knowing it was going to happen and just knowing how great it was going to be and what an amazing moment it was going to be. Yeah, time of my life, 100 percent. Selfishly, I want to tag with her more. It feels like that might have been a one-off, but I don’t know. We’ll have to see.”

Lee retired from WWE in 2015 but is now back with the company under a new deal. She’s taking a “trepidatious” approach to her WWE schedule and has only wrestled twice since her return, but it looks like Lee facing Lynch for the Women’s Intercontinental title is in the works for WrestleMania 42 this April.

Punk was recently unveiled as the cover star for WWE 2K26. In the interview with Complex, he was asked if we could potentially see Lee as a playable character in the video game.

“Fingers are crossed,” Punk responded. “I’m not spoiling anything for anybody.”

AJ Lee match reportedly in the works for WWE WrestleMania 42

Posted on by Josh Nason

The feud between AJ Lee and Becky Lynch will reportedly continue just in time for this year’s WWE WrestleMania 42.

On Thursday’s WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select, it was stated a singles match between them is considered one of the more “locked in” bouts for the weekend and has been for some time.

Lee has been a thorn in Lynch’s side since returning last fall, making her in-ring return at the first-ever WWE WrestlePalooza in September. She and husband CM Punk defeated Lynch and husband Seth Rollins in a featured match.

The two squared off as part of the women’s WarGames match at November’s Survivor Series where Lee tapped out Lynch to end the match. Lee also cost Lynch the Women’s Intercontinental title at that month’s Raw from Madison Square Garden.

Lee, who is on a part-time deal, hasn’t appeared since November with the two aforementioned matches as her only competition to date — her first matches in a decade. Lynch regained the Intercontinental title in January.

The two night event takes place on Saturday, April 18 and Sunday, April 19 from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.

AJ Lee shares tribute to late dog Larry: ‘Half my heart is gone’

Posted on by Joseph Currier

In an Instagram post today, AJ Lee shared a tribute to her late dog Larry.

Larry — who was adopted by Lee and her husband CM Punk more than a decade ago — passed away in December after living what Punk called a “long amazing life.” The gruff-looking dog became a cult favorite with Lee and Punk’s fans during his life as they posted pictures of Larry to social media and referenced him in their careers.

A fundraiser in honor of Larry is currently ongoing to benefit PAWS Chicago, where Larry was adopted from. Lee thanked everyone who has contributed and reflected on what Larry meant to her, sharing how he helped her get through tough moments. While half of her heart is gone following Larry’s passing, Lee encouraged everyone looking for a best friend that will make their day brighter to rescue a dog instead of buying one.

She wrote:

  • Thank you all who donated to animal rescue org @pawschicago in Larry’s memory.
  • Over a decade ago our Larry Talbot was surrendered there for doing the most. Multiple fosters gave up on him, one stating on record ‘I cannot allow this chaos in my home any longer’.A professional trainer called him ‘a lost cause’. He survived abuse and abandonment and was just misunderstood. We knew he was perfect for us. He snuggled on his terms, like a prickly cat. He stole entire pizzas and donuts off countertops and swallowed them whole like a snake. One time a little abuela saw him on the street, clutched her chest, and yelled ‘El Chupacabra!’ He helped get me out of the deepest depressive cycles and was the center of my happiest days. He went from discarded underdog to having his face plastered across billboards, the United Center, ASPCA campaigns, Rolling Stone, and had more action figures, merchandise, and fan art than most pro athletes. In his golden years, he grew the long beard of a wise wizard and became velcro, permanently attached to my lap. It was the greatest honor to become his emotional support after he spent so long being mine. I just know he’s now with my other furry angels Mugsy and Nacho, causing absolute f-ing mayhem.
  • I am not okay, half my heart is gone. I get really quiet and private during the hard stuff but I wanted to come on here and say, if you need a best friend who will make every day brighter, who will save your life right back, please adopt don’t shop. Rescue dogs are a special kind of magic.

After retiring from WWE in 2015, Lee made her return to the company last September. She’s taking a trepidatious approach to her wrestling schedule but has worked two matches so far. A singles bout against Women’s Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch could be in her future with the two having feuded since Lee’s return.

AJ Lee reacts to WWE Survivor Series: WarGames victory

AJ Lee reacts to her Survivor Series win.

On social media, Lee posted a picture of her team standing tall following their victory on Saturday. Lee’s message was short, but to the point, comparing them to a famous superhero alliance.

“Tell your kids these were the avengers,” she wrote.

Lee teamed with Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss, Rhea Ripley, and IYO SKY to defeat Lash Legend, Nia Jax, Becky Lynch, and the Kabuki Warriors at Survivor Series. Lee scored the victory for her team, submitting Lynch with the Black Widow octopus hold.

The two have been feuding since Lee made her return to WWE earlier this year, teaming with husband CM Punk to defeat Seth Rollins and Lynch in a mixed tag team match at the Wrestlepalooza PLE. Earlier this month on Raw, Lee made her return and distracted Lynch, causing her to lose the Women’s Intercontinental Championship to Maxxine Dupri. Soon after, Lee joined the Women’s Survior Series WarGames team while Lynch retaliated by blindsiding Lee and aligning with Asuka’s team.

In the main event of Survivor Series, The Vision, Logan Paul, Drew McIntyre, and Brock Lesnar defeated Punk, Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, and The Usos in the men’s WarGames match, with Bron Breakker pinning CM Punk after a spear. The show ended with Cody having strong words for Reigns, teasing a future match between the two.

AJ Lee forces ex-champion to tap, wins Women’s WarGames at Survivor Series 2025

Posted on by Shounak Chakrabarti

AJ Lee has secured the victory for her team at WWE Survivor Series: WarGames 2025.

In the first match of the night at Petco Park in San Diego, California, fans witnessed one of the best women’s matches in recent memory. In only her second bout in almost a decade, AJ Lee trapped Becky Lynch in the Black Widow, forcing her to tap out and sealing the win in a match lasting nearly 41-minutes.

The match also featured several violent moments, which is common in a steel cage environment. All six women pushed each other to their absolute limits. Nia Jax and Lash Legend brutally powerbombed Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair against the cage, while later in the match, Asuka fired friendly shots as she accidentally misted Legend with poison mist, taking her out of the action for the remainder of the bout.

In the final moments, IYO Sky performed her iconic trash can dive from the top of the cage onto four other women, opening the opening Lee needed. AJ Lee then swiftly locked in the Black Widow on Becky Lynch to secure the victory.

Here is the updated match card for WWE Survivor Series: WarGames 2025:

CM Punk says Women’s WarGames match should main event WWE Survivor Series

Posted on by Ian Carey

CM Punk believes the Women’s WarGames match should headline WWE Survivor Series.

The World Heavyweight Champion appeared on Up & Adams on Wednesday and told host Kay Adams that while he believes the men’s match will ultimately go on last in San Diego, he feels the star power in both is off the charts.

Punk said:

“I’m a little biased. My wife is obviously in that match and I’m excited to watch it. I think the women should be the main event, selfishly. I do probably think us guys will main event. There’s two titles involved in there, they’re not on the line, but star power is off the charts. But I also think the star power is off the charts when it comes to the women.”

“AJ Lee coming back to wrestling and being in a cage match is a big deal. She gets to punch Becky Lynch in the face, I can only imagine how good that is going to feel. IYO Sky, Rhea Ripley, Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss, just a huge all-star, blue-eyed, babyface dream team.”

Punk also compared the babyface team in the women’s WarGames match to the cast from the 1985 high school comedy film The Breakfast Club.

“It’s almost like The Breakfast Club. They have their Bender, they have their princess, they have their nerd, they have their jock, and they have their crazy goth, Rhea Ripley. I don’t know, it’s just something about that team.”

Ripley, Bliss, Sky, Flair, and Lee will face Nia Jax, Lash Legend, Asuka, Kairi Sane, and Becky Lynch in the women’s WarGames match on the November 29 PLE. Punk will be in the men’s match teaming with Roman Reigns, The Usos, and Cody Rhodes against Logan Paul, Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, Brock Lesnar, and Drew McIntyre.

Punk’s appearance on the Up & Adams show is available below:

AJ Lee explains ‘trepidatious’ approach to her WWE schedule

Posted on by Joseph Currier

In her return to WWE, AJ Lee is making sure not to take on more than she can handle.

Lee returned to WWE this September, competing for the first time since her 2015 retirement. That return match saw her team with her husband CM Punk to defeat fellow married couple Becky Lynch & Seth Rollins. Lee will now wrestle again this Saturday (November 29) at Survivor Series when she takes part in WarGames.

Preserving her mental health is something that Lee is prioritizing in her WWE return. She does not want things to end like they did in her first run with the company.

“There was this world in which it was just like a one-and-done. Where it was just like, come back and have fun and, like, see how you feel,” Lee said on Stephanie McMahon’s “What’s Your Story?” podcast.

“And that’s been a big thing too, because of — I never wanted to feel how I felt mentally to where my last year was very hard for me. And so, I have been a little trepidatious in like what I’m committing to and what I can handle. And part of the appeal of, like, ‘Okay, let’s keep doing this’ was that group of women [in WarGames]. And being like, ‘Oh, I’m a fan of all of them. Like, I’ll be like so happy to just be surrounded by them and get to like work with them.’ To just like kind of hang out with them in that way of, okay, trust this group. I think — I give so much credit to the women [for making] it very appealing.”

The WarGames match will see Lee team up with Rhea Ripley, IYO SKY, Charlotte Flair & Alexa Bliss against Lynch, Asuka, Kairi Sane, Nia Jax & Lash Legend. The women’s division that exists today is something that Lee could only dream of during her first stint with WWE. She loves that everyone now is valued for more than just their appearance.

“To see every single woman on the roster is so talented and different and special. And their looks are like the 10th most interesting thing about them,” Lee said. “They have so many skills and are, they’re people that I would have been a fan of as a kid. And to see that and somehow come back and, like, play with them is, it’s insane. It really is.”

Petco Park in San Diego is hosting Survivor Series on Saturday. The PLE begins at 7 p.m. Eastern time, airing live on the ESPN app in the United States and on Netflix elsewhere.

WWE star AJ Lee reveals new film project

Posted on by Joseph Currier

WWE star AJ Lee is collaborating with a legendary animation company on a new film project.

On Stephanie McMahon’s “What’s Your Story?” podcast, Lee opened up about running Scrappy Heart Productions with actress Aimee Garcia. Lee revealed that they are currently in the process of writing a movie for Toei — the iconic Japanese animation company that has created series like Dragon Ball Z, Sailor Moon, and Digimon.

“We just wrote our second feature. I think I have permission to say it,” Lee said. “I think this is the first time anyone’s hearing this. So we’re breaking news.

“Another example of manifestation. One of my favorite — I love anime so much. And so one of my favorite companies growing up was Toei. They did Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball Z. And like these things that raised me. And so we are writing a movie for Toei Animation. I think that’s all I can say. But just such a dream come true to be in their office and see like all Dragon Ball Z figures everywhere.”

Lee and Garcia were also co-writers of the Netflix original movie “Blade of the 47 Ronin.” Lee said, as Latina women, they started their production company with the goal of providing better representation for the next generation. In terms of other projects, they are developing a TV show and just produced their first short film. Lee also has written a feature that she is considering turning into a comic book first.

“I just wrote my first original feature by myself. I’m so excited,” Lee said. “I might make it a comic book first, but it’s a horror movie. And it’s like this mental health horror story. It is my child. So hopefully I can throw that out into the world soon.”

Breaking into Hollywood is something that Lee (AJ Mendez) focused on during the decade she was retired from WWE. She returned this September and is now back wrestling in addition to her other entertainment work.

Stephanie McMahon: Executives didn’t make WWE women’s evolution happen

Posted on by Joseph Currier

In a new podcast, Stephanie McMahon and AJ Lee addressed their Twitter controversy from 2015.

The social media exchange from more than a decade ago saw Lee fire back at McMahon over a tweet regarding equal pay for women. McMahon applauded actress Patricia Arquette for using an Oscars speech to advocate for the issue — and Lee responded by pointing out that women in WWE did not make the same money as their male counterparts or get equal screen time despite having record-breaking merchandise sales and highly rated TV segments.

McMahon said on “What’s Your Story?” that she appreciated Lee’s directness and was actually happy that she posted the tweet, though she did not like that the post was directed at her specifically. McMahon credited all of the female stars throughout wrestling history for making the women’s evolution a reality, saying it happened because of them and not because of executives.

“I was actually happy that you posted that,” McMahon said. “I wasn’t happy that it was directed at me because it wasn’t anything I had direct control over. But I was really happy that you did because that movement, the whole women’s evolution in WWE, it didn’t happen because of executives or it didn’t happen because, I mean, maybe along the way, people voicing their opinions — but it really happened because of the women who paved the way all the way back to the beginning of all of these incredible women who have been inside the squared circle no matter what promotion they were in.

“But then for our audience, when they started the hashtag ‘Give Divas a Chance’ at that time, that’s what couldn’t be ignored. And the audience would never have gotten behind the movement if it weren’t for people like you who actually stood up for women publicly and take on the machine a little bit. It was a big deal, I thought.”

Lee responded by saying she knew she was taking a risk with the tweet, but you have to take risks to get what you truly want in life.

“I appreciate that,” Lee said. “And I feel like change doesn’t happen unless there’s sacrifice. You have to be willing to lose everything to get what you want. I feel like in every aspect of life — playing it safe might give you a safe life, but I don’t know if it gives you an exceptional life. And so I felt like that was worth it, whatever backlash was going to be. But I thought you were cool after. Like, everyone was pretty chill. It was business and I appreciate that. But, you know, it was a rough time.”

“I mean, there was a lot of things happening at that time [laughs],” McMahon replied. “So I’m sure everyone could read into it however they wanted. But it was so important. You know, it was a really important public-facing step.”

Lee retired from WWE in April 2015 and spent more than a decade away from the ring until returning this September. She’s set to compete in WarGames at Survivor Series this Saturday, where it will be Lee, Rhea Ripley, IYO SKY, Charlotte Flair & Alexa Bliss vs. Becky Lynch, Asuka, Kairi Sane, Nia Jax & Lash Legend.

Teams finalized for women’s WarGames match at WWE Survivor Series

Posted on by Bryan Rose

The teams for the women’s WarGames match at Survivor Series have now been finalized.

After the end of SmackDown, it was revealed that AJ Lee would join with the likes of Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss, Rhea Ripley, and IYO SKY at WWE’s next PLE on November 29. But the final moments of the show also had Becky Lynch join forces with the Kabuki Warriors, Lash Legend, and Nia Jax, solidifying their team.

In the main event segment, Ripley’s team came out for a face-to-face and revealed their fifth member: AJ Lee, who came down to the ring. However, the distraction allowed Asuka and her team to attack Ripley’s team from behind. As Lee entered ringside to make the save, she was suddenly blindsided by Becky Lynch. The final moments of the show had Becky Lynch and the rest of the heels standing tall, with Lynch shaking hands with Asuka.

On Raw, it was Lee’s distraction that helped Maxxine Dupri pin Lynch to win the Women’s Intercontinental title. Backstage, Lee talked about Dupri’s win when Ripley came in and asked if they could talk.

WWE Survivor Series: WarGames (November 29)

Big Event convention issues statement on AJ Lee AI video

Posted on by Joseph Currier

The Big Event has issued a statement regarding the strange AJ Lee AI-generated video that a convention attendee uploaded this week.

Lee responded to the video in a tweet on November 19, calling it inappropriate and harassment and asking the fan to please delete it. The video, which features a photo of the fan meeting Lee at the Big Event Entertainment & Sports Expo, used artificial intelligence to make it seem like he and Lee were kissing each other.

The Big Event has banned the fan from attending any of their future shows. Along with that, the convention shared a statement announcing that anyone who does anything like this in the future will also be banned with immediate effect.

“As most [of] you have seen The Big Event has been making headlines for the past 48 hours for the wrong reasons. This isn’t a discussion regarding the positive or negative uses of AI, but if you use AI or any other type of manipulation to misrepresent the experience you had at the show that paints our guests or our fans in a negative or compromising way, you will be banned from all future events, one strike, no appeal,” Big Event staff wrote.

“We want everyone who comes to have a memorable experience, a REAL memorable experience, and not create a false narrative that ruins future opportunities and moments for our fans. The celebrities and talent that take time out of their schedule do it because they appreciate the fans that made this all possible, so please, respect the talent, not only during the show, but outside of it as well.”

Based in New York, the Big Event is one of the largest autograph shows in the Northeast. The Entertainment & Sports Expo was held in Long Island on November 15. After appearing at the convention, Lee was on WWE Raw at Madison Square Garden this Monday to help set up her expected participation in Survivor Series: WarGames.

The fan who posted the Lee AI video has refused to delete it so far.

AJ Lee calls out fan AI video: This is inappropriate and harassment

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Update —

The Big Event has banned the fan who made the video from attending any of its future conventions/shows.

**********

AJ Lee is calling out a fan for inappropriate behavior and asking them to delete a strange AI-generated video.

The video was uploaded to YouTube on Wednesday by a fan named Chris. It shows him meeting Lee at the Big Event Entertainment & Sports Expo in New York, with Chris using AI to animate the photo and show him and Lee kissing.

“This is inappropriate and it is harassment,” Lee (real name AJ Mendez) tweeted in response. “Please delete.”

So far, the fan has refused to delete the video.

Inappropriate fan behavior is something that several wrestling stars have spoken about recently. Last month, Lee’s husband CM Punk posted a message urging people not to follow wrestlers or show up at the airport or their hotels.

“We unfortunately have to have this conversation again. Do not turn up at airports. Do not show up at hotels. I cannot believe I have to say this. DO NOT FOLLOW PEOPLE,” Punk wrote. “You’ve repeatedly been politely told no, respect it. You are not a fan, you are a stalker and will be treated as such. Respect the boundaries. Stop harassing people.”

There was an incident in August where Rhea Ripley was swarmed by a group of fans pushing against her Uber door while in Paris. Ripley is also one of many wrestlers who has had to tell fans to never send mail to her personal address.

Lee — who returned to WWE in September after retiring a decade ago — made an appearance on Raw this Monday where she helped Maxxine Dupri win the Women’s Intercontinental title from Becky Lynch. It’s expected that Lee will be competing in the women’s WarGames match at Survivor Series on November 29.

Becky Lynch responds to AJ Lee’s WWE Raw return: ‘Clearly a case of corruption’

Posted on by Shounak Chakrabarti

Becky Lynch believes AJ Lee’s Raw return was ‘clearly a case of corruption’.

During the November 17th edition of Raw at the Madison Square Garden in New York, fans witnessed Maxxine Dupri defeat Becky Lynch for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship. Following AJ Lee’s return and interference, Dupri was able to keep Lynch down for the three count. Now, Lynch has finally responded to Lee’s involvement on social media.

Uploading a brief video alongside a lengthy caption, The Man called out WWE management and Lee for allegedly coordinating the return. Instead of breaking character, Lynch maintained kayfabe and called out the entire situation as a ‘clear case of corruption’. Lynch further called out the ‘crooked referee’ and opened up about hiring lawyers.

She wrote, “LET’S NOT FORGET AJ LEE’S MUSIC & THE LED BOARDS. THOSE THINGS DON’T JUST MAGICALLY POP UP WHEN SOMEONE STEPS THROUGH THE CURTAIN. AJ TOLD PEARCE TO HIT HER MUSIC, PEARCE WAS OF COURSE FINE WITH IT BECAUSE THE FANS WILL BE HAPPY AND NOT NOTICE HIS AWFUL DECISION MAKING IN ALLOWING THIS MATCH IN THE FIRST PLACE. MAXXINE WAS IN ON IT TOO BECAUSE SHE KNEW THERE’S NO WAY SHE COULD WIN WITHOUT IT. WHICH SHE DID NOT DO. THE COURTS WILL VERIFY THIS.”

Lynch had earlier won the Women’s Intercontinental title at Money in the Bank 2025 when she defeated Lyra Valkyria.

Seth Rollins opens up about partnership with wife Becky Lynch

A few months ago, Seth Rollins appeared on ESPN’s Unsportsmanlike and discussed what it’s like to work alongside his wife, Becky Lynch.

“I think what it boils down to for me is: iron sharpens iron. You know, we met through this industry. We met in 2015 or something like that, 2014, became friends, both started to kind of rise up at the same time, found each other romantically. And then we’ve been able to really use each other as a resource. And to get out there and perform with her, the way she preps is different than how I prep, and the way she performs and interacts is different. So we get to learn from each other, we get to bounce stuff off of each other.”

He further said, “She is actually the greatest of all time. This is the first woman to main event WrestleMania. That’s our Super Bowl. She’s a mother, she’s an athlete, she’s an entertainer, she does everything. And she has transcended our industry and taken female wrestling to heights no one ever could have dreamed of.”
