WWE fans expect AJ Lee to return to the company and help husband CM Punk in his feud with Seth Rollins and 'The Man' Becky Lynch. However, in an unexpected development, Bayley may do the honours instead.

Becky Lynch joined aligned with her husband Seth Rollins’ faction The Vision at Clash in Paris on August 31 and helped him retain the World Heavyweight Championship. She delivered a low blow to CM Punk when he had ‘The Architect’ beat in the Fatal-4-Way match, which headlined the event, which allowed her hubby to get the pinfall. The very next night, on Raw, she slapped and insulted Punk in front of the live crowd. This seemingly set the stage for the former Divas Champion AJ Lee, who is married to ‘The Best in the World’ to return and level the odds.

However, there is also a possibility of Punk receiving help from a 36-year-old star— rather than Lee— , in this bitter feud.
Bayley is one of the most popular names on the WWE roster. The multi-time Women’s Champion has been an integral part of the business since she made her debut over a decade ago.

However, this year has not been too kind to her. She missed WrestleMania and SummerSlam in line with the creative team’s wishes. She is also no longer considered to be a contender for the Raw Women’s title. Bayley luck, however, may soon change if she is drawn into the feud involving CM Punk and Seth Rollins. ‘
Doing so would make absolute sense storyline wise as Lynch played a big role in Bayley’s downfall. The veteran was to team up with her ally Lyra Valkyria to take on Judgement Day at WrestleMania 41 but that did not happen. Lynch attacked her backstage and took her place in the contest. Since returning, Bayley has had a few chances to punish her foe but not found much success.
After all, Lynch is the current Intercontinental Champion and Valkyria can no longer challenge for the belt as as long as ‘The Lass Kicker’ is the champ she lost at SummerSlam. Given this, getting involved in CM Punk and Seth Rollins’ feud would help her neutralise Becky Lynch’s rise. Moreover, it will also help her rise up the ranks again. Additionally, it could give WWE the opportunity to hold off Lee’s impending return for a later date and build more anticipation around it That said this angle is speculative at the moment

CM Punk, meanwhile, is set to appear on SmackDown this week. Given the way he was insulted by Lynch on Raw, one can expect him to drop some of his trademark pipe boms on ‘The Man’. He may also directly comment on AJ Lee’s future plans on the show, which airs from his hometown Chicago.
