Former Divas Champion AJ Lee shocked the world when she made a comeback to WWE last year. The veteran’s last appearance was at Survivor Series: WarGames, when she helped her team pin former Women’s Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch and win the WarGames match. While a feud between Lee and Lynch has been expected for months now, the company is potentially saving it for a bigger stage.
AJ Lee has not worked as a full-time performer since her return, unlike her husband. This has made fans question if the star’s return won’t be a full-time run before she calls ita day yet again to mark her retirement.
A new update from Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select has made things clear. As per the latest update, the contract Lee had signed with WWE didn’t have the term ‘full-time’. This disappointing update makes it clear that the veteran is not supposed to work as a full-time performer. She is in a similar role to the likes of Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar.
AJ Lee’s long-term contract with WWE is not a “full-time” contract.

When will WWE feature AJ Lee vs Becky Lynch?
With Royal Rumble around the corner, the company could once again heat up the feud between Lee and Lynch, this time with the latter getting the upper hand. The Man could potentially eliminate Lee from the Women’s Royal Rumble match to heat up their feud, which could potentially lead to a massive storyline.
This could further end up being the perfect way to step into WrestleMania with AJ Lee vs Becky Lynch set to make headlines. A potential story like this could garner a lot of attention from fans around the world, making it the potential main event of the show. Time will tell what the company has in store for the star next.
