• A wave of nostalgia swept through wrestling fans as AJ Lee and her former tag team partner Kaitlyn reunited at The Big Event convention in New York.
The moment, captured and shared by AJ Lee on her Instagram Story, sent longtime followers into a frenzy, reminiscing about the duo’s iconic run in WWE.
AJ Lee, who last competed in a WWE ring a decade ago, first made her mark on NXT Season 3 in 2010. She and Kaitlyn initially formed a popular tag team on SmackDown known as The Chick Busters, showcasing their chemistry and friendship.
However, their alliance eventually evolved into a heated rivalry, leading to a series of memorable matches for the Divas Championship in 2013. AJ Lee’s victory over Kaitlyn at Payback, securing her first Divas Title, remains a highlight of their storied feud.
The reunion has rekindled fervent speculation about a potential in-ring return for AJ Lee. Her absence from wrestling has been keenly felt, and the sight of her alongside Kaitlyn has reignited hopes of a comeback. Adding to the buzz, several current WWE stars, including Bayley, Roxanne Perez, and Cora Jade, have publicly expressed their desire to see AJ Lee back in action.
While there’s no indication that a return is imminent, the reunion serves as a powerful reminder of AJ Lee’s impact on women’s wrestling. The outpouring of fan excitement and the vocal support from current WWE talent highlight the enduring legacy of The Chick Busters and the lasting appeal of AJ Lee’s in-ring persona.
