CM Punk Says AJ Lee Return to Wrestling Is Unlikely

In an interview with the New York Post, CM Punk shot down rumors that AJ Lee could also return to wrestling as he said that it is unlikely due to why she retired in the first place.

He said: “I just want to say, no. Just because [of] her neck. The reason she stopped wrestling is because of her neck. She’s got a bad neck, you know. I wouldn’t want her to jeopardize [her] health and neither would she, so we’ll put an end to that rumor right now.”

He also commented on the rumors that Bryan Danielson is also on his way to AEW, adding: “That’s somebody that I look at and I go, man wrestling him was always fun. It was never a headache and God I would like to do that again. I would like to do that again soon. It’s a big deal. The guy was in the WrestleMania main event. He’s freshly removed from television. He’s a big deal. He’s a very, very big deal and I think that signals to pro wrestling fans that this is the place to be. This is what I want to watch.“
