Not that we want Naomi to retire, but come on AJ!
Former three-time Divas Champion AJ Lee is someone who fans have been chomping at the bit to return. Ever since she retired in 2015, fans have wanted her back. The probability of it happening has increased due to her husband, CM Punk, returning to the company in 2023. Yet, still no Ms. Lee.
Naomi is just one of many women who want her back. While speaking with The Wrestling Classic, Naomi said the following –
“Of course. I be harassing her husband [CM Punk] about that all the time. I told him, I said, ‘You need to tell her I can’t retire until she comes back.’ Girl, you need to come on because mama’s back is hurting. I can’t retire until she comes back. I’m so for real, and she knows it. It’s crazy. For her to be gone over a decade and to still be missed and to still be wanted so bad, I think speak volumes and just tells you what she did for women’s wrestling and who she was. So I think it’d be a treat, a present, a reward for all of us, having her come back, even if it’s just a ‘hey and bye,’ a quick little [appearance]. We starving, sis [laughs],” Naomi said.

Naomi was part of AJ’s last match in WWE. They teamed up along with Paige to defeat The Bella Twins and Natalya. At Night of Champions, Naomi had a chance at the Divas Title in a Fatal Four Way against the champion AJ. This match also included Brie Bella and Natalya.
