AEW star reacts to AJ Lee's huge WWE return after 3812 days on SmackDown

Moments ago on SmackDown, AJ Lee made her return to WWE after more than 10 years. An AEW star has just reacted to this major moment as a fan and showed why this meant a lot to them.

The former Divas Champion has not competed in the ring since March 30, 2015, when she fought in an episode of Monday Night RAW. Tonight, she made her long-awaited return after 3812 days and came to the aid of her husband, CM Punk. Punk has found backup close to home for his feud with Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch.

AEW star Kiera Hogan reacted to this moment on X/Twitter. She posted a teary-eyed emoji and a bunch of heart emojis to express how she felt after this, and even posted a throwback photo of herself. This was her seemingly trying to embody AJ Lee when she was younger, even copying her iconic pigtails.

See her post below.

AJ Lee has hinted at her future plans in WWE

AJ Lee did not hesitate to step up to Becky Lynch tonight. This was after The Man did all she could to make fun of her husband, and even went as far as slapping Punk repeatedly to get him to lose his cool.

After the brief skirmish between Lee and Lynch, the Women's Intercontinental Championship was left in the middle of the ring. AJ picked it up and admired it before bringing it along with her as she exited the ring. This may be a hint of her interest in the championship belt.

As of now, it looks like the goal is for the two married couples to face off in a mixed tag team match, potentially at Wrestlepalooza in a few weeks. Once this is over, this may lead to both AJ Lee and Becky Lynch facing off for the Women's Intercontinental Championship, given that this is not going to be a one-off for the former WWE Divas Champion.

If allowed to produce one final storyline involving his idols, he would have Orton lock horns with John Cena, would be their one last big feud as both of them seem to be approaching the tail end of their careers.
