Seth Rollins retained his title in Paris with Becky Lynch’s help vs CM Punk, sparking speculation of AJ Lee’s WWE return amid reports of internal pitches.

WWE's return to France for the Clash in Paris on Sunday saw Seth Rollins successfully defend his WWE World Heavyweight Championship against CM Punk, Jey Uso, and LA Knight.

It seemed that the Fatal 4-Way clash between Punk and Rollins was done and dusted with Punk emerging as the winner. However, Rollins' wife, Becky Lynch, emerged and helped Rollins defeat CM Punk.

It sparked speculation on whether CM Punk's wife, AJ Lee, will return to WWE to take revenge on Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch. Even an audience member was seen holding a poster on brining back AJ Lee. In one moment during the broadcast, Seth Rollins was seen looking aggressively at the poster.

While speculations of AJ Lee's possible return to WWE rife, a WWE reporter offered a major scoop on the matter. Sean Ross Sapp, WWE reporter of FightfulSelect, said that the prospect of AJ Lee's return has been brought up in numerous pitches internally.

"AJ Lee has in fact been brought up in numerous pitches internally in WWE, I have learned," he wrote.

AJ Lee—real name April Jeanette Mendez—officially retired from in-ring competition in WWE on April 3, 2015, just days after WrestleMania 31.
