Have the odds of an AJ Lee comeback increased now that her husband CM Punk is back in WWE?

Punk seems to think so, as recently revealed to Peter Rosenberg during an appearance on the Cheap Heat podcast.

"Yeah, I would say it definitely did. It's more of a workload thing for her. She is very busy. I'm not trying to not talk about it, but I'm also trying to temper people's expectations. If she wraps up some stuff that she's working on and she has the time and she feels like dipping her toe back in or jumping back in the pool, she'll let us know," Punk said.

"Her and I are similar in the regard that we're out of time. You could pluck us both off from where we started and put us in any kind of era. I definitely think she would thrive here. She thrived back then when the focus wasn't women, and this past week, every single television show we had opened with a women's match and main evented with a women's match. You can't tell me she wouldn't fit in there."

WWE are reportedly interested in bringing AJ Lee back.
