Summary

AJ Lee says she would like to revisit some of the rivalries from her earlier WWE run, specifically naming The Bella Twins and Naomi as opponents she still wants to face again.

In a new interview, Lee said fans would likely want to see those matchups return, and she singled out Naomi as one of the wrestlers who always brought out her best work in the ring.

Lee also looked beyond familiar names and said she would welcome matches with Lyra Valkyria, Roxanne Perez, Liv Morgan, Stephanie Vaquer, and Rhea Ripley.

The source text also notes that Lee is set to defend the Women's Intercontinental Championship against Becky Lynch on night one of WrestleMania 42.

AJ Lee naming The Bella Twins and Naomi keeps several WWE directions alive

AJ Lee publicly naming The Bella Twins and Naomi gives WWE a clear set of nostalgia-driven matches it can revisit after WrestleMania 42, especially because she framed those pairings as unfinished business rather than a closed chapter.

Her second group of names matters too, because linking Lyra Valkyria, Roxanne Perez, Liv Morgan, Stephanie Vaquer, and Rhea Ripley to the same conversation positions Lee as part of WWE's current women's title mix, not just a returning legend looking backward.

That broader conversation around established stars and what comes next has shown up elsewhere recently, including Kenny Omega saying he was ready for an AEW office role if he could not wrestle again.

Quote from AJ Lee

"I think the fans would really love to see me and the Bellas again, or me and Naomi. We never really got to like kill it, but she is just one of those people who every time I was in the ring with her, I felt so at my absolute best. She brings that out of you."

Lee later went on to say:

"There’s such [an abundance of] wonderful, exciting new talent that I think can show me so much. The way [her generation] maybe started an evolution, they continue it and then now we can learn from them. And it’s this really cool circle of moving the business forward. So I’d love to get in there with Lyra and Roxanne and Liv and Stephanie and Rhea. Gosh, there’s so many people that I would just [be] a blast to work with."
