CM Punk had made an appearance to WWE television on 13 November shocking the world of professional wrestling.
The two-time champion, who last appeared for the promotion in 2014, made a surprise return at the close of the Fox Sports 1 program WWE Backstage.
Following his return on WWE Backstage, fans began asking his wife and former Divas Champion AJ Lee to make a return to WWE as well.

However, Lee was quiet throughout the week as fans kept asking her to come back. She then decided to take to Twitter on Sunday and post her own views on the speculations.
She tweeted, "Been offline. What did I miss?"
