So today we’ll be taking a look at a handful of stories regarding AJ Lee, Roman Reigns,
and even Megan The Stallion
For today’s question of the day: who would you book AJ Lee against if she came back for
one last match?
So let’s start off with this story about AJ Lee and Sasha Banks
The Bella Twins played a big role in the WWE during the 2010s, but also right there neck
and neck with them in overall popularity during that time was AJ Lee
AJ Lee absolutely dominated the WWE during her extremely short main roster career
AJ Lee won multiple titles and was involved in so many storylines with big superstars
like John Cena, Daniel Bryan, CM Punk, Kane, Paige, The Bellas, Bayley, and so much more
The craziest stat about AJ’s WWE career was that it was just four years long, that
was it
All of those memories, all those crazy storylines and moments all happened within such a short
amount of time
She unexpectedly retired in 2015 for a a handful of reasons
She felt like she accomplished all that she wanted in WWE, she wanted to pursue other
things, and of course all the backstage tension because over CM Punk drove her out the door
even faster
So it was a shock retirement, not injury related or anything like that, just a complete bombshell
that happened over night
So there was never a proper send-off, a farewell tour, or an actual last match
Her last match was just a random 6 woman tag match, but AJ did something she never did
before during that match, she wore someone’s shirt, she wore Bayley’s shirt to the ring
And when you go back and look at that, it was meant to symbolize a passing of the touch,
sort of saying “I’m gone, but here’s who’s up next”
And AJ was right, just over a year later, Bayley debuts and has been dominating WWE
ever since
But what still doesn’t sit right with the fans is that AJ Lee left only a few months
before Becky Lynch, Charlotte, Sasha Banks and others were all called up
So if only AJ had waited just a few months, we probably would’ve seen some of those
dream matches against Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch, Charlotte and more
AJ Lee went viral and went trending this week after Sasha Banks posted a picture of a Summerslam
graphic with the caption of “Let’s Light It Up”
Now Sasha most likely had no intention to relate that tweet to AJ Lee, but the fans
did because Sasha’s caption there for that tweet is literally the opening line for AJ
Lee’s WWE theme song
So that’s what the fans came up with when they saw Sasha’s tweet
Everyone wants to see AJ return to the ring one day, that’s for sure, but you gotta
look at it from a realistic point of view especially with CM Punk in AEW now, there’s
no chance of AJ ever appearing for WWE again
If she returns to WWE while CM Punk is in AEW, she would be putting herself right back
in that awkward position that she ran away from in 2015, maybe even worse this time around,
so it just doesn’t make sense for her to put herself back in that same spot
If AJ is gonna ever return to the ring, it only makes sense now for it to happen In AEW
last time AJ talked about a wrestling return was summer of 2019.
AJ said that she’s not gonna say ‘never’ because she’s done a lot of things she thought
she never do, so she left the possibility very open-ended
But if AJ did ever return, WWE or AEW, there’s an insane amount of new talent and great matchups
on both sides
Would you like to see AJ Lee return to the ring one day?

WWE Summerslam was a still big success this year, but in terms of WWE acquiring celebrity
guests for the show, they ran into some failure and bad luck
Wrestlemania was flooded with a lot of pop culture stars such as Bad Bunny and Logan
Paul
Well it seemed like WWE wanted to make that same thing happened for Summerslam
Cardi B was the target. That’s why it seemed like WWE started to break the ice by using
her song “up” to serve as WWE’s one and only Summerslam theme
Reports from several months ago claimed that WWE was going after Cardi B to not only appear
at Summerslam, but to be the host for the entire night
Cardi B has said on several occasions that she’s willing to work with WWE if they cut
the proper check
So everything seemed to be on pace to make that happened, but then Cardi B announced
that she was pregnant with her second child and the Summerslam hosting gig sort of went
right out the window for WWE
Then it looked like WWE started to close in on Grammy award winning Rapper, Megan The
Stallion, to serve as their big celebrity guest for Summerslam
Megan’s connection to WWE started when she and Bianca Belair both posted pictures together
backstage at a music festival a few weeks back
The pictures went viral online between Megan’s massive fanbase and WWE’s entire fanbase
WWE was hyped right away and even featured the pictures during Smackdown’s broadcast
That seems to be how they are as well. A celebrity references WWE or takes a picture with one
of WWE’s talent and WWE seems to insanely go after them to make an appearance
That’s how the story went with Cardi B, Bad Bunny, and Logan Paul
Reports claim that conversation to bring Megan The Stallion allegedly began but that plans
fell through at the last second and Megan had to pull out
So unfortunately, things didn’t go as well for WWE at Summerslam in terms of celebrity
appearances
They couldn’t get their first option, they couldn’t get their second option, so they
had to turn to a few last resort options
But WWE’s long road to Cardi B continues, they weren’t able to get her this time around,
but maybe sometime next year they will get it done
We will see Cardi B make a WWE appearance one day because both sides want it to happen

Roman Reigns has a lot of people talking this week after he made some eye opening comments
during an interview with BT Sport
Roman Reigns has this to say during that interview:
"These statements are coming from people who thought they were better than they were. CM
Punk wasn't as good or over as John Cena, he didn't move the needle like The Rock."
These comments were made at a very interesting time, just around the days leading up to CM
Punk’s AEW debut
And these comments from Roman started up a big debate online between fans that agreed
with Roman and fans that didn’t
But it’s just really hard to ignore what CM Punk did and what he became starting with
Summer of Punk in 2011
The pipebomb promo is one of the most popular promos in recent history
Sites and dirtsheets crashed that following day because everyone was talking about that
promo and what had happened
Then you follow that up with several weeks later with one of the most memorable matches
of all time, CM Punk vs John Cena at Money In The Bank 2011 in Chicago
That was probably one of the most memorable matches and moments in WWE recent history
Then his entire 434 day title reign, his final Wrestlemania match with The Undertaker, and
everything else he accomplished
Now you look at all the hype and interest that he’s bringing over to AEW, so it’s
really some really interesting comments there by Roman Reigns to say that CM Punk isn’t
a draw and can’t move the needle, but we’ll see what impact Punk has on AEW and if he’ll
continue to prove Roman Reigns wrong
Roman Reigns looks to successfully defend his title against John Cena at Summerslam
and continue his year long title reign
Who can be next for Roman Reigns after John Cena? Maybe Seth Rollins, maybe someone completely
unexpected, but we’ll have to wait and see
Do you agree or disagree with Roman Reigns? And what are you thoughts on today’s other
stories with AJ Lee and Megan The Stallion as well
