In a sweet and heartfelt gesture, former NXT Women’s Tag Team Champion Cora Jade took to social media to send a special Mother’s Day message to none other than AJ Lee, the former WWE Divas Champion. Jade, who has been sidelined due to an injury since January, made it a point to express her admiration and respect for Lee, a trailblazer in women’s professional wrestling.
The message, which simply read “Happy Mom’s Day”, was a nod to the affectionate nickname that both Jade and Roxanne Perez, the current NXT Women’s Champion, have used to refer to Lee. This is not the first time that the two young wrestlers have expressed their admiration for Lee, often referring to her and her husband, CM Punk, as their “Mom” and “Dad” respectively.
Interestingly, Perez recently expressed her hope that Lee would return to the WWE, saying that she couldn’t retire before having a match against the former Divas Champion. This sentiment has been echoed by many fans, who believe that Lee’s return to the world of professional wrestling would be a welcome addition to the sport.
AJ Lee, who has been on hiatus from professional wrestling since 2015, has been the subject of much speculation regarding a potential return to the WWE. Her husband, CM Punk, has made references to her on television since his return to the WWE at the 2023 Survivor Series: WarGames Premium Live Event, further fueling rumors of a potential comeback.
While Lee has not responded to Jade’s Mother’s Day message at the time of writing, it is clear that she holds a special place in the hearts of many wrestlers, including Jade and Perez. As the WWE continues to push the boundaries of women’s professional wrestling, it would be exciting to see a legendary figure like AJ Lee back in the ring, inspiring a new generation of wrestlers.
Only time will tell what the future holds for AJ Lee, but for now, it’s clear that she remains a beloved and respected figure in professional wrestling.
