While speaking with The Wrestling Classic, Naomi was asked whether she wanted to see AJ Lee come back to WWE, something that several WWE stars have advocated for and the fans are pushing to see it happen.
During her WWE tenure, Lee won the Divas Championship three times and held the title for 406 days. She left WWE in 2015 and retired due to health issues.
Naomi said, “Of course. I be harassing her husband [CM Punk] about that all the time. I told him, I said, ‘You need to tell her I can’t retire until she comes back.’ Girl, you need to come on because mama’s back is hurting. I can’t retire until she comes back. I’m so for real, and she knows it. It’s crazy. For her to be gone over a decade and to still be missed and to still be wanted so bad, I think [that] speak volumes and just tells you what she did for women’s wrestling and who she was. So I think it’d be a treat, a present, a reward for all of us, having her come back, even if it’s just a ‘hey and bye,’ a quick little [appearance]. We starving, sis.”
