AJ Lee Signs WWE Contract, Triple H Welcomes Her Home

For the first time in over a decade, AJ Lee was back on WWE TV on the September 5th episode.
Lee was introduced by her husband CM Punk, and she went after WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch, who has slapped Punk multiple times on WWE Raw and SmackDown.
After running off Lynch, Punk and Lee embraced in the ring.
On social media, Triple H showed footage of Lee signing her WWE contract before her appearance, and took the famous point photo with Lee and Punk after TV.
