WWE Reaches Out To AJ Lee About Appearing At Upcoming Evolution PPV

WWE recently announced their first-ever all women’s PPV Evolution, which will be taking place in October from the Nassau Coliseum in Long Island, NY.

As you would expect WWE is planning to pull out all the stops for this event, as we have already started to see with the announcement of WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus’ return to singles action for the first time in seven years, as she takes on former RAW Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss on the show.

Following the announcement of the Evolution PPV, WWE released a poll where they asked fans which former WWE Female Superstars they would like to return at Evolution. Interestingly enough, one of the names included in the poll was AJ Lee.

One would expect that the chances of AJ Lee making a return to wrestling, even for one night seem pretty slim especially considering the long drawn out and expensive legal battle her husband CM Punk just went through with WWE. However, AJ Lee’s possible appearance at Evolution might actually be a lot closer to a reality than you’d think.

Recently on Barn Burner‘s No Holds Barred podcast the host Joseph Peisich revealed that WWE has in fact reached out to AJ Lee about a return at Evolution, and his sources told him that they are closing in on a deal.

Regarding AJ Lee’s potential WWE return at Evolution, Peisich said:

“Vince McMahon picked up the phone and he reached out to AJ Lee about returning at the Evolution pay-per-view. AJ has not confirmed or denied that. Sources tell me they’re closing in on a deal with AJ Lee.”

Reby Hardy Says “Decision To Be Made” On Woken Matt’s In-Ring Future (VIDEO)

Reby Hardy revealed husband Matt Hardy’s WWE contract is up in March, and he’ll likely need to decide soon whether to keep wrestling or hang it up.

Hardy spoke with the Busted Open crew over the weekend about her husband’s current status. As you may have noticed, Matt tweeted a photo of himself working backstage at SummerSlam, which you can see above.

Reby called his current status a “transitional” period.

“He’s not really sure what he going to be doing,” she said. “His contract is up in March, which I’m not sure many people are aware of, but there’s sort of a decision to be made at this point as to whether or not he should continue his in-ring career or if he should pursue something different.”

Reby made it clear Matt isn’t upset about the pending transition, saying he’d be “totally up for it.”

“[He] would be excited to do [it], I feel like, so he’s kind of giving it a go right now backstage. He’s at Summerslam. He’s not on the card but he’s there, and we’re kind of going to see from here,” she added. “It’s really a transitional time right now.”

Last week, Hardy tweeted a goodbye message to former tag team partner Bray Wyatt. He’s also been pretty sentimental on social media posting pictures from throughout his career.

The Shield reunited at the end of RAW last night to help Roman Reigns fight of a attempt by Braun Strowman to cash in his MITB title shot.

Dean Ambrose and WWE Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins came out in their Shield gear right as Braun Strowman was about to cash in his Money In the Bank contract on WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns following his win over Finn Balor. The Shield destroyed Braun before he could cash in and ended the show by putting him through an announce table with a triple powerbomb.

Strowman posted a warning to The Shield on Twitter:
