With rumors circulating that WWE could see the return of AJ Lee in the near future, it would be wise for her to get a new tag team partner.
From familiar faces from the past to alliances to still up-and-coming names who have cited AJ Lee as an inspiration in the past – there are some exciting ideas about who the former Divas Champion could align with.
Here are seven potential tag team partners for AJ Lee in WWE.
7. Bayley
After a series of setbacks – including missing out on WrestleMania 41 and SummerSlam – it seems changes are afoot for Bayley.
While recent vignettes have teased a potential shift in her character – maybe the shift isn’t as dastardly as it has seemed.
While the videos featured Bayley seemingly caught in a mental argument between past iterations of herself – it could end up that she comes to the conclusion she should now “be herself”.
A noted real-life fan of AJ Lee, Bayley could link up with the former WWE Divas Champion to target Becky Lynch.

6. Roxanne Perez
One WWE star that has been very open about her fandom for AJ Lee is Roxanne Perez.
While Lee will undoubtedly be returning to WWE to a heroes welcome, she will certainly be presented as a babyface.
Accordingly, this partnership would need a shift in Perez’s current character – which could be easily accomplished through a falling out with Judgment Day.
Whether through betrayal or just a change of heart – Perez could definitely turn babyface for an alliance with AJ Lee.

5. Paige
After departing WWE where she was known as Paige, Saraya would return to in-ring competition in AEW under her real first name.
Since she is now no longer contracted with AEW, fans continue to hope for her return – one that now seems potentially even more possible with the rumors of the return of AJ Lee.
Potentially popping up related to Becky’s recent disrespect of the past trailblazers of the WWE Women’s division, Paige could have an axe to grind with Lynch as well.
Given their returns to competition after seemingly career ending injuries, an AJ Lee & Paige tag team in 2025 would be particularly heartwarming.

4. Jade Cargill
With rumors circulating that AJ Lee could appear on WWE TV as early as WWE SmackDown on September 5 in Chicago – she could always encounter a familiar face backstage.
Notably with a warm relationship with CM Punk, it would make total sense for Jade Cargill to link up with AJ Lee.
Able to join forces to make a formidable tag team against any foes, their alliance could prove handy at some later date when Punk & Lee might need back-up against The Vision on WWE Raw.
Whether for a one-off match or as a longer storyline, AJ Lee & Jade Cargill would make a team with huge star power.

3. Rhea Ripley
While the return of AJ Lee has certainly been teased – it has not been officially confirmed.
However one female ally that could join forces with CM Punk or AJ Lee is Rhea Ripley.
Notably in a backstage segment on WWE Raw after Clash in Paris, Rhea offered her support to Punk.
A tag team that could undoubtedly break the internet – AJ Lee & Rhea Ripley could be an iconic joining of generations.

2. Nikki Bella
One intriguing alliance could be between Nikki Bella and AJ Lee.
Having shared the ring many times in the past, the duo were typically fighting one another.
Although the two were rivals in the past, they could create a new alliance against common enemy Becky Lynch.
With fans proving that they enjoy an unlikely alliance – see Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair’s continued successful reign as WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions – the reunion could be unexpected magic.

1. Stephanie Vaquer
One of the most popular up and coming stars in WWE, Stephanie Vaquer is on the verge of a big opportunity.
Set to clash with IYO SKY for her first shot at the WWE Women’s World Championship at Wrestlepalooza – Vaquer could find herself needing some backup.
Making for a fun alliance for a match here or there, Vaquer & Lee don’t need a ton of storyline rationale for their partnership beyond mutual respect for wrestling.
A dream pairing that would have seemed seemingly impossible only months ago – the potential return of AJ Lee to WWE has created some exciting prospects!
