Survivor Series is on the horizon, and rumors about AJ Lee's return have been buzzing loudly. The former Divas Champion will reportedly take part in the Women's WarGames Match this year at the annual spectacle. Therefore, she is expected to return either on tonight's RAW or next week to join the babyface team and get involved in the buildup of this marquee match.

However, Triple H may be forced to put Lee's return on hold. There are several reasons why The Game might do that. The babyface team of the Women's WarGames is currently short of two members after Charlotte Flair refused to join Rhea Ripley's squad last week. WWE is currently showcasing tensions between Flair and Ripley, citing their deep-rooted history.

However, The Queen is expected to join the babyface team eventually. For that to happen, the company needs adequate time to showcase how Charlotte Flair buries the hatchet with Rhea Ripley. WWE needs at least two episodes of RAW for a proper succession in this storyline. Bringing AJ Lee back at this point, when Flair's story is in progress, would make things cluttered.

Hence, Triple H might have to put a hold on Lee's return for now. Besides, the upcoming episodes of RAW are expected to see some marquee returns, including that of Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar. Therefore, WWE piling up all the big things for the pre-Survivor Series period would not be very beneficial when the company can save a few for the annual spectacle.

Therefore, Triple H may be forced to postpone the former Divas Champion's homecoming. Instead of bringing AJ Lee on the road to Survivor Series, the company can book it as a surprise return at the premium live event. Lee could show up as the mystery fifth member of the babyface team during the Women's WarGames Match in San Diego.

Triple H may sow the seeds of AJ Lee vs. Becky Lynch at Survivor Series

There is a high chance that Triple H could use Survivor Series to sow the seeds of their eventual match. WWE often uses multi-person matches as a springboard to elevate rivalries or feuds and to build singles matches. It gives the company a great opportunity to lay the foundation for future clashes.

AJ Lee and Becky Lynch are currently expected to compete in the Women's WarGames this year. While the former Divas Champion may join Rhea Ripley's squad, The Man could join Team Asuka. The creative team could showcase an intriguing angle between the two at Survivor Series, which could ignite their storyline.

This could eventually lead their rivalry to the Royal Rumble 2025 season, where Lee and Lynch could compete in a series of matches. It will be interesting to see how things shape up in the coming weeks leading up to Survivor Series.
