AJ Lee has been away from WWE television since competing at Wrestlepalooza in September. Since then, the WWE Universe has been wondering when the former Divas Champion could return. While some speculate the post-Survivor Series period to be the time for her comeback, others believe next year's Royal Rumble could be where Lee makes her much-awaited return.

However, Triple H may have subtly spoiled The Black Widow's WWE return. The wrestling world thrives on surprises, but it also rewards those who can read between the lines. Just a month ago, Dave Meltzer reported that NXT star Lash Legend would join Nia Jax in the Women's WarGames Match at this year's Survivor Series. Well, it seemed far-fetched at that point.

Last night on SmackDown, Legend actually debuted on SmackDown and aligned herself with Jax, turning those rumors into reality. The legitimacy of that scoop has now cast a spotlight on Dave Meltzer's second big claim from the same report. The veteran journalist stated that AJ Lee will compete in the Women's WarGames Match, being part of the babyface team.

By bringing Lash Legend to SmackDown ahead of Survivor Series, Triple H has subtly given a nod to Meltzer's report. The Game may have spoiled that AJ Lee will return to the company on an upcoming episode of Monday Night RAW ahead of Survivor Series. WWE may have furtively told the fans that their wait to see the former Divas Champion will not be much longer.

The speculation regarding "when and where" Lee could show up next has been nuancedly answered. The Women's WarGames match is expected to shape up the same way Dave Meltzer reported a month ago. Hence, the former Divas Champion can make an electrifying return this month and get involved in the buildup for Survivor Series: WarGames.

Triple H may keep AJ Lee's WWE appearances very rare

AJ Lee made a blockbuster return to WWE this year and it was a move that brought shockwaves in pro wrestling. Since then, she has rarely been seen on television. The 38-year-old made his last appearance at Wrestlepalooza in September, where she competed in a Mixed Tag Team Match.

It looks like Triple H may keep the former Divas Champion's appearances in WWE very rare. AJ Lee is one of the biggest names in pro wrestling and brings massive eyeballs along with her. Her popularity extends beyond the wrestling realm and the WWE Universe clamors to see her on television.

The Stamford-based promotion might want to keep Lee's appearances limited on the WWE shows in order to keep her exclusivity intact. Superstars who show up rarely often bring more hype and buzz around their return. Triple H might be looking to apply that same formula for the former Divas Champion.

The company may use AJ Lee as a special attraction for major events. Besides, the RAW and SmackDown women's divisions don't necessarily need her weekly presence, though it would be an exciting prospect. Therefore, the company could use Lee only for bigger occasions to generate buzz and draw crowds.
