AJ Lee's WWE appearances recently have been among the biggest stories in professional wrestling, with many fans celebrating her official return to the ring.
After 10 years away from the company, she's yet to compete in any official matches, but as of Monday's Raw, a match that many people expected was set up for this month.
AJ and her husband, CM Punk, will team up in a mixed gender tag team match against Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins.

That will be an anticipated clash as part of the Wrestlepalooza card in Indianapolis, which marks the first WWE premium live event on ESPN.
Meanwhile, there might be a line forming of other WWE stars who are interested in working with or against AJ Lee. Could one of them be Roxanne Perez?
...
Following Monday's Raw, Roxanne shared a four-word message as a response to her co-star, Cathy Kelley, asking if anyone had checked on her.
The reason for Cathy's message was due to Roxanne being able to see AJ as part of WWE Raw.
"Oh, I'm so good," Roxanne wrote, also sharing three photos.
As seen below, those images feature Roxanne with AJ as she got to hang out with CM Punk's wife. She's all smiles as she hugs AJ and poses for a selfie with her.
It's become known that Roxanne is a big fan of AJ Lee and Punk. He's often referred to jokingly as Roxanne's father due to his age, which jokingly makes AJ Roxanne's mother.
Roxanne and AJ previously met years ago, before Roxanne was even associated with NXT or WWE, so this was a reunion that was a long time in the making.
The recent photos recreated Roxanne's starstruck meeting from 10 years ago.
There's also an interesting in-ring incident that occurred at a WWE house show, where Roxanne interfered on behalf of fellow Judgement Day member Dominick Mysterio and hit her move, Pop Rox, on CM Punk. Since the ref was distracted during it all, Dom tried to capture a pinfall after the move.
"Hi mom," Roxanne said in a message online, as she shared the highlight clip of her move on Punk.
That prompted a short response on social media from AJ ahead of her big return on last week's SmackDown.
"My daughter has never done a single thing wrong in her entire life," AJ posted as a reply on X to the house show video clip.
In another video that circulated on X, Roxanne is shown smiling on the ring apron as AJ appears on the big screen during Raw.
AJ and Roxanne could face off in a match down the road, although nothing is announced. Right now, based on the photo evidence, there are no hard feelings about Roxanne attempting to thwart AJ's husband's win in the match.
