Many fans expected AJ Lee and Becky Lynch to continue their rivalry on the December 1 episode of "Raw," but the former Divas Champion was nowhere to be seen. According to a report by Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful , this absence is not a sign of deviation from their storyline, but rather stems from the specific nature of her contract.

Speaking on Fighful’s post-show review, Sapp confirmed that Lee will continue to "pop in and out" of programming, noting that there was never a deal between both parties for a full-time comeback.

"So AJ Lee will come and go. When I saw people posting right after her return saying, ‘Oh, she’s back and it’s full time,’ I was like, ‘Hold on, partner, before we giddy up here.’ That’s not what I was hearing," Sapp said.
