Former champion reveals she was scanned months before her TV return
Summary
– AJ Lee confirmed she was scanned for WWE 2K26
– She will be playable for the first time since 2K15
– Scan reportedly took place months before her on-screen return
AJ Lee is officially stepping back into the virtual ring.
The former Divas Champion revealed on Instagram that she was quietly scanned for WWE Games months ago, confirming she will be a playable character in WWE 2K26. The announcement ends weeks of speculation about whether her likeness would appear in the upcoming release.
In her post, AJ shared her excitement about seeing her in-game model, noting how surreal it felt to go from creating herself in the character menu years ago to becoming an official playable superstar across multiple generations of the franchise.
Her inclusion marks her first appearance in a WWE video game since WWE 2K15. The timing aligns with her recent return to Monday Night Raw, where she confronted Becky Lynch and secured a Women’s Intercontinental Championship opportunity at Elimination Chamber.
With WWE 2K26 scheduled to launch on March 13 and featuring a CM Punk Showcase mode, AJ’s presence adds another headline name to the roster. The fact that her scan was completed months ago indicates her comeback was planned well in advance.
