    AJ Lee Among Names Quietly Shifted to Free Agent Status on WWE’s Roster Page

    AJ Lee, Paige, Nikki Bella, and Brie Bella have all been moved to the free agents section on the WWE website, joining Danhausen, Oba Femi, and Omos in that category on the company’s official roster page.

    The change represents a notable shift in how WWE is categorizing several performers who have been part of recent programming. Lee returned to WWE in September 2025 after nearly a decade away, feuded with Becky Lynch, and won the Women’s Intercontinental Championship at Elimination Chamber before losing it back to Lynch at WrestleMania 42. She subsequently posted that she was taking time away from WWE but would be back soon, leaving her status genuinely open-ended rather than indicating a permanent departure.

    Paige’s appearance in the free agents section is equally notable given the significance of her recent return. She stepped in at WrestleMania 42 as a replacement for Nikki Bella, who was unable to compete due to a foot injury, making it her first WWE match since 2017 and her first appearance since being medically cleared for in-ring competition. Paige had broken ground outside of WWE at AEW Full Gear 2023, competing in a ring for the first time after clearance before transitioning back to a full-time competitor role.

    Nikki Bella made her comeback to WWE last year and had been building toward WrestleMania 42 before the foot injury derailed her plans. Brie officially signed a new deal with the company earlier this year as the Bella Twins attempted to run one final chapter together in WWE. Both now appear in the free agents section alongside their partners in the tag division.

  • Latest On Anna Jay AEW Contract

    Anna Jay\’s contract is not up until next year.

    Fightful Select had reported last month that the former Dark Order member had her deal expiring sometime soon, and that she was open to exploring free agency options.

    The site provided an update on the matter recently, revealing that it\’ll actually be a few months before the young star might be able to make a move.

    According to the latest report, Anna Jay\’s contract is actually not expiring this year, and instead, it is expected to end sometime in the spring of 2026.

    The longtime AEW star had been teaming with Tay Melo in recent months. The duo was part of the Tournament to crown the Inaugural Women\’s Tag Team Champions.

    Though they lost the first-round match during the November 19 episode of Collision. While Melo wrestled another match for the company after this, Jay has not been seen in an AEW ring since.

    Anna Jay has been a regular for AEW for the past 5 years. She officially joined the company in 2020 and has been part of the Dark Order and Jericho Appreciation Society factions.

    Whether or not Jay ends up leaving the promotion will be revealed in time. Her recent absence from the company in the meantime is definitely going to fuel rumors about her future.
