AJ Lee Targeted With Deranged ICE Threats After WWE RAW Return

AJ Lee’s return to WWE television on the November 17 edition of RAW was supposed to be a celebration. Instead, it triggered a disturbing outburst from an unhinged Twitter user who launched a hateful tirade filled with racist and false accusations—going so far as to call for her deportation.

A Twitter user identified as Big Mike began targeting AJ Lee, tagging public figures like Donald Trump, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, and the official ICE account in multiple posts, falsely calling AJ a “violent illegal.” Despite AJ Lee being a U.S. citizen born in Union City, New Jersey, the user demanded that government agencies “do their job” and remove her.

“@realDonaldTrump sir – the illegal @TheAJMendez came out in public and @Sec_Noem @ICEgov did NOTHING! what are you paying these people for if they’re not going to do their job and get rid of violent illegals?”

He continued the rant in another tweet, again tagging Trump, Noem, and ICE:

“Hey @Sec_Noem @ICEgov y’all gonna do your job? @realDonaldTrump.”

The situation spiraled further as the same person bizarrely turned on both AJ Lee and her husband CM Punk, calling them personal disappointments:

“Him and @TheAJMendez are probably the biggest disappointments to me. It’s my fault for ever believing in them, I know.”

The user then attempted to link AJ to federal immigration violence, tagging her in a video of ICE agents tasing a woman and claiming she was responsible simply because she works for WWE.

“@TheAJMendez the company you work for supports this. You are complicit.”

And the harassment wasn’t new. In a tweet from back in October, the same account accused AJ of “coming out of hiding” and called on ICE to target her.

“Oh s**—@TheAJMendez came out of hiding? @ICEgov get her!!”*

These repeated and baseless attacks against AJ Lee have caused concern among fans, especially considering her very public and well-respected role in both wrestling and mental health advocacy. What was meant to be a triumphant moment has now been overshadowed by a deranged online campaign rooted in racism, xenophobia, and obsession.

AJ Lee has not responded publicly to the harassment, but support continues to pour in from fans who want nothing more than to see her safe and celebrated—not targeted by hateful lies.

What action do you think should be taken against fans who harass wrestlers with false accusations? Should platforms step in sooner, or is this something WWE should directly address? Let us know in the comments.
