CM Punk and AJ Lee Team Up at Wrestlepalooza After Decade-Long Absence

Indianapolis, Indiana — WWE superstar CM Punk and his wife, AJ Lee, will compete together for the first time in over a decade at Wrestlepalooza this Saturday. This exciting match will see the couple face off against fellow power couple Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch in a mixed tag team contest.
The public saw Punk and Lee wrestling together as a once-unimaginable event. The two wrestlers have been married since June 13, 2014, after starting their relationship in 2013. They first crossed paths in WWE when Lee joined the company in 2011, where they were involved in various storylines, including a memorable on-screen kiss.
Speaking about Lee’s return to the ring, Punk expressed his joy in a recent interview, stating, “I’m having the time of my life. It’s a dream come true to have her back in this environment with me at work.” He praised her commitment to getting into shape, calling her “inspirational” for her determination and hard work.
AJ Lee, who retired in 2015 due to a career-threatening neck injury, noted that the challenge of competing against Lynch and the new chapter WWE has embarked upon on ESPN prompted her return. “Starting this new chapter feels like a whole new mountain the company needs to climb,” she said.
As excitement builds for the match, Punk emphasized how thrilling it is for him to share this experience with his wife. He highlighted Lee’s impressive physical preparation and expressed confidence that she would bring her unique wrestling style to the ring.
The match marks AJ Lee’s first appearance in a WWE ring since her retirement, a moment anticipated by fans for years. The couple’s return to the squared circle will be one of the highlighted events at Wrestlepalooza.
