CM Punk’s unexpected WWE return gave fans hope that his wife and former WWE superstar, AJ Lee, might also return to the company. However, Punk has shut down the conversation of fans seeing him and his wife together on WWE television.
In an interview with TV Insider, The Best in the World revealed that two things have been the key to his successful marriage. “There are really two things me and my wife don’t do together. One is to work out and the other is to work together. It’s really the perfect relationship.”

AJ Lee and CM Punk’s relationship began in the early 2010s. It happened when the duo was paired for a storyline on Monday Night RAW. At the time, Punk was the WWE Champion, while Lee was one of the top stars of the women’s division.
The former Divas champ continued to work for WWE for a few months after Punk’s walkout in 2014. That same year, AJ and Punk got married, which was also the same day he received his termination papers. “The Second City Saint” has often credited Lee as a strong pillar in his life.
As of now, AJ Lee has been busy with her life outside wrestling. This includes comic books, film, and television projects. On the other hand, CM Punk is thriving as a top attraction on Monday Night RAW. Moreover, he recently won a Gauntlet match on the July 14 edition of the show. With his victory, Punk has earned the right to challenge Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam this year.
This will be a major showdown for the first-ever two-night edition of the show. So, it remains to be seen if CM Punk can once again call him World Champion after many years.
