The wrestling world was rocked when CM Punk returned to WWE at Money in the Bank. After months of uncertainty and layoffs due to injury, Punk returned to the spotlight and shocked fans and competitors alike by disrupting a World Heavyweight Championship match. Expectations are growing for his return since his last appearance at the Royal Rumble in January 2024.
Punk spoke to AJ Lee at the event after the show
After his surprise appearance, the media rushed to discuss all kinds of punk topics, but one question was the most talked about: the whereabouts and return of his wife, AJ Lee. The former WWE diva, who retired from professional wrestling in 2015, has been a hot topic, with fans eagerly awaiting her return to the ring.
Punk answered the questions with humor and honesty. “You should ask my wife, but she’s not here. She’s taking care of Larry,” Punk joked, referring to their beloved dog. He continued: “Everything depends on him. He is very hardworking; I am very proud of him. He does his own thing. I don’t know if I’m allowed to talk about these things. He founded a production company that produces television and movies.”
AJ Lee’s latest venture in the entertainment industry
Punk’s revelation highlights AJ Lee’s dramatic transition from wrestling to the entertainment industry. Since leaving WWE, Lee has devoted himself to establishing his own production company, focusing on producing television shows and movies. This career transition has kept him very busy, and a return to WWE is unlikely soon. Despite this, Punk admitted that fans appreciate Lee and his wrestling skills. “He’s very popular in the company and I’m a fan of his wrestling. I want to see him again, but he has it,” he added, leaving a glimmer of hope for those who want him back.
The drama of the return of punk and its consequences
CM Punk’s return at Money in the Bank is not only a huge event for the fans but also a great opportunity for the development of WWE. His meddling in the championships shows his ability to stir up controversy and fuel legends. However, this isn’t the first time punk has made headlines recently.
Punk’s brief appearance at Castle Battle sparked rumors of his return. The stress was palpable, especially after a confrontation with Drew McIntyre on SmackDown left Punk bleeding and questioning his readiness to compete. The incident blurred the line between reality and WWE script, showing Punk’s ability to hold the audience.
Breaking down the Kayfabe Controversy
One of the most talked about moments of his comeback was when Punk suddenly broke kayfabe. After McIntyre’s brutal attack, Punk was seen leaving the arena in good health, a sight that contradicted previous reports of his condition. This led to debate among fans and critics about the fairness of WWE’s reporting practices.
Shortly after the big hit, Punk appeared undead, accidentally revealing the world wrestling was made of. These acts of kayfabe destruction, intentional or not, add layers of intrigue to his character, leaving fans wondering about his physical appearance and the direction of the story.
The future of CM Punk and AJ Lee
As CM Punk continues his return to the WWE, AJ Lee’s return remains exciting. Her current look at her production company shows that she is happy with her new direction, but the door is still open for a return that could take the wrestling world by storm.
Punk admires and respects his wife’s talent, although he hasn’t made any promises, seeing AJ Lee return to a WWE ring is something that fans have been waiting for. Today, Punk’s journey is an interesting one, full of unexpected twists, dramatic feuds, and the enduring appeal of one of wrestling’s most misunderstood figures.
As the story of CM Punk and AJ Lee continues, one thing is for sure: the WWE Universe is watching, waiting, and waiting for the next chapter in their exciting story.
