She described their relationship as a wrestling romance, noting their first kiss happened on TV when she even put Punk through a table. She emphasized how Punk respected her, especially during their NXT days when he supported her despite others doubting them.
AJ recalled a particular live show moment where Punk, deviating from the script, hit her instead of saying something harsh, which she found cool and felt was a nod to her importance. Reflecting on their quick transition from dating to marriage, AJ mentioned how they were friends first but soon realized their connection, leading to marriage within about two months. She also shared a funny memory about a time Punk joked about not being able to get married, which momentarily scared her away.
Additionally, AJ mentioned a past dialogue with Stephanie McMahon on social media concerning equal pay, highlighting ongoing discussions within the wrestling industry. Both AJ Lee and CM Punk are set to participate in WWE’s Survivor Series War Games on November 29th, representing the women’s and men’s classic matches, respectively.
