CM Punk is happy to have his wife, AJ Lee, back in WWE.
After over a decade away, AJ Lee made her return to WWE on the September 5th episode of WWE SmackDown. AJ’s return set up the upcoming bout at WWE Wrestlepalooza when she teams CM Punk against Seth Rollins & Becky Lynch.
During a recent interview on the Pardon My Take podcast, Punk spoke about AJ Lee’s return to the company after nearly a decade away from the ring.
“I’m having the time of my life,” Punk told the podcast when asked about Lee’s return. “I’m like the uber-nerdiest wife guy. I always like to say I try to spend as much time with my wife as I can, and I spend a lot of time with her. And it never feels like it’s enough. So having her be back in this environment with me at work is like a dream come true”. Punk also praised the dedication Lee has shown in preparing for her first match since 2015. “She’s inspirational, honestly,” Punk said. “Her willpower, a lot of that’s diet. But she’s also super strong in the gym and she’s, like, lifting heavy weights and busting her ass all the time”. h/t to WrestlingNews.co for the transcription.
