AJ Lee, CM Punk’s wife, has stayed out of the wrestling spotlight since her last match on Raw after WrestleMania 31 in 2015. Despite this, many in the wrestling world still love her.
After Punk’s WWE return at Survivor Series last year, rumors about AJ Lee’s comeback started circulating. Recently, he made a bold statement about AJ’s future in the ring, saying that it would be even bigger than his own.
In a recent interview with Peter Rosenberg, CM Punk made a surprising claim about his wife AJ Lee’s potential return to WWE. Punk believes that AJ’s comeback would be even bigger than his own electrifying return at Survivor Series 2023.
He said, “That’s the fun thing about wrestling fans. They look for stuff that necessarily isn’t there. That’s kind of the fun of it… They are always looking around this time of year for big returns. I had mine last year, I think hers would be bigger than mine.”

When asked if Punk’s WWE return affected AJ Lee’s desire to come back, he said it probably did. However, the 46-year-old also added, “It’s more of a workload thing for her. She is very busy.” He’s confident AJ would excel in today’s wrestling scene, saying, “She thrived back then when the focus wasn’t women.. You can’t tell me she wouldn’t fit in there.”
