It’s been a long time since former WWE Superstar CM Punk left the company back in 2014. The Best in the World was a part of some memorable storylines in the WWE and is involved in such high-profile clashes in his current AEW run as well.
Punk accomplished almost everything during his WWE days and is still a loved personality in the WWE universe. His popularity among the fans is the reason Punk and his personal life remain one of the most talked-about things in WWE.
Recently, Punk has once again come into the limelight as a video claiming shocking facts involving him has gone viral. The video reveals an incident when a WWE Legend saved CM Punk’s wife, AJ Lee, from unwanted attention. The WWE legend was none other than Hall of Famer Mark Henry.
AJ Lee also revealed details about this in her book, “Crazy Is My Superpower: How I Triumphed by Breaking Bones, Breaking Hearts, and Breaking the Rules.” She wrote, “The World’s Strongest Man: Mark Henry once actually lifted a local crew guy off his feet and pinned him against a wall. He did this after he caught him ogling me as I stretched backstage.”
This was one of AJ Lee’s most memorable incidents, demonstrating how different Mark Henry was in real life and on Kayfabe, where he generally portrayed a heel.
When did CM Punk and AJ Lee get married?
Rumors about a potential relationship between CM Punk and AJ Lee started blooming in 2012 after their love triangle storyline involving Daniel Bryan. This feud was probably the time during which Punk and AJ developed feelings for each other, as their chemistry on the screen was lit.
In 2013, Punk and AJ went public as a couple as they made their first-ever public appearance together at a Chicago Cubs game. Following this game, they appeared together in many sporting events in Chicago, which was seemingly a confirmation of their relationship.
Confirming all speculations, CM Punk and AJ Lee eventually got married on June 13, 2014. This day is also remembered for the fact that Punk received his termination letter from WWE on their wedding day. After his WWE exit, Punk stayed away from wrestling for a long time before finally making his return to AEW.
It’s now been over nine years since Punk and AJ got married, and the couple still enjoys a healthy relationship. CM Punk is now again an active wrestler, but his wife, AJ Lee, has retired from the profession and is now a Writer. It remains to be seen if AJ Lee will also follow her husband to make a return to the wrestling industry.
