CM Punk “Took Care” Of AJ Lee In WWE

AJ Lee was the latest guest on Stephanie McMahon’s What’s Your Story? Podcast, where she spilled the real story of how her real-life romance with Punk started.

Lee revealed that Punk would always lift her up when others criticized her. Even when he was supposed to be mean to her for storyline purposes, he didn’t do it; instead flirted with her.

They were friends first, dating other people. When both became single, they decided to give their relationship a shot. The universe worked its magic, and they fell in love and got married.

It is probably two years after our storyline, but our first kiss is on television, and then I put him through a table. As one does. Wrestling relationships. Yeah, I think early on, I think he respected me to the point of, like, in NXT, he was one of the announcers, and when everyone else sh*t on us, he would be like, But AJ’s cool.

He was always putting me over. And I think he just knew I loved wrestling, and so when we did the storyline together, I remember he was supposed to say something really mean to me. And it was live, so then he didn’t say the mean thing, and he hit on me or something. He wasn’t supposed to.

And I was like, that was so cool. But he took care of me, and I thought that was really, really nice. And I think we just… I don’t know. I don’t know. It sort of evolved.

I think we were friends first, dating other people. And then once we were both single at the same time. And I think a part of me was like… Who knows? Let’s try this out. Let’s give it a shot. And then I blinked, and we were married in, like, two months or something like that. Wow.
