Top WWE star CM Punk recently spoke with TV Insider, sharing his openness to collaborating creatively with his wife, AJ Lee, in film or television projects. He expressed that while they currently keep their professional endeavors separate, he is optimistic about working together if the right opportunity appears, emphasizing the importance of a natural fit.
Maintaining a Balanced Professional and Personal Relationship
Punk explained that the couple avoids mixing certain aspects of their lives, saying,
“There are really two things me and my wife don’t do together. One is to work out and the other is to work together. It’s really the perfect relationship. She is my partner through and through. She has her things, and I have mine. When the right thing comes along, I guarantee we will work together. Although I’m not looking over her shoulder while she is slaving away at her computer telling her to write a role for me for her many projects coming up. I’m sure it will happen if it fits. And it has to fit. It can’t be forced. It can’t be her just writing something for me or vice-versa or me trying to get her slotted into something because she is my wife. She is a creative genius and extremely talented in her own right. So, anything we do end up doing together will be super fun, but it has to be the right fit.”
He made clear that any collaboration would stem from shared creative passion rather than obligation or convenience.
Sources of Guidance in the Acting World
CM Punk also revealed some of the people he considers mentors as he advances in his acting career. He highlighted the support he receives from longtime friend Dave Bautista, as well as notable industry figures he has worked with or met, such as Mike O’Malley and Stephen Amell. Punk stated,
“Just because he has been a friend for so long, Dave Bautista. I can reach out to Dave and ask him a million different questions. There are so many people I met along the way that have helped me out greatly. A lot of people on Heels like Mike O’Malley and so many. You meet so many producers, directors. Stephen Amell has been a huge help because, to me, this is his world. Any time I have questions there are definitely people who have a wealth of experience I can reach out to and get an informed opinion from.”
Looking Ahead to Creative Ventures with AJ Lee
By openly discussing his intentions to collaborate with AJ Lee only when the project suits them both, CM Punk signals a future where their combined talents could shine in the entertainment industry. This approach respects their individual artistic identities while leaving room for promising joint ventures. Fans and followers of both personalities may anticipate exciting announcements when the right film or TV project arises.
