A recent incident on Monday Night RAW sparked concern about CM Punk’s health after he landed awkwardly on the ring apron while exiting the match. The Best in the World, who appeared alongside his wife AJ Lee, was rumored on social media to have suffered an injury during the broadcast, but these reports have since been debunked.
During this week’s episode of RAW, AJ Lee addressed the audience with a promo responding to her previous attack on Becky Lynch on SmackDown. Lynch interrupted the segment, demanding AJ return the Women’s Intercontinental Championship, which AJ had taken following last week’s show on the blue brand.
The tension escalated when Seth Rollins joined his wife Lynch, pressuring AJ Lee further to relinquish the title. CM Punk then intervened to protect AJ by attempting to hit Rollins with his signature move, the Go To Sleep, though Rollins managed to evade the attack. This confrontation sets the stage for a Mixed Tag Team Match at the upcoming Wrestlepalooza event, featuring CM Punk and AJ Lee against Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins.
At one point during a commercial break, while leaving the ring, Punk awkwardly landed on the apron, hitting his back, which led to social media speculation about a possible injury. However, PWInsider later confirmed that Punk did not sustain any injury and characterized the rumors as unfounded.
AJ Lee Celebrates Her Return and Fan Support
Following her reappearance in WWE, brought back by CM Punk on last week’s SmackDown, AJ Lee shared a message of gratitude on Instagram. She posted several photos and highlighted that her comeback generated an impressive 120 million social media views within 24 hours, expressing thanks to her supporters.
“120 million social views in 24 hours??? Thank you for watching, for all the messages, love, and hilarious posts. My wonderful weirdos, you’ve been here since Day One and had my back for a decade. This run is for you.”
—AJ Lee, Former WWE Divas Champion
AJ Lee emphasized that her current run in wrestling is dedicated to the fans who have supported her consistently since the beginning of her career. Her heartfelt message showcases the strong connection she maintains with her audience.
Looking ahead, it remains unclear what plans Triple H and the WWE creative team have devised for AJ Lee and CM Punk, especially given their scheduled match against Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins at Wrestlepalooza. Fans can expect the storyline to further unfold as the event approaches, with the potential for significant developments in the women’s division and tag team dynamics.
