7 Apr
Summary
- AJ Lee discusses purposeful sharing of personal life for fan connection.
- She and CM Punk are navigating their first WWE run as a married couple.
- Both are competing at WrestleMania 42 on consecutive nights.
AJ Lee, 39, is set to compete at her first WrestleMania in over ten years. She discussed her deliberate choice to share only what she's comfortable with, especially regarding her marriage to CM Punk, 47. Lee explained her goal is to share experiences that can help others feel less alone, fostering a strong fan connection through mutual vulnerability.
Married in 2014, Lee and Punk are now experiencing their first WWE run as a married couple. Lee noted the comfort of being on the road together and admiring her husband's success. Punk will defend his world heavyweight championship on Night 2 of WrestleMania 42 on Sunday, April 19, while Lee defends her women's intercontinental title on Night 1 on Saturday, April 18. Both events will stream live on ESPN+.
Lee, who initially left WWE less than a year after marrying Punk, reflected on their shared history in the company. While previously against sharing storylines, she and Punk recently participated in a mixed tag team match. She humorously acknowledged their 12-year marriage, deciding it was time to publicly acknowledge their union on screen.
