AJ Lee opens up about how she and CM Punk got together.
AJ Lee and CM Punk have been married since 2014. They met in WWE and even had an on-screen romantic storyline in 2012. Speaking to Stephanie McMahon on her What’s Your Story podcast, Lee shared how she and the reigning World Heavyweight Champion got together.
“We dated probably two years after our storyline,” AJ Lee began, “but our first kiss was on television, and then I put him through a table. Wrestling relationships! 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** on us, he’d be like, ‘But AJ’s cool.’ He was always putting me over.
“When we did the storyline together, I remember there was like a… he was supposed to say something mean to me in one of the backstages (segment) that was going on live. It was live, and then he didn’t say the mean thing, and he, like, hit on me or something.”
AJ says she and CM Punk started as friends
AJ remembers thinking that was cool, noting that it was off-script, but Punk also took care of her. She recalled being friends at first and they dated other people, but gave dating a chance once they were both single at the same time.
“I think part of me was like, ‘Who knows, let’s try this.’ Then I blinked, and we were married in two months or something like that. But I do remember when we were just friends, like zero romantic interest, we were talking at a restaurant one time, and he’s saying something about, like, he’s never getting married, and a weird voice in my head went, ‘You’re gonna marry me,’ and I was like, ‘Bit*h shut up, who was that?’ Then I didn’t talk to him for a year. I was freaked out by that.”
