AJ Lee has shared a series of vacation photos featuring CM Punk amid their time away from WWE television.
Taking to Instagram, the former WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion posted photos from the couple’s vacation. In one of the images, Punk’s noticeably “jacked” shadow also makes a cameo appearance.
Lee has not appeared on WWE programming since dropping the Women’s Intercontinental Championship to Becky Lynch at WrestleMania 42. Since then, she has remained largely absent from weekly television, although she recently confirmed she will appear in WWE: Unreal Season 3, which is set to air later this month on Netflix.
CM Punk, meanwhile, last appeared on the RAW after WrestleMania, where he teased a potential feud with Cody Rhodes. Since then, he has been off WWE television, with recent reports linking his absence to reported creative disagreements within the company.
During a recent appearance for Cage Fury Fighting Championships in Chicago, Punk referenced his time away with a nod to the classic Terry Funk line, saying: “I don’t travel anymore. My horse is sick.”
Despite his absence, reports suggest Punk has been pushing for a return on the July 6 episode of RAW, which will also take place in Chicago. However, WWE’s official website has yet to update its featured superstar listings for the show, leaving his status for the event unclear. The company is, though, advertising him for upcoming episodes of RAW leading into SummerSlam.
