At the 2024 WWE Money in the Bank post-show press conference, CM Punk was asked about his wife AJ Lee’s potential return to WWE.
Punk said, โI appreciate the question. You would have to ask my wife, but sheโs not here. Sheโs taken care of Larry [their dog]. I donโt want to fall in the trap of saying โnever say neverโ. I donโt wanna give people false hope. I also will not put words in her mouth and say, โI think this could happen.โ I think this is a brave new world, and I donโt think a lot of people thought I was gonna show up.
Itโs really all on her. Sheโs busy. Iโm super proud of her. Sheโs doing her own thingโฆI donโt even know if Iโm allowed to talk about this stuff. Sheโs got a production company started up; sheโs writing TV, movies, all kinds of stuff. And laughably, I always say Iโm a bad husband because I never know what project sheโs talking about. โOh, I have a meeting,โ and Iโm like, โWith who? Is it Netflix? Is it Hulu? Is it CBS?โ I donโt know. Sheโs got so many irons in so many different fires. I will say, as a fan of hers, I would love to see it.โ
