CM Punk comments on AJ Lee's return to WWE
CM Punk recently claimed that AJ Lee's return to WWE was like a dream come true for him.
Speaking on the Pardon My Take podcast, the 46-year-old discussed AJ Lee's return to the promotion and stated that he enjoyed spending more time with his wife. He also revealed that Lee was an inspiration to him and was always working hard.
"She's inspirational, honestly. Her willpower, a lot of that is diet, but she's also super strong in the gym when she's lifting heavy weights, and she's busting her a** all the time. I'm like the uber nerdiest wife-guy. I always like to say I try to spend as much time with my wife as I can, and I spend a lot of time with her, and it never feels like it's enough. So having her be back in this environment with me at work is like a dream come true," said Punk.CM Punk and AJ Lee, best couple in the world?! we may see at Wrestlepalooza. :O
It will be fascinating to see if CM Punk and AJ Lee can get the better of Rollins and Lynch in the mixed tag team match tomorrow night at WWE Wrestlepaloooza.
