Together, they are now locked in a heated feud with Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins. The rivalry will reach its peak at the upcoming Wrestlepalooza event, where the two pairs will face off in a blockbuster match.

Ahead of that clash, Punk expressed his joy in a recent interview on the Pardon My Take podcast. The former WWE Champion admitted how much it means to him to share the locker room with his wife once again.

“I’m having the time of my life. 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,” Punk said.

The upcoming Wrestlepalooza match will be AJ Lee’s first match since 2015, making her return even more significant. Punk praised the dedication and willpower she showed while preparing for the comeback.

“She’s inspirational, honestly,” Punk said. “Her willpower, a lot of that’s diet. But she’s also super strong in the gym and she’s, like, lifting heavy weights and busting her ass all the time.”
