CM Punk & AJ Lee Reunite in WWE for Wrestlepalooza 2025 Showdown

CM Punk Screwed at Clash in Paris

The WWE Universe witnessed shocking drama at Clash in Paris when CM Punk was screwed out of the World Heavyweight Championship. In a controversial finish, Becky Lynch delivered a brutal low blow to Punk, allowing her husband Seth Rollins to hit the Stomp and retain his title.

But the story didn’t end there—Punk quickly found backup in the most surprising way possible.

AJ Lee Returns to WWE After a Decade

In a moment that sent fans into a frenzy, AJ Lee made her long-awaited return to WWE after more than 10 years away from the company. Punk’s wife, who last competed on the Raw after WrestleMania 31 in 2015, is officially back in action.

On the September 8th edition of Raw, the returning AJ Lee confronted Becky Lynch, standing firmly by her husband’s side. This set the stage for a massive announcement.

Wrestlepalooza 2025 Mixed Tag Team Match Confirmed

WWE confirmed that CM Punk & AJ Lee will team up against Seth Rollins & Becky Lynch in a mixed tag team showdown at Wrestlepalooza on September 20th.

This blockbuster match not only marks Punk’s revenge mission but also AJ Lee’s first WWE match in over a decade—making it one of the most anticipated returns in recent history.

CM Punk’s Scary Botch After Raw

While celebrating with fans after Raw, CM Punk almost suffered a dangerous injury. Attempting to exit the ring in a dramatic fashion (similar to Kane and Ron Simmons), Punk miscalculated his step and slammed his back hard against the ring apron.

Fortunately, Punk managed to shake off the bump and jog away, avoiding what could have been a serious injury.

WWE History: Back Injuries That Changed Careers

CM Punk’s scare reminded fans of how fragile in-ring moments can be. WWE history has witnessed career-altering back injuries before:

• Shawn Michaels (1998 Royal Rumble): Injured his back during a Casket Match with The Undertaker, sidelining him for four years.
• The British Bulldog (1998 WCW): Landed on a trapdoor set for The Ultimate Warrior’s entrance, resulting in a spinal infection that hospitalized him for six months.

While Punk avoided disaster, these examples highlight how a single misstep can change a wrestler’s career forever.

All Eyes on Wrestlepalooza

With CM Punk and AJ Lee officially back as a power couple in WWE, the road to Wrestlepalooza 2025 looks explosive. Fans can expect high drama, personal rivalries, and possibly one of the most iconic mixed tag matches in WWE history.

For now, the biggest question remains—will Punk and Lee get their revenge, or will Rollins and Lynch prove why they’re WWE’s ultimate power couple?
