CM Punk Can’t Promise AJ Lee Will Join AEW

CM Punk signing with AEW was quickly followed by many fans hoping that his wife AJ Lee isn’t far behind. Those hopeful fans might need to keep their expectations down a bit.

Adam Cole and Britt Baker would love to face CM Punk and AJ Lee in a match. The possibility of that mixed-tag team match is quite exciting, but there is no guarantee it will happen at all.

While talking to ESPN’s SportsNation, CM Punk was asked about the possibility of that match going down. While it might be fun to see happen, AJ Lee is doing her own thing right now.

“That one I can’t promise you,” CM Punk said. “She’s doing her own thing. To be completely honest, I know her. And if I said ‘hey, do you want to do this wrestling match?’ and she was all gung ho to do it, I know she would want to get into stupid shape to do it. And I like her fit. I don’t want to take that away from myself.”
