Are AJ Lee and CM Punk injured? That’s how the wrestlers were categorized on a leaked script for this week’s episode or Raw.
Fans quickly reacted, wondering what that meant.
CM Punk hasn’t wrestled for weeks after he reportedly left the WWE in anger over not getting a shot at the title at WrestleMania 30.
Lee held the women’s title for nearly 300 days before she lost it on April 7 to Paige in an episode or Raw, the day after WrestleMania.
Fans were wondering about Lee after she failed to appear on SmackDown and Raw.
Lee is also engaged to Punk, prompting speculation that there’s some sort of connection.
PWInser (subscription only) says that Lee actually asked for time off.
On the last “Monday Night Raw,” CM Punk’s name was chanted by the audience, suggesting that a large number of fans want him to return to the WWE.
Paul Heyman, a WWE promoter, recently said that he doesn’t think CM Punk misses the professional wrestling business.
“I talk to him all the time. I don’t really talk to him about the industry all that much because it’s obviously a sore spot with him. When you left the company, I’m sure you had very select friends that you could talk with and who could talk with you and it doesn’t have to be ‘what was said about me in the locker room’ or ‘hey, did you hear anything’ or they say to you ‘hey, you coming back?’” he told Cage Side Seats a week ago.
“I’m sure it could be ‘hey, how are your kids? Hey, how you feeling today? Hey, you’re okay? Everything cool? Or is everything not okay? You wanna talk about anything?’ When I left the company, I stayed very good friends with people who were still in the company. It doesn’t mean just because Punk has left the company we can’t be friends. Our friendship really had, funny thing to say, but it really had nothing to do with business.”
