CM Punk is currently recovering from an injury ahead of WWE SummerSlam, but he's looking ahead to the future. However, will those plans involve his real-life AJ Mendez, aka former WWE Superstar AJ Lee? During the WWE Money in the Bank post-show press conference, "The Straight Edge Superstar" was asked if he's thought about teaming with his spouse, but a comeback doesn't appear to be on the cards.

"I don't want to fall in the trap of saying 'never say never.' I don't wanna give people false hope. I also will not put words in her mouth and say, 'I think this could happen.' I think this is a brave new world and I don't think a lot of people thought I was gonna show up. It's really all on her."

Lee retired from in-ring competition in 2015 and has since shifted her attention to writing. Her first book, "Crazy is my Superpower: How I Triumphed by Breaking Bones, Breaking Hearts, and Breaking the Rules," was a New York Times Bestseller. Elsewhere, "Blades of the 47 Ronin," an action movie she co-wrote with Aimee Garcia, was released in 2022. Punk revealed that she's also started a production company, which has kept her incredibly busy.

"I always say I'm a bad husband because I never know what project she's talking about. 'Oh I have a meeting', and I'm like, 'With who? Is it Netflix? Is it Hulu? Is it CBS?' I don't know. She's got so many irons in so many different fires."
