AEW Women’s champion Britt Baker wanted AJ Lee to follow the footsteps of her husband CM Punk
CM Punk returned to pro-wrestling on the 20th of August. He made his AEW debut at his own backyard (United Center) in Chicago, Illinois.
Punk hadn’t professionally wrestled in over 7 years prior to his AEW debut. The former WWE Superstar had a few plans, and even called out Darby Allin for a contest on the 5th of September.
In a recent interaction at a Planet Comicon event, AEW Women’s champion Britt Baker spoke about Punk joining the promotion.
She then began explaining how big a fan of AJ Lee (CM Punk’s wife) she was, before going on to state that seeing the pair together in a wrestling ring other than WWE would be immense.
Baker also said that she would love to fight Punk and Lee in a mixed tag team match alongside her boyfriend Adam Cole.
Baker was quoted as saying:
“I was a big AJ Lee fan. One of the first moves I asked my trainer to teach me when I was training was her finisher, the Black Widow. So, that would be really cool. Again, it’s giving the fans what they want. I think for the fans to see both of them [Punk & Lee] in a wrestling ring again in 2021, which is not in WWE…that alone would be evolutionary.So, for that moment alone, I would love to see her in AEW. I would love to see her in the ring with me.” [via Wrestling Inc]
Baker continued:
“Speaking of her, I would love to see a mixed tag team match involving her, Punk, me and somebody else [Adam Cole].””
CM Punk and AJ Lee married in June 2014, but it was not before the WWE linked them up in a romantic storyline.
First, it was Daniel Bryan and Punk vying for Lee. Lee would then go on to propose Punk on stage, much to the dismay of Bryan.
But, things will take a dramatic turn when Lee begins an on-screen relationship with John Cena.
Punk left the WWE in 2014, and Lee exited in 2015.
