Fans Spot CM Punk’s Priceless Response to AJ Lee’s Stunning WWE Comeback
CM Punk was there to witness his wife AJ Lee's return to WWE after 10 years and fans believe they have spotted his clear reaction to it.
CM Punk - whose real name is Phillip Jack Brooks - is regarded as one of the greatest wrestlers of all time and his career in the ring has spanned nearly three decades.
The 46-year-old first joined the WWE back in 2005 and has won a wide variety of belts with the sports entertainment franchise.
This has included the WWE Championship twice, the two versions of the World Heavyweight Championship a total of four times, the WWE Intercontinental Championship once, and the World Tag Team Championship with Kofi Kingston, among various titles he has claimed over the years.

Punk has been married to fellow wrestler AJ Lee - whose real name is April Jeanette Mendez - since 2014.
During her first stint in the ring, Lee won the WWE Divas Championship a total of three times, before initially retiring from active wrestling back in April 2015.
However, more than a decade on from stepping away from wrestling, Lee made a return to the ring in the edition of SmackDown broadcast on September 5.
She appeared alongside her husband in his hometown of Chicago as the duo locked horns with fellow married wrestling couple Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch.
Following her surprise return to the WWE, Lee's shots to Lynch led to the current Women's Intercontinental Champion retreating.
According to USA Today, Punk and Lee could team up to take on fellow couple Rollins and Lynch at WrestlePalooza later this month on September 20.
But for now, fans have been reacting to Punk's reaction to seeing his wife Lee return to the WWE ring on SmackDown.
As she makes her way backstage following her appearance, Punk appears to be looking on before turning to camera with a proud look on his face.
And fans taking to social media platform X believe that his pride was so much that he was even close to tears at seeing his wife end her 10-year absence from the wrestling ring.
One wrote: "Punk was trying so hard not to cry man."
Another posted: "Proud husband."
One fan said: "You could see the pride on his face the entire time."
Another fan posted: "The look at the camera at the end just felt like he was saying 'I love my wife :)'"
And one fan summed it up by saying: "That's the look of a man who loves his wife so damn much."
