As seen during the September 5th 2025 edition of WWE SmackDown, there was an in-ring confrontation between CM Punk and Becky Lynch. After being slapped repeatedly by Becky, Punk said that he wasn’t going to hit a woman but he knew someone that would.
After a decade of being away from WWE, Punk’s wife AJ Lee officially made her return and attacked Becky with the crowd chanting “holy sh*t.” After Becky and Seth Rollins left the ringside area, Punk and Lee hugged as SmackDown went off the air.
