Who is CM Punk’s Wife in 2021?
CM Punk married his former co-worker AJ Mendez, better known as AJ Lee. Both the wrestlers were red hot in the early 2010s when CM Punk and AJ both were champions.
The couple exchanged their wedding vows on June 13th, 2014. However, there’s an interesting story that on the very date of their wedding, Punk received a letter from WWE which said that he was fired.
To this day Vince McMahon and the WWE confess that this was purely a coincidence, but given the history between Punk and McMahon, many fans believed it wasn’t just a coincidence.

How Old is AJ Mendez, aka AJ Lee?
Born on March 19, 1987, AJ Mendez is 34 years old, which makes her nine years younger than Punk, who is currently 43 years old. AJ moved away from in-ring completion in 2o15 after she teamed with Paige to defeat Nikki and Brie Bella on Sunday at WrestleMania 31.
She was 28 years old when she walked away from the industry, citing permanent damage to her cervical spine.
Since then AJ has released her memoirs about mental health and how important is it to understand and talk about the same. The book was called Crazy Is My Superpower: How I Triumphed by Breaking Bones, Breaking Hearts, and Breaking the Rule.
AJ is now a public speaker and is also an author of the New York Times bestseller.
