CM PUNK STUNS EVERYONE BY KISSING BECKY LYNCH _ AJ LEE LEFT SPEECHLESS

In a moment that sent shockwaves across the WWE Universe, CM Punk sealed a dramatic turn of events by planting a bold kiss on Becky Lynch during last Friday’s episode of SmackDown in Chicago. The unexpected gesture was swiftly followed by the jaw-dropping return of AJ Lee, whose stunned reaction quickly became the talk of the night.
The stage had been set in the lead-up to SmackDown with mounting tension between Punk and Lynch following a major angle at Clash in Paris. At that event, Lynch disguised herself to interfere and low-blew Punk, securing Seth Rollins’ World Heavyweight Championship victory—a twist that instantly raised speculation about AJ Lee making a comeback to the company.

On the night of September 5, fans at the Allstate Arena in Chicago—Punk’s hometown—were primed for something big. Lynch, accompanied by Rollins, hyped the atmosphere, trading barbs with the crowd before launching into a physical exchange with Punk. He had the crowd on edge, but the show’s biggest moment was still to come. As Lynch slapped Punk, the chant for AJ Lee erupted, echoing around the venue.
Without warning, AJ Lee made her long-anticipated return, greeted by thunderous cheers and “holy shit” chants. She attacked Lynch with ferocity that had fans on their feet, then delivered an iconic gesture—licking her hand before slapping the taste “right out of Becky’s mouth.” With the ring in chaos, Punk and Lee stood together, embracing in a moment that ended with a kiss—one that left Lynch stunned and the WWE Universe buzzing.

This electrifying reunion confirmed that AJ Lee is back—and with a bang. The crowd erupted not just at her return, but the way it played out, signaling a long-awaited chapter finally opening in WWE storytelling.
Critics praised the segment for its cinematic energy and emotional payoff. The storytelling around Punk’s homecoming, Lynch’s rising tension, and the echoing chants for AJ created a perfect storm of drama—delivered at just the right moment. Reports graded the episode highly for its execution and impact on the audience.
The return of AJ Lee instantly reshapes the landscape heading into Wrestlepalooza, set for later this month. Programmatically, this angle gives WWE a compelling marquee match to promote: AJ Lee and CM Punk versus Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch. It’s shaping into one of the most anticipated feuds in recent memory, blending nostalgia, star power, and emotional investment.

In building such anticipation, WWE has leaned into the nostalgia factor—acknowledging AJ Lee’s long absence since her retirement in 2015 due to injury. Her return capitalizes on years of fan longing and tunes Triad dramatic revenge against Lynch into a major storyline cue.
Looking ahead, fans and analysts alike are speculating about how far this new alliance will go, and what it means for the power dynamics within WWE’s women’s division. With AJ reinstated and dancing alongside her husband Punk at the center of the narrative, momentum is clearly shifting. Wrestlepalooza looks poised to deliver a high-stakes clash full of personal vendettas, championship aspirations, and the rare thrill of a long-lost star’s return.
In summary, CM Punk’s unexpected kiss was not just lip service—it was a catalyst launching AJ Lee back into the fray in spectacular fashion. Becky Lynch was left speechless, and the WWE Universe is once again reminded that wrestling thrives on moments that both shock and satisfy.
