10 Wrestling Romances that Worked Out

#7. CM Punk and AJ Lee

Before becoming the calling card chant for every bored crowd in a smark town like New York or Chicago, CM Punk was a hugely successful WWE superstar, having captured a WWE Triple Crown, two Money in the Bank briefcases, a record-setting championship reign (record-setting for the post-Hogan era, at least), and the hearts of numerous female WWE performers backstage.

While nearly all of those ended in heartbreak, the last of these, with AJ Lee, seems to have gone the distance; beginning (yet again) with a storyline relationship, Punk's "thing" for "crazy chicks" blossomed into an actual relationship, which became official in June of 2014 when the couple exchanged vows, ironically on the day Punk's WWE release became official.

While Punk has been absent from WWE television since January of 2014, Lee made an appearance alongside Paige to face the Bellas at WrestleMania 31; unfortunately, that run is far more remembered for a series of vulgar chants during post-Mania clashes directed at the women involved and concerning their male partners than it is for amazing in-ring action.

Punk, real name Phillip Jack Brooks, seems to be thriving in his married life; no matter how much WWE audiences clamor for his return, Punk credits the comfort and security he gets from his marriage to Lee, real name April Jeanette Mendez, with helping him avoid the spotlight he used to crave as a professional wrestler.
