CM Punk has opened up on AJ Lee’s reaction to his torn tricep injury during last year’s 2024 Royal Rumble match.
Punk took part in his first television WWE match in 10 years during last year’s Royal Rumble match, but it didn’t end up going the way Punk was hoping.
Punk ended up suffering a torn tricep off a Future Shock DDT by Drew McIntyre, which kept him out of action until SummerSlam.
Speaking in an interview to Jackie Redmond ahead of the Royal Rumble, Punk detailed his wife AJ Lee’s reaction to his injury during last year’s match.
He said:
“I gave myself a good eight-minute cry before I called my wife and told her, ‘Hey, I got hurt’. I could cry for 45 minutes and the instant I actually try to vocalize something like that to her, I’ll still blubber.
“(She said) ‘Just come home, I’ll take care of you, we’ll get over it, we’ll get through it’. That’s what we did. That’s what she does for me. Always has my back.”
