AJ Lee has ‘no idea what’s going on’ with CM Punk’s WWE storyline
Despite her name being on a bracelet at the center of her husband’s feud with Drew McIntyre, AJ Mendez (FKA AJ Lee) appears to know very little about the storyline.
The former Divas Champion is busy promoting her upcoming comic book Day of the Dead Girl, which recently announced a Kickstarter campaign. During an interview with Comicbook.com, AJ was asked about Punk’s current storyline and she admitted she has no idea what’s going on.
“I mean this in the most loving way, I have no idea what’s going on [laughs]. I’m weird about like — I don’t want to watch my husband wrestle live because I’m scared. It’s like a weird juju thing,” Mendez said. “But also, it’s kind of like when you go home from work, do you open up your email? It’s kind of like that. It feels like that if people can understand. So, I’m sort of on the periphery, and I get kind of looped in mostly for women’s stuff, because that’s what I’m interested in.”
“So my husband will let me know who’s the cool chick at the moment. And I’m so obsessed with people. Like Bayley and Naomi? Those are my girls. So that’s what’s interesting to me. I kind of don’t know what’s happening in the storyline. I know that my dog is famous all of a sudden! He’s got some surprise merch coming. I’ve been privy to that. But it’s cool. I’m happy that he’s happy and healthy and just killing it. I’m proud.”
Replicas of the fan-made bracelet at the center of the storyline are back being sold on WWE.com after briefly being taken off the site, although they now feature CM Punk’s name rather than Larry and April. The fan who made the original bracelet for Punk is hoping she’ll be sent one.
Day of the Dead Girl releases October 9. A description of the miniseries reads as follows:
“Death is never the end of the story. Coroner Sam Castillo will learn this the hard way, when a supernatural serial killer targets her hometown just as she moves back. A skeptical woman of science, Sam butts heads with her spiritual mother Ana, a leader of a witch coven specializing in Brujeria. But when the coven’s Brujas start turning up murdered, Sam and Ana must work together to find the killer and save their town’s Day of the Dead festival from turning into an occult bloodbath. As if sharing a bathroom with her mom wasn’t hard enough.”
