These two found their way to the altar in a very unorthodox fashion. Unorthodox because as a young girl, AJ Lee used to idolize Lita. At one point of time, CM Punk used to date Lita. Regardless of all this drama, the couple prevailed and tied the knot in 2014.

Punk and Lee were involved in an on-screen storyline for much of 2012. While the storyline wasn't much to write about from a wrestling point of view, it did have some pretty entertaining moments.

AJ was being portrayed as the manipulative, unpredictable woman who was in a love triangle (later square) with Punk and Daniel Bryan. Kane later joined this list. So did John Cena, briefly. And Dolph Ziggler. It was a crazy time for Lee. Even Paul Heyman went down on one knee at a point of time!

All in all, the storyline might not have been one of WWE's finest but it was pretty entertaining nonetheless. This duo started dating towards the end of this storyline, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Both Superstars have since left the WWE. While Punk is now signed with Cage Fury Fighting Championships promotion as a commentator, AJ Lee is pursuing a career as a writer and an animal rights activist.
