AJ Lee reacts to CM Punk's appearance outside WWE

CM Punk recently appeared in a non-WWE show. His wife, AJ Lee, has now reacted to this appearance.

Punk is widely regarded as one of the best professional wrestlers in the world. However, he has now decided to take his talents to TV. It was reported earlier that the Straight Edge Superstar would take on a recurring role in the Syfy horror series "Revival." This show is based on the Image Comics series by Tim Seeley and Mike Norton.

The show premiered on July 12 on Syfy in the United States and CTV Sci-Fi Channel in Canada. Revival will also be available for streaming on Peacock and Crave one week after its initial air date. AJ Lee has now taken to her Instagram Stories to react to Punk's appearance as she reshared stills from the show.

"not only do i love this show cuz the mister is in it, i love the care that went into the mental health messaging. someone did a lot of research or had life experience and i appreciate the empathy @cmpunk @syfy #revival," she wrote.

Jim Ross comments on CM Punk's recent controversy

Once upon a time, CM Punk referred to WWE's partnership with Saudi Arabia as "blood money." These comments were still fresh in the minds of the Saudi fans when the Straight Edge Superstar showed up for the Night of Champions kickoff show. The Best in the World was met with a chorus of boos, and he issued a heartfelt apology.

Jim Ross addressed the controversy on a recent episode of Grilling JR, stating that he considers the former AEW star a good friend and his heart was in the right place.

"It's overthought," Ross stated, discussing the backlash Punk received. "I know that Punk's heart is in the right place. He's controversial. That's why he's so fun to follow. Phil's a good friend of mine. I am a full-on supporter of his work, I really am. I still wish he was at AEW, quite frankly. He adds a lot to any presentation that he's involved in, so I think we're overthinking it a little bit, quite honestly."

According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker.
