Becky Lynch confronted CM Punk this past Friday night on SmackDown and slapped him several times. Punk exited the ring and shared that he would never hit a lady but knew someone who could. AJ Lee then returned to a massive ovation from the crowd and attacked Women's Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch.

Punk has been in a personal rivalry with Seth Rollins as of late. The Visionary successfully defended his World Heavyweight Championship in a Fatal 4-Way match against CM Punk, LA Knight, and Jey Uso at Clash in Paris earlier this month. Lynch interfered in the match and hit Punk with a low blow to help Rollins retain the title.

Former WWE writer reacts to AJ Lee's return on SmackDown

Wrestling legend Vince Russo recently shared his thoughts on AJ Lee's return to the company.

Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's BroDown podcast, Russo claimed that there was a lot wrong with Lee's return. He complained about Seth Rollins leaving Becky Lynch alone in the ring with CM Punk and stated that it was not believable.

"There are so many things wrong with this. Again, it's Triple H. He doesn't know how to do things, and nobody there knows how to do this." He continued, "First of all, why in God's name is Seth Rollins leaving his wife in the ring with CM Punk? I'll tell you why. Because they're setting up the spot with AJ Lee. That makes zero sense. No way in hell would a husband leave his wife in the ring by herself in a situation like that. Again, they did it to set up the AJ Lee spot, but it's not freaking believable. No man on this F-ing planet would do that. I don't care if you're a heel, I don't care if you're Seth Rollins, I don't care who you are. That makes zero sense," he said.
