Becky Lynch’s Past Romance Twist Could Explode CM Punk & AJ Lee Rivalry Ahead Of WrestleMania
A surprising real-life connection from the past could soon become WWE storyline gold, and fans are already buzzing about what it might mean for one of the company’s biggest ongoing feuds.
Tension has been building between Becky Lynch and the duo of CM Punk and AJ Lee, with the rivalry stretching back to last year when Lynch teamed up with her husband, Seth Rollins, during his heated feud with Punk on WWE programming.
That storyline led to Lee’s return and a mixed tag showdown at Wrestlepalooza, where Punk and Lee walked away victorious. While Lee has only made limited appearances since, her rivalry with Lynch never cooled off. The two are now set to collide at Elimination Chamber, with a potential rematch rumored for WrestleMania.
At the same time, Punk is locked in a separate feud with Finn Balor before shifting focus toward a blockbuster WrestleMania main event clash with Roman Reigns.
The Real-Life Twist That Has Fans Talking
The speculation heated up after comments on the RAW Recap show. Host Sam Roberts noted that both Punk and Lee are currently feuding with Irish stars—Balor and Lynch.
That’s when former champion Big E brought up a real-life detail many fans may have forgotten: Lynch and Balor dated years ago, with Lynch previously calling him her “first love.”
Big E suggested—half joking, half serious—that Lynch could be “going back into the past” to find allies while Rollins is sidelined with injury, potentially using Balor as a weapon against Punk and Lee.
Reality vs. Storyline—For Now
As of now, there’s been no on-screen interaction between Lynch and Balor, and their rivalries with Lee and Punk have remained separate storylines. But in WWE, real-life history has often been used to fuel major story moments—and fans know anything can change quickly.
Roberts also emphasized how massive the Lynch vs. Lee showdown really is, calling it a dream match between two of the best of their respective eras. He noted that Lynch’s chaotic, larger-than-life persona sometimes distracts from just how historic this matchup could be for the division.
With WrestleMania season approaching, the question now is simple: will WWE pull from real-life history to make this feud even more explosive?
If you want, I can rewrite this in a more aggressive clickbait style or make it more “news site neutral,” depending on where you plan to publish.
