This was definitely not art imitating life.

There was that brief stint between 2012 and 2013 where Punk and AJ shared some screen time. The promos were actually pretty well charged, if a little jarring in hindsight of the two's real life future marriage.

For this reason, AJ's misguided in-ring proposal to CM Punk is strange enough, but the real unpleasantness came during a follow-up segment several months later. By this time, Punk had undergone a full gimmick change, and was now flanked by his mentor, Paul Heyman. The two ran the villain segment for quite some time in that guise.

When a now General Manager AJ attempted to lay down the law, Heyman proceeded to mock her previous proposition by dropping to his knee and offering a decidedly creepy marriage offer of his own. Throughout this taunt, Punk could be seen in the background, glaring and laughing.

For the sake of good storytelling, Lee went on to rig a number of matches which would end badly for Punk, but there's something about this initial segment that remains hard to digest.
