10 Wrestlers Who Married Their Fans
5. CM Punk (AJ Lee)
Pretty much everyone has witnessed that clip of a teary-eyed AJ Lee marking out for Lita. It's heartwarming, because AJ was clearly overwhelmed by meeting her "idol" and getting her autograph (on a Lita VHS, no less - bonus points for that!). Years later, she'd be signing merch for emotional fans too.
Lee also met CM Punk during their time together in WWE, and the couple married in June 2014. Is it too far to suggest that AJ would've been a fan of Punk's before becoming his peer and then his wife? She didn't debut as an indy wrestler until 2007, and didn't make her way to WWE until 2009.
Of course, by then, Punk had been World Champ and was a major attraction on WWE TV. It's unlikely that AJ stopped watching Raw or SmackDown during her training (you don't lose that level of fandom overnight), so she would've watched her future husband do his thing.
Then...BOOM! Hitched.
