CM Punk, AJ Lee News: Claims Emerge That AJ Almost Fired From WWE? Spotted in Hawaii on Honeymoon
CM Punk and AJ Lee were recently spotted jogging in Hawaii. It was reported that the two were on their extended honeymoon after their June 13 nuptials.
Punk was seen wearing his wedding ring, and Lee was the image of health as she showed off her WWE Diva form in a turquoise sports bra. Last week, there were reports that the Diva was expecting, but far from showing even a hint of a baby bump, Lee was in top shape as she displayed her defined midsection.
The former WWE champion and the current WWE diva began dating in the autumn of 2013. They had a whirlwind romance, which resulted in an engagement last April. The two have been spending a lot of time prior to their marriage as Punk has essentially retired from WWE and shows no desire to return any time soon. He has not disclosed his end of the story as to why he chose to walk away from it all last January.

On the other hand, Lee is on a roll as she is currently in the middle of a feud with Paige for the Divas title. However, Wrestlinginc.com is reporting that Lee was almost fired last year due unprofessional conduct, although there has been no official reaction from Lee about the claims.
It was reported that Lee's relationship with Punk became a huge story when the WWE Diva confronted NBC Sports personality Michelle Beadle. Apparently, Beadle came up to Punk and greeted him, and that's when Lee started shouting at her.
"I considered him a friend," says Beadle, according to reports. "When I saw him at the arena, I said, hey [expletive]. The exact same way I talk to everyone. His girlfriend was nowhere near this. And I kept walking along with my assistant and two members of WWE PR. Next thing I know, I'm being yelled at."
The website is reporting that WWE officials decided to terminate her contract over her unprofessional conduct, but they were overruled by Vince McMahon.
Wrestling Observer editor Dave Meltzer said that what McMahon did was a smart call, as firing Lee would have set off a chain of events that would do the WWE "more harm than good."
"There is no guarantee he was right in how he thought it would play out, but it was far more foresight than is usually exhibited in these situations," said Meltzer.
