AJ Lee and CM Punk beat Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins at WWE WrestlePalooza 2025 when Lee submitted “The Man” to win her first match in a decade.
WWE WrestlePalooza 2025 was one of the most highly anticipated events in recent WWE history, thanks in large part to the shocking return of AJ Lee and her red hot feud with Becky Lynch.
Two weeks ago on SmackDown, Lee surprisingly returned to WWE after a decade-long absence, joining forces with her real-life husband CM Punk in his fight against Lynch and her husband Seth Rollins. Since Lee’s blockbuster return, she and Lynch had engaged in some wildly entertaining verbal sparring en route to WrestlePalooza.
It was inside the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis that Lee, in her first match since March 2015, united with Punk to battle Lynch and Rollins in one of the most star-studded mixed tag team matches of all-time at WWE WrestlePalooza.WWE WrestlePalooza 2025 Results for AJ Lee and CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins
WWE WrestlePalooza 2025 turned out to be the perfect homecoming for Lee, who left Indianapolis with her first victory in more than 10 years.
Lee and Punk were able to topple the dastardly duo of Lynch and Rollins when Lee forced Lynch to tap out to the Black Widow submission. That capped off an exciting mixed tag team match in which the WWE fans inside Gainbridge Fieldhouse were, as expected, in a frenzy for Lee’s seemingly improbable return.
Here are some of the biggest highlights and moments from Lee and Punk’s victory over one half of The Vision stable:
Lee wanted to start the match, but she refused so Punk and Rollins started as the crowd chanted “CM Punk! CM Punk!” Lynch tagged in and then smacked Punk around as the crowd chanted “GTS!” Punk tagged in Lee, and Lynch avoided her, punched Punk, ran out of the ring, back in and tagged in Rollins.
Back on the outside, Punk hit a suicide dive on Rollins and then tossed him into the crowd. Back in the ring, Lynch and Rollins got the referee distracted as Lynch choked Punk behind the ref’s back. Lee then returned the favor on Rollins.
Punk dominated Rollins for a couple of minutes, but Rollins responded with a pedigree attempt, which Punk reversed into a GTS attempt. Lynch hit Rollins in the back as he ran into the ring ropes, and then with the ref distracted again, she sent Punk into the ring steel ring steps.
Rollins laid a beat down on Punk before Punk hit a suplex to level the playing field. He nearly got the hot tag to Lee, but Rollins interfered. Punk finally got the hot tag, but the distracted ref didn’t see it.
