He (Triple H) is the king of pops. It's another pop. I mean, seriously, that's why AJ Lee is here. It's another pop. I don't think it's gonna be long-term. I mean, I don't. If it is long-term, look at what happened to Nikki Bella. Nothing, zero. The same, exact thing will happen with AJ Lee if she remains on the roster."AJ Lee is expected to team up with her husband, CM Punk, to lock horns with the husband-wife duo of Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins at WWE Wrestlepalooza. It remains to be seen what the Stamford-based promotion has planned for Lee's future.
