Lee returned to WWE after 10 years away. At Clash in Paris, Becky Lynch cost Punk the victory, denying him her husband Seth Rollins\u2019s WWE World Heavyweight Championship.<\/p>\n<p>To even the odds in order to make a match at WrestlePalooza o\ufb03cial, Punk brought back his wife, which was a wise move for him and the fans. They\u2019ve wanted her back for so long, and her return made everyone very happy.<\/p>\n<p>To celebrate this momentous occasion, the WWE YouTube channel uploaded a WWE Playlist video focused on the on-screen history between Punk and Lee.<\/p>\n<p>This video showcases the times that Punk and Lee interacted with each other on screen, leading to a real-life partnership and eventual marriage. It\u2019s nice when wrestlers have chemistry on screen, as it leads to great matches and a happy work environment.<\/p>\n<p>Having that same chemistry in real life is even better, as they can lead to marriages like Punk and Lee.<\/p>\n<p><em>ARTICLE CONTINUED BELOW&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Check out the latest episode of the Wade Keller Pro Wrestling Post-show covering the latest episode of Smackdown: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/episode\/wwe-smackdown-post-show-9-5-parks-machado-talk-john-cena-s-final-smackdown-zayn-s-u-s-title-challenge-aj-lee-s-return-more--67651458\">CLICK HERE<\/a> to stream (or search \u201cwade Keller\u201d on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or any other iOS or Android app to subscribe free)<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"WWE SMACKDOWN POST-SHOW (9\/5) - Parks &amp; Machado talk John Cena's final Smackdown, Zayn's U.S. Title Challenge, AJ Lee's return, more\" src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/player?episode_id=67651458&amp;theme=light&amp;playlist=false&amp;playlist-continuous=false&amp;chapters-image=true&amp;episode_image_position=right&amp;hide-logo=false&amp;hide-likes=false&amp;hide-comments=false&amp;hide-sharing=false&amp;hide-download=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200px\" frameborder=\"0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>The very first segment highlighted Punk comforting Lee while she was crying.
