AJ Lee & CM Punk's return clips become top two most shared videos on WWE X's profile

AJ Lee made her WWE return last week in Chicago!

AJ Lee and CM Punk now stand side by side atop WWE’s official X (formerly Twitter) account, with their respective return clips becoming the two most-shared videos in company history.

For years, Punk’s return at Survivor Series 2023 held the crown as WWE’s biggest viral clip. But that changed when AJ Lee shocked the world on SmackDown in Chicago.

Her long-awaited comeback, which saw her physically step back into a WWE ring for the first time since 2015, has instantly secured its place in history.

AJ Lee’s viral moment

The record-setting video features AJ Lee confronting Becky Lynch after weeks of escalating tension. The segment began with Lynch slapping CM Punk multiple times inside the ring. Punk, holding his composure, told the Chicago crowd he would not retaliate against a woman but knew “someone who would.”

Moments later, Lee’s entrance theme hit, sending the arena into chaos. The former Divas Champion stormed to the ring, tackled Lynch, and left her reeling with a thunderous slap before holding up the Women’s Intercontinental Championship. The clip spread like wildfire, racking up millions of views and shares within hours.

Following the appearance, WWE confirmed that Lee has signed a full-time, multi-year contract. Triple H himself posted a video of the signing, marking the official return of a star many thought would never wrestle again.

CM Punk and AJ Lee dominate WWE’s social era

Lee’s moment joins CM Punk’s unforgettable Survivor Series 2023 comeback at the top of WWE’s social leaderboard. Punk’s clip had been the company’s most-shared video for nearly two years, with fans replaying the thunderous ovation he received in Chicago.

The shared spotlight between husband and wife tells its own story. Together, they now hold WWE’s top two viral moments, proving their enduring popularity and influence across generations of fans. Their returns also come during a pivotal time for WWE, with the Punk-Rollins-Lynch storyline driving massive attention worldwide.

With AJ Lee’s comeback now official, and Punk entrenched in a heated rivalry with Seth Rollins, WWE’s social media dominance looks set to continue well into 2025.
