AJ Lee and CM Punk vs. Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins Confirmed for Wrestlepalooza After Explosive Raw Segment

WWE Raw opened up a firestorm moments ago when AJ Lee and Becky Lynch went face-to-face in a verbal showdown that reminded fans just how sharp both can be on the microphone. Becky didn’t hold back, taking a brutal shot by calling AJ “New Jersey trash” — a line that instantly drew heat from the Milwaukee crowd.
Seth Rollins Confronts AJ Lee
The tension escalated when Seth Rollins’ music hit. Rollins stormed down to the ring demanding that AJ return his wife’s WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship. AJ smirked and raised the belt high, saying she would only hand it back if Seth and Becky agreed to face her and CM Punk in a tag team match at Wrestlepalooza.
Rollins fired back that he runs the business now and AJ has been gone for a decade, questioning whether she even belonged in the ring anymore. As Seth tried to reclaim the belt, AJ refused to budge.
Punk Makes His Presence Felt
The crowd erupted when CM Punk sprinted down the aisle. In the chaos, he brushed past Becky Lynch, slid into the ring, and caught Rollins flush for a near-GTS. Rollins barely escaped, scrambling out of the ring before Punk could drop him with his signature move.
Furious, Rollins grabbed the mic and shouted, “You guys want a match!? YOU GOT IT!” With that, WWE officially confirmed one of the most anticipated bouts in years: CM Punk and AJ Lee vs. Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch — married couple vs. married couple — live at Wrestlepalooza on September 20.
IT'S OFFICIAL!

🗣️ Wrestling.news | Backstage Take
This is exactly the kind of booking that Wrestlepalooza needs as WWE enters its ESPN era. AJ Lee’s first match in 10 years will already be a spectacle, but adding CM Punk alongside her against one of WWE’s most powerful real-life couples is pure box office. Becky calling AJ “New Jersey trash” was the kind of heel work that makes fans crave the payoff, while Punk nearly hitting the GTS on Rollins gave just enough of a tease to make the crowd lose it. WWE now has a Wrestlepalooza clash that feels personal, historic, and deeply emotional — the kind of match fans will be talking about for years.
