AJ Lee has cleared up one of the more talked-about moments from WWE Elimination Chamber, revealing why she deliberately avoided kissing CM Punk during their emotional championship celebration.
The explanation came during Episode Four of WWE: Unreal Season 3, where the real-life couple reflected on the closing moments of the premium live event.
What many fans initially viewed as an awkward moment turned out to be a deliberate decision with an unexpected reason behind it.
AJ Lee explains why she avoided kissing CM Punk after Elimination Chamber
Elimination Chamber ended with both Lee and Punk celebrating championship victories. Lee had captured the Women’s Intercontinental Championship, while Punk defeated Finn Balor to retain the World Heavyweight Championship.
During the celebration, Punk leaned in for a kiss, but Lee noticeably pulled away. This lead to widespread speculation online about what had happened.
Punk addressed the moment with a laugh, saying:
“She wouldn’t kiss me ’cause I was bleeding.”
Lee then explained the real reason behind the decision, making it clear the couple had discussed it beforehand.
“We were not trying to give the fetish sites any material. Mmm… not for free.”
The comment was delivered jokingly, bringing an end to the online theories surrounding the moment. Rather than being an accidental snub, Lee confirmed it was an intentional choice made during the live celebration.
The documentary also highlights Lee’s return to WWE after a lengthy absence, offering behind-the-scenes insight into several moments from her comeback. Among them was the Elimination Chamber celebration, which became one of the show’s most talked-about scenes despite lasting only a few seconds on television.
The reveal gives fans a clearer understanding of the thought process behind a moment that generated plenty of discussion after the event.
Sometimes, the biggest storyline isn’t the one unfolding inside the ring but the split-second decision after the final bell. In this case, Lee and Punk were on the same page - even if they didn’t seal the celebration with a kiss.
