CM Punk knows how to keep it personal—and Monday night in London, he took a moment after WWE RAW to honor someone very close to his heart.

Fresh off locking in the WrestleMania 41 main event—a Triple Threat clash against Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins—the Second City Saint addressed the crowd in a post-show promo. But this time, it wasn’t about bloodlines, contracts, or grudges. It was about AJ Lee.

Standing in the ring after cameras stopped rolling for the March 31 episode of WWE RAW, Punk told the London crowd, “We’re gonna play a song that my wife April really loves.” Then Queen’s “Fat Bottomed Girls” hit the speakers—and the O2 Arena exploded into song as fans joined Punk in celebrating the moment.

Punk stood on the ropes, soaking in the scene as the Queen classic blasted through the arena. It was loud, unexpected, and deeply personal. Punk rarely mixes his real-life romance with his WWE persona, but this tribute to AJ Lee—a beloved former WWE Superstar in her own right—was a clear exception.
