AJ Lee and CM Punk turned Halloween into a trip through Raccoon City this year. The WWE stars went full Resident Evil, with AJ becoming Jill Valentine and Punk stepping into the role of Leon S. Kennedy.
AJ revealed the costumes on Instagram with several photos from an elaborate Resident Evil-themed shoot. She recreated Jill’s classic look from the original game, while Punk went with Leon’s Resident Evil 4 appearance, complete with his signature hairstyle, coat and weapons.
They also had plenty more than costumes to work with. The photos featured backdrops inspired by Raccoon City and other locations from the games, giving AJ and Punk their own little Resident Evil setting to play around in. AJ completed the post with a reference longtime fans of the franchise should immediately recognize.
“I’ll give you S.T.A.R.S…
Happy Halloween from Jill Valentine and Leon S. Kennedy!

Punk and AJ have never exactly been shy about showing off their nerdier interests, and Halloween gave them another excuse to lean all the way into one of gaming’s biggest franchises. This time, they even managed to bring together two different generations of Resident Evil while doing it.
