CM Punk claims major WWE stars are "queens" following RAW

CM Punk claims two major WWE stars were "queens" following this week's edition of RAW. This past Monday's episode of WWE RAW aired live from Madison Square Garden and featured a massive title change.

Becky Lynch defended the Women's Intercontinental Championship against Maxxine Dupri earlier this week on the red brand. AJ Lee returned for the first time since Wrestlepalooza 2025 and distracted The Man during the title match. Maxxine Dupri capitalized on the interference and defeated Big Time Becks to capture the Women's Intercontinental Championship.

Punk took to his Instagram story today to react to his wife's (AJ Lee) return and Dupri's title win. He referred to both stars as "queens," and you can check it out in the image below.

CM Punk and AJ Lee teamed up to defeat Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch in a mixed tag team match at WWE Wrestlepalooza 2025. Rollins suffered an injury at Crown Jewel earlier this year and was forced to relinquish the World Heavyweight Championship. Punk won the vacant title on November 1 at Saturday Night's Main Event by defeating Jey Uso.

WWE Hall of Famer comments on CM Punk's title win

Wrestling icon Bully Ray recently revealed that he wasn't too excited about CM Punk winning the World Heavyweight Championship at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event.

Speaking on Busted Open, the legend stated that Punk's victory over Jey Uso was fine and that there was nothing negative to say about it. However, he noted that it didn't feel like a big deal because the company had to change plans due to Seth Rollins' untimely injury.

"Listen, everything went fine. Everything was good; everything worked out. No problems. They put the championship on Punk. There’s no negative to what they did. But it just didn’t feel like a big deal. Yes, the fans were happy; yes, the place popped. But it just didn’t feel like a win that really, really mattered. It felt like a win because they had to do something based on what happened to Seth. And I think subconsciously that’s in the back of everybody’s minds,” he said.

CM Punk will be competing in the Men's WarGames match at WWE Survivor Series later this month in San Diego, California.
