During a promo on March 3 WWE Raw, CM Punk challenged Becky Lynch to “come get her man,” referring to Seth Rollins. Punk and Rollins are set to settle their conflict in a steel cage match at Madison Square Garden. The tension escalated after Lynch’s since-deleted social media response to Punk, which alluded to Punk’s wife, AJ Lee, and suggested potential issues regarding their relationships with younger female wrestlers. This provocative exchange raises questions about the personal and professional dynamics in the ongoing feud between Rollins and Punk, which already has roots in real-world animosity.
In a memorable promo that opened the Mar. 3 WWE Raw — which many consider one of his finest moments, given CM Punk’s reputation as one of the greatest orators in pro wrestling history — he delivered a pointed message to Becky Lynch, inviting her to “come get her man.”
The “man” in question is none other than Seth Rollins. Punk and Rollins are set to clash inside a steel cage on next Monday’s show at Madison Square Garden, with emotions likely running high following Lynch’s since-deleted social media reply to Punk’s challenge.
Interestingly, her message was directed at Punk’s spouse, former WWE star April “AJ Lee” Mendez. However, it wasn’t a straightforward “come back and fight me” type of statement…

Instead, by rephrasing Punk’s words while sharing a fan’s excitement about the similar outfits worn by him and Roxanne Perez at Elimination Chamber last Saturday, Becky seems to suggest that Lee might want to take another look at her husband’s connections with one of the younger women in the WWE roster whom Punk and AJ refer to as their “daughters.”
It’s definitely not PG material, and it blurs the line between professional and personal that many WWE fans already find challenging to navigate — which likely explains why Becky chose to delete it.
Will this inject genuine tension into an already volatile feud between Rollins and Punk, which is rooted in real-life animosity?
