AJ Lee, CM Punk’s wife, comments on the heated rivalry between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre. Punk and McIntyre have been feuding throughout 2024. In recent months, a fan bracelet with Lee’s name on it has become a key part of the story.

After the creator of CM Punk's friendship bracelet spoke out about the item being sold as merchandise, WWE officially pulled the bracelet from stores.

A few days after briefly appearing on WWEShop before being removed, CM Punk Friendship Bracelets are available for purchase again, but with a key difference

WWE Shop is once again selling CM Punk friendship bracelets. The bracelets now sport the name of CM Punk instead of AJ and Larry. They are still $9.99. The original bracelets had the names of AJ Lee, CM Punk's wife, and Larry, CM Punk's dog.

However, reactions from the bracelet's creator imply they weren't informed of the decision to make replicas.

It was a focal point for months in one of WWE’s hottest feuds, so it’s no huge surprise the company would attempt to monetize it further by producing a replica of CM Punk’s now-destroyed friendship for their online store.
