Ever since AJ Lee returned on the WWE on the June 30 edition of Monday Night RAW, she has been peppered with "CM Punk" chants due to her marrying the departed Superstar, and Paige used that as momentum during one of her recent matches.

Wrestlingheadlines.com reports that at WWE's live event in Oklahoma City last week, Paige referenced Punk during her match with Lee by taunting her and calling for the GTS, Punk's finishing move, during their match.
Lee took a hiatus from the WWE on the night after WrestleMania XXX by losing the Divas Championship to Paige on the April 7 edition of RAW. During her break, Lee moved to Chicago and moved in with Punk, eventually marrying him on June 13.

Lee's departure led to pregnancy rumors, but they were quashed when she returned on June 30 and dethroned Paige to win the Divas Championship back.
Since her return, she has received a lot of "CM Punk" chants and the WWE actually had Lee and Paige do a double switch from when they started their feud, with Lee now serving as a babyface and Paige coming off as a heel.
Punk walked out on the WWE in January prior to the Monday Night RAW telecast on the day after the Royal Rumble due to frustration with how he was being used and from being burned out from the rigorous travel schedule.
Lee's return made many fans believe that Punk would come back as well, but his contract expired earlier this month and things between the "Best in the World" and the WWE are said to be worse than ever.
The WWE has avoided mentioning him when possible, especially in the last few months, but now that Lee is back the "CM Punk" chants have returned with her while the WWE has not turned it into an angle yet despite Paige taunting her at an untelevised event with the GTS.
Punk has been doing his own thing since leaving the WWE, especially in recent weeks since his contract has officially expired. Punk has been at Comic Con in San Diego for Nerdist and wrote on Twitter that he's having a great time:
I have t had this much fun in a long time. Thanks to everyone who made it great! @NerdistDotCom @jonahray @MattMira @jasonaaron @GerryDuggan

Lee and Paige are expected to battle once again for the Divas Championship at SummerSlam on Aug. 17 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles in what is speculated to be some sort of gimmick match, possibly involving some other Divas.
