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

The WWE is selling the bracelet that has been the crux of CM Punk and Drew McIntyre's feud for $9.99. The original creator has weighed in on the matter. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), @victoriaaze_ seemingly did not know the WWE was going to start monetizing the bracelets. They said, “A heads up would have been nice lol,” in an X post.

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.
