WWE Divas Champion AJ Lee and husband, former WWE Champion CM Punk, are in the middle of a fan bashing controversy.

A fan reportedly posted his encounter with the couple during a recent Blackhawks game in Chicago, wherein he asked the retired WWE champ for a photograph. Punk allegedly smirked at the fan and ignored his request, leaving him angry and humiliated.

Though the couple kept silent about the fan snubbing allegations, another WWE Champion John Cena said nothing but praises about CM Punk during an interview with the Fighting Spirit magazine.

When asked about how he felt about Punk's inclusion in the WWE 2K15 even if the wrestler already quit from the sport, Cena said, "Whether he's here or not, he's certainly left a mark in WWE. He's got to be in the game, and it's cool that that moment is not forgotten."

Cena and Lee used to have a romantic storyline together before she married Punk in real life on June 13, 2014. Lee and Cena shared a kiss on the ring on October 2012 and even won the "Kiss of the Year" at Raw's Slammy Awards during that time. They ended their love tandem when Lee kissed Dolph Ziggler and helped Big E Langston attack Cena because she claimed that he only broke her heart.

Meanwhile, both Lee and Cena had painful upsets during the Raw matches recently.

Lee lost to Alicia Fox during the Divas match, after Fox distracted her with a fake quarrel with Paige outside the ring then pulled her in the Surprise Package to bag the victory that night.

On the other hand, Cena and tag-team partner Dean Ambrose was defeated by Kane, Seth Rollins and Randy Orton during a 3-on-2 Street Fight.

Cena will be facing long-time rival Randy Orton on Sunday in another "Hell in a Cell" match to determine who will face Brock Lesnar in the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
