* AJ LEE APPRECIATION THREAD*

[RaverDan]

AJ Lee is taking a 6-8 month break from WWE.

Yeah, where did you hear this? And if true, it's better than never coming back, so it's kinda good news. It is a long time though

AJ Lee is currently out of action with an injury. She had been working hurt so they could wrap up the feud with Divas Champion Nikki Bella.

WWE officials were planning on doing a significant injury angle to write AJ off TV but that was nixed for an unknown reason.

AJ being away is why Naomi and Natalya were moved into contendership for Nikki's title. Original plans had Naomi challenging Nikki but they may go with Natalya.

The belief within WWE is that AJ will be back in 2015 some time.

I don't think it'll be 6-8 months, but it's a good thing that she's getting a break like this most importantly for her health, and at least she's having a bit of an "extended" holiday break with her husband. Get well soon, AJ.

Backstage Heat on AJ Lee, Her Shot at Divas, Another Recent Incident?, More
Posted by Eric Arrington December 26, 2014 0 Comments
- We noted before that AJ Lee is currently out of action for a few more weeks with an injury.

There has been a lot of negative talk about AJ within WWE lately. Her Slammy Awards acceptance speech, which wasn’t scripted the way she delivered it, was seen as a big shot at every Diva on the roster except Paige. There was also some negative talk on her for taking time off to be with CM Punk in Las Vegas for UFC 181.

It appears there was another incident with AJ also. She was removed from the WWE Main Event intro a month ago and that reportedly coincided with something that happened backstage, described as a “hiccup” with her. This happened before anyone in the company knew about Punk signing with UFC.

WWE Rumors: AJ Lee Has Heat Backstage Over Slammy Speech, UFC Appearance
by Jack Jorgensen 1h ago

Apparently there are a good amount of people backstage in WWE that are not very happy with AJ Lee lately.
It’s not known yet whether or not AJ Lee’s WWE career is coming to a close, but if it does, she apparently might not be leaving with very many friends.

According to a new report from the Wrestling Observer, there is a lot of heat on AJ backstage for a couple reasons. First off, some were not too pleased with her Slammy speech a few weeks ago where she basically bashed the entire Divas roster. Also, there are some that are upset she took time off to be at UFC 181 where her husband, CM Punk, announced his UFC signing.

AJ’s Slammy speech was focused on, and it was speculated that she first was saying a subtle goodbye to fans, but The Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting she was actually taking shots at the WWE Divas roster. The way she spoke was not the same way the speech was originally scripted, and AJ was very complimentary of Paige, but seemed like she slammed the rest of the Divas.

In addition, it’s being said there is some backstage heat on AJ Lee for taking time off to be with her husband, former WWE Superstar and new UFC signee CM Punk, in Las Vegas for UFC 181. There may be more to the story as she was removed from the WWE Main Event introduction video last month after another backstage incident, but this was said to have happened before anyone knew about Punk signing with UFC.

It seems as if Lee has the same attitude of her husband in the sense that she does not care who she upsets with anything that she says or does.

She is still in the Smackdown! intro however.

Funny that we're hearing about this "now" since she's on a break for her injury, and not when it instantly happened like with that bullshyt with Beadle last year. I'm calling pre-emptive shenanigans on this, since most likely AJ's coming back and will likely be involved in the title picture again or a big-time match (Hint hint: Stephanie) if she's back by WrestleMania time.

But if true, it's yet another case of WWE's petty and childish fukking butthurt feelings. You wanna be pissed with Punk? Fine. But leave his wife the fukk out of it. If the shoe was on the other foot, and Stephanie was the one being harassed and pressured through all sorts of bullshyt, you don't think Big Nose Hunter wouldn't do anything in his power to make sure his wife wasn't being fukked with? Don't worry, I'll wait.

I'm sorry, but who cares what she said in her acceptance speech? It's no secret that she's not very enthused with the Divas roster and that she prefers the NXT ladies, because, you know, they could actually wrestle. She's just saying what everyone else is thinking, that's all. The other Divas need to step up their game, pure and simple. As for her taking some time off to be with her husband, as long as she cleared it with her bosses, I don't see the problem. Both Stephanie and Vinnie Mac love her, so I don't see her leaving anytime soon, unless it's her choice to make. If it's heat from other wrestlers backstage, oh well. You can't please everybody

You know, I just watched that Slammy speech, and I didn't see nor hear a single line of AJ "bashing" the main Diva roster. She just put over the NXT girls, because she knows those girls are the future and that at the very least, it shows great professionalism and support, something that is severely lacking in that toxic cesspool up in Connecticut. And like you mentioned, what she was trying to do with her promo in 2013 (before salty butthurt feelings ruined it) was trying to get the rest of the girls to, in the words of Money Mayweather, step their game up. It seems only Naomi and --and I'll give her props for it-- Nikki answered the bell.

As for spending time with her husband, why should they get up in arms about that? IT'S HER fukkING HUSBAND! As long as she's showing to work every week, busting her ass, going through whatever bullshyt your retarded monkey staff of a "Creative" team comes up with, and even DURING a supposed injury, what should be the fukking problem?

If anything, AJ should be the one having a problem, considering that their inept ways of diagnosing proper health problems almost led to her husband DYING, not to mention making sure that his termination papers were sent overnight so that it would arrive on their wedding day. And whether they knew, or cared, or chose neither, they had to have known that it would affect AJ also, considering that it was HER big day as well.

I would not have blamed AJ for saying "fukk you" to the WWE for that and never coming back at all, just like I wouldn't blame her if she left as early as after WrestleMania. While that circus act of a company is sinking like Titanic, she can enjoy her wealth, fortune and life with her husband while also being by his side as he starts his MMA career.
