AJ

[Deleted]

Personally, I'm glad they're keeping this all on TV and backstage segments, no need to have her interfere in classic matches like Bryan's had the last two months. Eventually something's going to happen with her, its been well-done so far, a background thing that could come to the forefront. And unlike some of these types of angles, it's actually developing a little more each week.

AJ came up all smiley sand told Punk she enjoyed watching him beat up Daniel Bryan last night. Punk acted really awkward and weird around her and told her she was crazy. Eventually AJ starts freaking out, and after some hesitation, Punk embraced her and told her she would be okay. She all of a sudden snapped out of it and eye-f***ed the hell out of Punk, who relented and said "you know, I kinda dig crazy chicks....." and walked away.

I thought it was a pretty cool segment.

Interesting, I think AJ is absolutely adorable BTW. I cannot boo her even if she was a heel. Truth be told, I am not quite sure what she is.

I don't think AJ truly has the hots for Punk. I get the feeling it's an angle to eventually get Bryan when it's all said and done.

That's pretty much the only way this angle works for me, at this point. If AJ doesn't turn heel out of it, I will be sorely disappointed.

I see 2 scenarios as being possible:

1.) She'll either get with Punk to piss Bryan off and do it so he fails at his shot at the belt, sort of payback for all he's done.

2.) She'll get with Punk and eventually betray him costing the match and in turn Bryan becomes champion and they get back together as the heel couple.

I don't see any other options.

AJ is playing the role of Misa in this and Bryan's Light. Punk of course is L.

Those of you who watched/read Death Note know how this plays out.

[Deleted]

Tonights segment pretty much sealed that AJ is plotting to throw Cm Punk into a ploy to lure him and than betray him to help dbry win the WWE title to get back in his good graces.

And what gave it away was how fast she went from crying to eye raping Punk , she is slowly becoming very very manipulative..EVE take lessons because AJ got it perfect lol.

But yea that switch immediately gave away exactly how good her act is but yet basically told you what is going to happen within that moment.

[madness50]

I cannot buy AJ as a heel at all. She is way too cute and she is so tiny.

1) She's not going to get payback on Daniel Bryan by costing him a title match, because Daniel Bryan has already lost multiple times cleanly without her having anything to do with it. The whole booking of Daniel Bryan treating AJ poorly was so that the faces that he was actually going to wrestle at the PPVs could get the comeuppance and benefit from her interaction with Bryan indirectly. Her costing Bryan a title match doesn't give the rub/highlight to the top guys that are being booked for the main events, which is not WWE philosophy. And the WWE won't book a match between Bryan/AJ without making Bryan look like a Heath Slater-level goof and with the whole PG thing, so there's no chance of that scenario going through.

2) Possible, but WWE avoids booking the predictable whenever they can.

Going by WWE's history with women, she's either going to be embarrassed by Punk in a Eve/Cena like fashion to the approval of the crowd and/or she's actually with Kane or some other 3rd party. I am actually quite sure that she's either gonna end up alone or she is with someone who is not Bryan/Punk to play both of them.

Just think of her as a cute little animal with rabies.

That is hard for me to imagine lol. I dont want her to turn heel, she is awesome and she is also a comic book geek.

I'd buy that line of thinking more if someone had used Bryan's mistreatment/psychological mindf***ing of AJ in a promo before their match.

Also, R-Truth lost a PPV Main Event WWE Championship match because a kid threw his cup of water at him.

The whole "abuse of AJ" thing was to get Bryan some heat to counteract his babyface momentum so that the faces in the storyline could beat him and make him pay for being a "bad guy" to the casual audience. She is there to enhance Bryan's character to main event the house shows, and wrestle top guys on PPV. That's what a valet is supposed to do. He's not Stevie Richards to her Victoria, he's too important and positioned far too high for that. If she was going to cost him a title match, she would've already done so, before the booking made it apparent that why would the face need help from AJ to beat Daniel Bryan when they can do it by themselves. It would only make Bryan look dumb for being outsmarted by not the top face he's wrestling, but by his woman and take away the edge from the victory for the top face of having the same woman be the reason why he won. WWE simply doesn't book women this way.

Or they just drop the whole thing with AJ and never mention it again. A few months/weeks from that time we see AJ in a random diva match.

No, WWE books women in a way where they can't parlay the momentum they would get from a "humiliating a heel" moment into anything (as evidenced by Eve, who, after humiliating Michael Cole at Over the Limit with King, JR and Bret Hart, did a whole lot of nothing, killing any sort of positive response she would get as "the lady the humiliated Cole").

Also, R-Truth lost a PPV Main Event WWE Championship match because a kid threw his cup of water at him, ergo, any finish to a match is possible.
