10 Booking Steps For AJ Lee Vs Stephanie McMahon At WrestleMania 31
5. Stephanie McMahon Makes It Personal By Mentioning AJ Lee's Husband
On the penultimate RAW before WrestleMania, Stephanie once again comes out to criticize AJ Lee. But this time, she makes it personal by mentioning AJs husband, CM Punk. This is a risky move, given the situation surrounding the man at this time, but its this kind of realistic storytelling that would really make this feud work. Stephanie would cut a shoot promo of her own, condemning Punk as an arrogant, self-absorbed loud-mouth who complained way too much and who always wanted his way. Stephanie would make reference to Punks infamous promo and the Summer of Punk, criticizing him for both his insulting remarks against her family and his own hypocrisy for being the voice of the voiceless while leaving the company without so much as a thank you. Stephanie would then belittle AJ for being married to such a man, as well as make personal digs at AJs own difficult past. This would push AJ to her limit, and she would slap Stephanie as hard as possible. This would then lead to a cat fight of sorts, with the two women fighting each other before being separated by agents. This event would, of course, get replayed quite often, to emphasize the shock of another Diva attacking Stephanie, who is often portrayed as untouchable. Stephanie would be both enraged and embarrassed by the situation, leading us to the next step
