20 Ways WWE Killed CM Punk And AJ Lee's Passion For Wrestling

11. How Does Anyone Make Sense Of This?

In any professional endeavor it's nice to work in a company that recognizes your considerable talents and rewards you with creatively invigorating and sensible work that uses those assets to the best level possible. AJ Lee being "protected" by Tamina Snuka is one of those moments where, try as they did, it just wasn't going to work. The logical leap that one has to take to believe that AJ would seek successful protection from someone on the roster who to that point had never really been presented as threat is significant. Ultimately, when things like this occur in any professional endeavor, both the super-talented employee and the less-than-ideal work they're required to do suffer in the end. Maybe this was the angle that was AJ's point of no return.
