Heat on AJ Lee Following Tribute to the Troops Backstage Incident

- AJ Lee reportedly has heat on her with WWE officials after she allegedly caused a scene at the Tribute to the Troops show in Washington. According to the report, AJ saw NBC personality Michelle Beadle, who was hosting, speaking with CM Punk backstage and lost it. Lee apparently delivered an "obscenity-laced tirade" at her.

As the report goes, several people in the company were embarrassed and upset that Lee was "coming off like her character in real life, and not in a good way." It is believed that she will be disciplined. Punk is reportedly upset with WWE officials over the incident and posted the following to Twitter:

It's difficult to always try to do business the proper way with a company that refuses to practice the same standards.

AJ Lee was told by a WWE producer they were filming a backstage segment for the WWE App (or on dot com) with her and Beadle. When AJ Lee went to rehearse the segment, Beadle acted like she didn’t know what AJ was talking about. WWE officials were also surprised and Lee was pulled aside and berated. AJ tried to explain and was under the impression the segment had been cleared with Beadle and by production. CM Punk, who is AJ’s real-life boyfriend, stepped in and was enraged, believing AJ Lee was setup.

The word among wrestlers backstage at today's WWE TLC pay-per-view event in Houston, Texas, was that Lee did not approach Beadle due to jealousy, but because she had spoken to Punk in a disrespectful tone. Lee approached Beadle after Beadle had a conversation with Punk, not during a conversation between the two as had been previously reported.

Beadle had remarked something to Punk in a disrespectful manner that allegedly upset him, which led to Lee searching for her—what Beadle said cannot be confirmed. It is said that Lee approached the popular television personality and told her that she was not to speak to her boyfriend in that manner again and if she did, there would be a problem.

One wrestler who witnessed the incident is denying the claim of Lee raising her voice and cursing at Beadle.

"Anyone who said that is a liar," said the wrestler, who spoke under the condition of anonymity.

Since Beadle is a celebrity, there is heat on Lee over the ordeal. The same wrestler remarked, "Celebs are untouchable in the backstage scene. WWE wants them more than they need any wrestler, so automatically, the wrestler is going to be wrong here, even when [Lee] isn't really."

Beadle acknowledged rumors of an incident with Lee this morning on Twitter. In response to a fan remarking to her this morning on the social media outlet, "You should have slapped AJ Lee when she got in your face," Beadle stated, "Meh. I thought it was a joke." She then added in response to an upset AJ Lee fan, "Hon...it was done in front of company people. I didn't say a word. I thought it was a joke."

UPDATE 4: Michelle Beadle has issued a statement regarding the report of her incident with AJ Lee on her Twitter:

Once and once only: I've known CM Punk for years. Considered him a friend. When I saw him at the arena, I said 'hey f&$?face'. The exact same way I talk to everyone. His girlfriend was no where near this. And I kept walking along with my assistant and two members of WWE PR. Next thing I know, I'm being yelled at. I honestly thought it was a joke. Period. The event went on and it was amazing.

So I hope we can move on from this ridiculously lame 'story.' As for the crazies, BLOCKED! And Happy freaking Holidays!!!

I like Beadle a lot she is great point blank Aj was set up or in the wrong I have seen punk and Beadle talk multiple times on twitter. For aj to be upset is dumb people shouldn't make excuses punk taunts and tease people on twitter him having it done back to him should be fine. If someone set her up I feel bad for her and I am happy Beadle didn't take it serious
