Many felt WWE rushed into the John Cena-AJ Lee relationship at a pace too aggressive for a successful soap opera storyline.
If the courtship could be referred to as rushed, how will one describe the breakup?
Just a week after formally teasing John Cena’s concern with AJ’s “craziness,” the storyline romance turned into a storyline screwjob.
Lee initially supported her man in the main-event of the Tables, Ladders and Chairs pay-per-view, preventing Vickie Guerrero from assisting Dolph Ziggler. Her facade of support for Cena included tapping into his moveset for the attack on Guerrero, including the infamous Five Knuckle Shuffle.
But as Cena began setting up the ladder for his ascent to the Money in the Bank briefcase, a smiling AJ turned evil as she knocked the ladder over, sending Cena bouncing off the ropes and then into a superkick from Ziggler.
Ziggler looked confused at the turn of events, but when a crazed-looking AJ flashed a smile and then skipped out of the way, Ziggler knew he had to make his move. He ascended the ladder and won the match.
Ziggler’s victory closed the show, but it was far from the only notable moment on the Brooklyn-hosted PPV. Full results, courtesy Marc Middleton, follow:
