She is stephanie now.

Its the outfit.

She's all grown up.

Between this and they way Punk was after his promo at the beginning of the show, WWE needs to stop this thing where they have a character get over naturally via a unique aspect of their character and then decide "Oh, he/she's getting over! Now let's strap them with a very typical bland character and let them get over with that!"

AJ was getting over and they robbed her of her weird, crazy, quirky personality traits in favor of a stereotypical business suit GM personality.

Punk meanwhile suddenly starts acting like stereotypical whiny heel #217 who's angry because he has to defend his title in a triple threat match and insulting faces that he got along with a week ago just because he's a heel now.

He's finally fed up with them "stealing his spotlight" and "disrespecting the WWE Championship". Is it that hard to believe that a guy gets pissed about The Rock and is now a dick and in a foul mood until he can remedy the situation with The Rock? I know that I am the biggest prick in the world when I am pissed off about something and finally get fed up with it and can't really do anything about it. While they toned down AJ some, I don't think she acted like "SMH Lite".

I was fine with everything punk was doing until he got mad at AJ for making it a triple threat. That's not "Best in the world" attitude.

AJ should be acting even more crazy as a GM..wouldn't that make sense? Have her make up matches outta the blue that make no sense whatsoever,,like Cena against Hornswaggle or something. Have her be real indecisive, asking random wrestlers what she should do next .

This would only last a few weeks though until somekinda female mentor would come in and show her how it's done. Then she improves and dresses classier.( They shoulda just had her come out in typical AJ clothes to start, to show how she wasn't quite ready).

This was a fun show live. I'm glad they had all the replays. It gave me time to buy a Daniel Bryan shirt, which I had planned to do before the show but couldn't because of the fire.

Going back and watching it on DVR, it's really easy to skip all that stuff anyway. That's the way I've been watching Raw ever since DVR became a reality. I like the three hours. It gives people more time to shine.
