Wrestlinginc is reporting that AJ Lee was almost fired ;ast year for similar reasons that Del Rio was. Meltzer addressed the matter again on the F4WOnline message board in response to a user comparing it to Lees outburst at Beadle. He revealed that WWE officials had decided to terminate her contract over her unprofessional conduct, but were overruled by Vince McMahon. A.J. wasnt safe at all, Meltzer wrote. There was a reason she wasnt fired and it had nothing to do with Punk being her boyfriend nor how good a performer she was, although her star power did play into it. He continued, The decision was made to fire her but Vince overruled it because he saw the big picture. Its very complicated, but in that issue, Vince was savvy way beyond those underneath him and saw what would happen long-term and made the big picture smart call. If that happened now, the situation would be the same and she wouldnt be fired for the same reason. Her being fired for that specific incident would have caused a chain of events to happen next that Vince thought would do the company more harm than good. There is no guarantee he was right in how he thought it would play out but it was far more foresight than is usually exhibited in these situations. Source: bit.ly/1rcTmSK
