Michelle Beadle issued the following account on her Twitter page in which she responds to reports of a backstage incident with WWE Divas Champion AJ Lee at the Tribute to the Troops tapings last week. Here is what she wrote:

"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!!!Now I'm headed out to do Sunday things, you f- faces. Mwahahahahhahaha"
