Rumour has it that Stephanie felt CM Punk made some inappropriate comments when visitng NXT, and now refuses to be in the same building as him. HHH sees SV as a future main event money maker, but the Punk/AJ Lee program is the hottest thing they've got right now, so he is trying and failing to keep both Punk and Steph happy.

Andrade being let go is tangently related to this - Andrade had heat with Punk, but Andrade also had heat with half the men's locker room, and ALL the women's locker room. Punk wanted Andrade gone, and now he is, but lots of people wanted Andrade gone (Zayn, Rollins+Lynch, Bayley, Orton, Ripley - anyone that is friends with Charlotte)
