8 Ways AJ Lee Had A Huge Impact On WWE Divas Division

By Scott Carlson /

8. Actual Mic Skills

Putting a live microphone in someone€™s hands can be a risky proposition. You could end up with someone like the Rock or Steve Austin, or you could look like Jeremy Piven referring to €œthe SummerFest.€ With the Divas, there just haven€™t been many good options for someone who can handle a live promo or interview on Raw. Would you trust Summer Rae or Cameron on the mic? AJ Lee showed that a woman could get on the mic and command attention without screaming €“ though that would help from time to time €“ and hold her own with whoever else was speaking, male or female. It€™s a quality that is lost on the current crop of Divas. A promo is many times better than simply relying on the announcers to paint a picture or using a Total Divas crossover to get a message across.AJ was fearless on the mic, delivering some scathing remarks and not holding back when it was warranted. She could turn typical €œbathroom break€ segments into really watchable programming. It will be interesting to see if other women start to get more promo time to fill the gap in light of AJ€™s departure.
