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

3. Cool To Be Geek

AJ€™s original incarnation was as the Geek Goddess, with WWE playing up her nerdy tendencies €“ her love of video games and comic books €“ and incorporating that into her character. She wasn€™t portrayed as a super-sexy Diva, but more as the girl you dream of meeting at a comic book convention. It was a departure from the vast majority of Diva characters in recent years. Similar to being an anti-Diva, AJ€™s geeky character paved the way for female characters like Bayley and Emma, who don€™t fit the mold either and qualify as €œgeeky€ characters. Bayley especially resembles AJ€™s early days, which the Black Widow herself has recognized. In her last WWE appearance on Raw, AJ sported a Bayley €œI€™m a hugger€ T-shirt for her match.One can only hope that WWE recognizes that having women show this side of their personality is actually a good thing.
