10 Things You Need To Know About WWE Divas Champion AJ Lee

2. She Is The Longest-Reigning Divas Champion In WWE History

Ok, fans are well-aware of the fact that AJ Lee is the longest-reigning Divas champion in WWE history. Michael Cole, JBL and Jerry Lawler do a fine job of drilling it into the heads of fans watching on a weekly basis. But what does that really mean? It means that, at a time when championships change hands rather frequently due to the ever-changing landscape of the professional wrestling industry, one young woman remained so incredibly over with the audience that WWE Creative and management could not justify taking the title off of her for even a day during an entire 295-day span. The entire cast of WWE's "Total Divas" reality show fell at the feet of the champion, who made no bones about her displeasure for being overshadowed and underappreciated in favor of whom she believed to be lesser-talented individuals. No one during that entire span so thoroughly dominated a division the way that AJ did. It was a testament to the work she put in, the connection she had with the audience and the fact that she was so vastly superior to the other women on the roster. Fans may never again see another run the likes of AJ's, which lasted from June 2013 until April 2014.
