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

4. Her First Main Roster Win Came Against Tamina

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1UXoQ707JA For months, Tamina accompanied Divas champion AJ Lee to the ring, watching her back and helping her successfully retain her title against any and all challengers. She was integral to the continuation of AJ's historic championship reign, especially when it came to neutralizing the likes of Nikki Bella and Cameron while the champion mixed it up with Brie Bella and Naomi. Like Diesel was to Shawn Michaels and Chyna was to Triple H, Tamina was an insurance policy of sorts, someone to ensure that AJ left arenas across the country with her title intact. But Tamina and AJ did not always have such a chummy relationship. On June 10, 2011, AJ scored her first main roster win by knocking off the physically superior Diva in what was considered a major upset. It was the first time that WWE fans got the feeling that the tiny Diva was a resilient, gutsy performer able to defeat any opponent, regardless of the size differential between them. It was, in many ways, her coming out party, even if she would not be regularly featured in an in-ring role for well over a year.
