WWE's first delicate crack at what would eventually become the Divas/Women's revolution was about as well handled as could have been expected during a positively toxic time for the division.

Paige had dethroned the then-longest reigning Divas Champion of all time on the post-WrestleMania edition of Monday Night Raw, then lost the belt back to her in identical fashion when Lee made her own surprise July return.

A complete blurring of heel/babyface lines and a lazily-written love/hate dynamic between the pair saw the title change hands again between the 'frenemies', but this second (of four) pay-per-view battles in 2014 was by far their best.

Still only being allotted an insulting five minutes to use on the bloated card, the two raced through a host of big spots, including Paige dropping AJ over the guardrail from an electric chair position to take control, and Lee pushing the 'Anti-Diva' off the top turnbuckle to the floor from a superplex attempt only to meet her with a flying clothesline seconds later.

With the crowd finally invested, AJ scored a dramatic nearfall with a shining wizard, but found her Black Widow reversed into the Ram-Paige DDT to score Paige her second (and final) Divas title on her 22nd birthday.
