Paradoxically balanced at the time, the chasm between the WWE Divas Champion and the remainder of the division was painfully apparent at WrestleMania 30's Vickie Guerrero Invitational, where every female on the roster vied for AJ Lee's crown.

At the time the longest reigning Divas champion in company history, AJ was locked in a desperate bid for credibility during the league's lowest ebb shortly before the 'Revolution'.

With a division split between below-par wrestlers and 'Total Divas' quasi-celebrities, her best moments invariably came in singles bouts or the spectacular promo she cut several months prior against the TV talents that she felt far beneath her.

Easily winning the lame spotfest, Lee was the only star in the only ever defence of the butterfly belt at the 'Showcase of the Immortals'.

The match had nothing going for it, and even during brief highspots, commentators had zero interest in adding gravitas following it just minutes removed from the end of The Undertaker's streak.

Lee would eventually pick up the win with her Black Widow submission hold on Naomi after each woman was permitted a big move in an unconvincing sequence of spots to signpost the eventual finish.
