WWE: 8 Shocking Developments Since WrestleMania 30

7. Turning The Paige In The Divas Division

In hindsight, it makes sense that AJ Lee€™s record-setting Divas Championship title reign ended shortly after WrestleMania. After all, She dominated the division for nearly 300 days, almost 10 months. AJ also had just beaten nearly every Diva on the roster in the fustercluck of a Fatal 14-Way match. It€™s worth mentioning that AJ never had a singles feud with Naomi due to her eye injury. Perhaps that could have been a good post-Mania feud for her. But the manner in which AJ lost was a shocker: to a newcomer who also happened to be the NXT Divas champ, Paige. It would be like Adrian Neville coming out and challenging Big E or the Ascension challenging the Usos. She wandered out to €œcongratulate€ AJ, who took offense and put her title on the line, which she promptly lost. Had she been booked more as a Honky Tonk Man-type champ, that conclusion would totally make sense, but she won a lot of her title defenses (mostly) on her own. This is a development that could spark a much-needed revival of the Divas division by resetting things. Paige as the new champ has finished opponents with three different moves so far, and she is winning her matches, even the non-title ones. The matches have been no-nonsense competitions, not booty-shaking, flirting with the crowd affairs (that goes for her opponents too). Maybe we€™ll finally see women€™s wrestling being treated with a modicum of respect and legitimacy.
