AJ's career is in some respects tragic as she was on her way out just as the women's revolution was about to begin. One of the biggest what ifs in history IMO. She quite literally was carrying that division for years and was the only relevant female in the entire company for some time. One of the best talkers in history. And I could even make the argument that her pipebomb was the greatest women's promo ever until Becky Lynch became "The Man" and starting lighting it up on the mic.

[@scootinand]

I genuinely believe that without AJ Lee, the Women's Revolution wouldn't have happened. Maybe they would have gotten a chance later on, but she pushed the game forward by years and could have wrestled circles around most of the men in the locker room given the chance.

It happened only because the fans pressured wwe.. no single diva could make them change their mind but losing money? fans tending a hashtag which implies you don’t care about women? that does the trick ..

[@randumo24]

@@unrealtalks7242 No, it did happen because of AJ. Among other reasons, because AJ proved that women could actually make them money. For years women just plain didn't earn WWE money, but AJ came in and changed all of that. You're right about WWE caring about money, but they care about making it. AJ was one of the biggest merch sellers in the entire company, and that was one of the biggest reasons that they could even think about pushing forward. They wouldn't be losing money if there wasn't money to be lost in the first place.

[@unrealtalks7242]

randumo24 They still we’re giving them an embarrassing amount of time to get matches and segments done.. I love the Bellas but they were screwed over in that time too.. AJ, Paige, Nikki, and Brie were the only entertaining women’s talent from the years 2014-2015 and they still got treated like crap.. It wasn’t until Charlotte, Sasha, Bayley, and Becky came in that they coined it the “Women’s Revolution” .. Not until they started fighting in cages, hell in a cell, money in the bank ladder matches, etc. did the women get any type of equal respect as the men, women were still called “Divas” when AJ was there.. ( I’m not saying it’s right, just saying what it is.. I was a huge part of the IWC on Instagram during 2013-2016 and saw all this going down and kept constant updates on my page for it )

[@ReaperRedeemer2112]

It's unfortunate how WWE basically tried to erase AJ Lee from their history after she left, mostly due to their sour gripes with CM Punk.

[@JaimeD.]

AJ Lee was my favorite WWE Divas Champion when she defeated Kaitlyn in 2013 and held it until the *Raw After WM 30* in 2014, losing to "Anti-Diva" Paige. When she left, I part of my heart went out with her. Despite early beginnings, AJ Lee left her mark in the landscape of "Sport's Entertainment."

No doubt AJ Lee was ahead of her time, but kinda weird there hasn't really been anyone like her since

[@btf_flotsam478]

It's hard to be a pioneer in American women's wrestling when Americans actually care about it. In case you think I'm being flippant: look at how many female wrestlers Australia produced before the women's revolution. The reason it wasn't similar to the limited number of male wrestlers (or the number that Australia currently produces) is because Australia, thankfully not being America, generally more fucks about women's sport and doesn't need some "women's revolution" to produce good female grapplers.

The top 3 are absolutely deserve their spot. AJ's pipebomb always be one of the best moment happens to make people realize that many female competitor want to step up their games, not just a Diva. Beth & Eve were the best one in 5 minutes era and decided to do Super Glamslam after creative reject their idea. Eve even want a ladder match but it didn't happen... yes, she left the company to has family, but more reason is she feel WWE has the glass ceiling that she can't break. She decided to pass the torch to the next gen by pitch idea to creative to give Kaitlyn to win championship in Raw Big episode and it on her hometown (the original plan is she will hold the title longer around 1-2 PPV).

I got into wrestling around the time aj lee was about to reach her prime , she was still the nerdy , baby face , her impact was intense , not just in wwe but sports in general , she beat out Serena Williams as the athlete of year at one point , she wasn’t just a great wrestler , she was good in the ring but her storylines and characters , she was just EVERYTHING taht made wrestling popular and mainstream in the first place , the closest female superstar I’ve seen since then is Sasha and Becky’s the man character , that’s it , she was just 25 when she retired , too early to do so ,she just missed the nxt roster coming up to the main one , the idea of her being in the same era as Sasha and Becky is just amazing , I wish we could’ve seen it , aj understood what needed to be done for the future she worked for the greater good , she even named Sasha , bayley in her slammy award speech , she just had the vision that so many women in her time lacked ( ofc with a few exceptions)

In 2010 she really improved a lot and wrestled way better then many others diva. Because of Mccool her true skill wasn’t fully understood but in both house show and tv show she defeated Melina, kelly kelly, Rosa, Eve and more and in 2012 when she was no longer with Mccool she scored 75% above win where she defeated some solid talented divas like Beth Phoenix, Eve, Natalya. But wwe didn’t give enough opportunity to Layla for Championship title since wwe was more eager to try out new talents like Aj, Kaitlyn etc. So eventually she was again out of limelight and her script with fandango, ziggler, hornswoggle was unnecessary and experiment to form new laycool with summer ray was not a good move by wwe since ray was no where near Mccool to perform such role. Her long absence from divas title race took her career to dark.
