AJ Lee wins Vickie Guerrero Divas Championship Invitational


NEW ORLEANS —Ten years after sitting in the rafters of Madison Square Garden, watching
WrestleMania 20 with her father, AJ Lee finally has
her WrestleMania moment. Facing seemingly
insurmountable odds in the Vickie Guerrero Divas
Championship Invitational at WrestleMania 30, AJ
showed why she has held the title for 294 days. In a frantic scramble that featured 14 dangerous Divas
battling to score the first pinfall or submission, AJ
used her smarts to retain her title, tricking the
referee into thinking Naomi had tapped out to the
Black Widow. AJ’s road to retaining her title wasn’t easy. She had
13 other Divas targeting her from the get-go,
including Natalya, Naomi, Cameron, Eva Marie,
Summer Rae and The Bella Twins—stars of the hit
E! reality show Total Divas—along with Aksana,
Layla, Emma, Alicia Fox, Rosa Mendes. And if that wasn’t enough, there was Lee’s own bodyguard,
Tamina Snuka. With Vickie Guerrero leering at the bout from a
perch at ringside, AJ and Tamina were forced to
stand back-to-back as the bell rang and every other
Diva pounced on them. The match broke down into
a frenetic brawl almost instantantly, resulting in
bodies flying everywhere. Natalya nearly put Mendes, Fox and Cameron into a triple
Sharpshooter, until Eva Marie rolled her up for a
near fall. The red-haired beauty even showed a little
moxie, standing toe-to-toe with Tamina for a
moment.

With the referee struggling to control the chaos,
The Bellas took advantage, executing a double
dive. However, sisterly bonds didn’t matter in this
one-fall bout, as Nikki dropped Brie with The Rack
Attack. Natalya soon took out Tamina with a discus
clothesline, taking out AJ’s only ally in the contest. The Divas Champion watched her bodyguard get
clocked, then turned directly into an attack from
Naomi. Somehow, though AJ reversed the hold,
spinning into the Black Widow. Naomi struggled in the hold, dropping to her knee,
but refused to tap out. With the referee focused on
Naomi’s left arm, AJ grabbed  her foe’s already
weakened rightappendage and tapped it against the
canvas, being so careful as to keep her deceit just
out of the official’s view.

Having survived a battle with nearly every Diva on
the roster on The Grandest Stage of Them All,
there’s one question that has to be asked as The
Black Widow continues her reign over the Divas
division:Is there anyone who can take the Divas
Championship away from AJ Lee?

Divas Champion Paige vs. Tamina Snuka

Paige may have unwittingly backed her way into winning the Divas Championship from AJ Lee, but to keep hold of the Divas division’s top prize, she’ll have to survive a one-on-one contest with AJ’s muscle, Tamina Snuka, at Extreme Rules. After spending months in AJ’s corner, helping the sinister skipper secure the longest Divas Championship reign in history, Tamina stepped out of the shadows on the April 15 edition of WWE Main Event to win a No. 1 Contender’s Battle Royal. Her dominant display in the match bumped Tamina to the head of the line of contenders, and on May 4, she’ll set her sights on The Diva of Tomorrow. Watch Paige defend the NXT Women's Championship at ArRIVAL The matchup is a fascinating one for fans of Divas action. There are obvious parallels, such as the fact both competitors grew up in wrestling families.
