Just watched it. It was good but oh my god I wanted to strangle the Bellas. They almost ruined the whole thing by not shutting the f*** up. They made no sense either. All they shouted was "come say it to our faces". AJ was standing on the ramp. Why couldn't they walk up to her and confront her? Also, AJ is the WWE Divas Champion. Do the Bellas seriously think anyone sees them as a threat to AJ in wrestling terms? She could probably kill both of them. What danger would have that red headed mannequin have posed to AJ? The Funkettes and Nattie handled it correctly. Quietly standing there and seething. It looked like Cameron threw one of her poms poms at her but since she was so far away, it just landed ineffectually outside the ring, which was amusing.

She started getting over initially as the sweet but abused girlfriend of Daniel Bryan, when he was nowhere near the main event. That's what directly led to her being involved in the DB/Punk/Kane saga. It's not like she was just shoehorned into angles with main eventers. It flowed in the narrative. She only started going mental and moving from guy to guy as a consequence of DB's abuse. While technically a World Heavyweight Championship feud is nowhere near the main event, kayfabe wise, WWE wants us to suspend disbelief and think that it is. That's the reason the title still exists. In a way they did shoe horn her into angles with main eventers. Sure it flowed in the narrative to float from guy to guy, but did it necessarily HAVE to be Punk, Cena, or Ziggler? Why isn't she making lovey eyes at Jinder Mahal? Why isn't she "fist pumping" with Zack Ryder? Why isn't she jumping in Alex Riley's arms? Why isn't she grabbing two handfuls of Ted DiBiase's Million Dollar Badonkadonk? isn't she making out with Drew McIntyre? Come on, you all know the thought of Drew saying "Ehhjehh" week in and week out would be worth it. Now I'm wishing that they could have done the Drew romance angle with AJ instead of Kelly Kelly. Although given that the storyline featured Trent, that'd be a whole other level of awkward.

It would have been good if...
A) AJ was actually a ring general and could have legitimately made a claim that she could deliver in the ring whereas the others couldn't. Natalya and arguably even Naomi put her to shame.
B) AJ was a good actress. She didn't overact too, too much in this promo, but that might just be because of all her past overacting I have to compare it to.
C)The divas division had enough depth for this to lead to anything meaningful.

She went for Punk I think because in her crazed state, she misread his kindness for actual affection. The whole Cena thing was a botch mainly because of Vickie. A Cena/AJ storyline might have worked. The reason she isn't doing those things with the people you mentioned is that it would be a step down for her. She's a bigger star than all those guys. Why put her with jabronis?

She really needs to get destroyed. Unlike Punk who was fighting his way to the top.
She was the one "kayfabe" who sucked up to the right people and would ride her way to there.
Seriously she has been booked to be the biggest slut in wrestling. How is that supposed to appeal to girls? Because she has small boobs?
Because eh. Nerdy whatever. She was a crazy slutty bitch. Not really a character trait to associate with a face.

This whole thing about AJ being a slut is overstated. It was implied that she was in a sexual relationship with DB, or they "spooned" at least. It was never really confirmed she did anything other than kiss Kane and CM Punk. The whole thing was in part her mental instability where she would project love onto whoever was convienient and an effort to mess with DB's mind. Then she kissed Cena but again nothing further was proven, then she went to Ziggler. So at most, she had kayfabe sex with maybe two guys. Hardly sluttish. Besides, even if she claimed to have slept with all of them, she's insane and an unreliable narrator.

If that's grounds to get people to tone down AJ-related discussion, then the Divas Pics/Gifs thread needs to be shuttered asap, as well as most threads about diva wrestling.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to remember AJ consistently got decent reactions on NXT 3. So that was before she was even on the main roster.

Natalya and arguably even Naomi put her to shame. Natalya is the female Chavo. Knows the nuts and bolts, lacking in charisma. Naomi has great athleticism but just does spots, she's got to be carried. She's one of the few I find truly overrated. based on how she's talked about in this thread. I'd rather watch AJ wrestle than either of them, no question.

Dolph Ziggler has faded because WWE can't decide what to do with him. They can't decide whether they want him in the main event or as a midcarder. My point is that AJ could've worked a romance angle with ANYONE, not just the top guys. Those other guys I mentioned are "jabronis" as you said, because WWE doesn't bother to do anything with them, just as they don't do much with the other Divas. By hooking her up with the likes of Cena, Punk, and Ziggles, they rendered her as being too big for the Divas Division. Maybe if it were Alex Riley, Drew McIntyre and Zack Ryder instead of Dolph Ziggler or John Cena fighting for her affections, those so-called "jabronis" could've kept AJ "in check" so that she wouldn't be so far above the other Divas.
