My money is on CM Punk's semen. If those reports he knocked AJ Lee up were true then she never would have gotten clearance to wrestle again so soon and end Paige's reign. Paige's reign wasn't that bad just really uneventful. With more time it could have potentially been better (or worse).
Now, I have to go catch a cab home. It's going to be kind of tough since CM Punk's semen is all over my money.

Posted it in another thread, but will re-post it here: Making a 21 year old the top star in your division overnight is a horrendous idea. Even if she is a perfect performer with no weaknesses whatsoever, what is she going to do for 15 years? That's if people begin to accept her, which didn't happen. Most American fans had (and have) no idea who she is or why they should cheer for her. They should've done for her what they've done for Summer Rae, and to a lesser degree, Lana. Let people get to know Paige first, and then, if people want to see more, give her a more prominent role. Then you can make her champion if people like her. It also burns a year or two to prevent her from sputtering in the doldrums right out of the gate.

Getting the Divas title on day 1. as a placeholder so that AJ can come back from vacation and job out the entire division again makes it even worse.

Getting the Divas Title so quick wasn't the problem to me (Gail Kim did it), the problem to me was how it was handled.
Paige's character in NXT was completely forgotten about, for this shy, weak, seemingly pathetic champion that would only get like 4 moves of offense in the entire match. Couple that with like 12 matches with Alicia Fox (They worked well together but it got old) and the fact that Paige never really was given the chance to look good as a champion, it really just felt like she was holding the belt with no semblance of a storyline or purpose.
Her match with Naomi I thought was Fantastic, and honestly, a Program with Naomi would have been a great thing for her, but AJ came back, and immediately, she lost the belt, and all semblance of push. Paige never had a direction, she won the belt, and that was it, she fought women without a real purpose for 3 Months until AJ was ready to come back.
I'm upset that Vince thinks that a 21 Year Old has outlived her usefulness to this company, but in reality, it was his fault for the booking and how she was portrayed in matches and such. You can't put all the blame on Paige here, but it's the WWE, and they will.

AJ: "I'm leaving, I'll be back when I feel like it."
Vince: "Okies"
AJ: "K I'm gonna come back soon, gimme the belt back."
Vince: "Okies"
Vince: ...What, what are you looking at divas? REACH FOR THAT RING!

AJ has banged every one in the office. It's the only explanation for her entire run. She pulled a Trish Stratus.

Fluke victories for almost every match she participated in since her debut on Raw.

The fluke victories didn't help, but let's not get crazy here and say she's completely spent as a fixture of the division. Not everyone strikes it lucky on their absolute first push. As a matter of fact, very few do.

She beat AJ her first night, which considering how long AJ had had the title and how she had basically beat everyone else in the division, that should have really never happened. Add to that AJ then immediately buggering off, so she didn't get any rematches or promos or any chance to work with the only person with any juice in the divas division and Paige was up the creek with no paddle.
I mean you've got a totally new character with no intro at all, hand her the belt, take away the only person with any juice in the division, stick her in matches with the same diva all the time so she can't be booked that strongly because she still has to wrestle her 87 more times and is it any surprise she didn't get over?

Paige failed because she didn't get over with the crowds. She didn't get over with the crowds because they booked her matches horribly and let everyone else be the focus during her reign. Also didn't help that she didn't emote well and didn't have any real prescense on the microphone.

Well, giving her absolutely zero mic or promo time while giving her opponents more attention certainly didn't help..
