Can't believe I forgot about her. Holy hell, in hindsight, she really wasn't adding anything to the Divas roster, was she? What on Earth could she possibly do when she comes back? Feud with Paige? The Bellas? She's honestly better off just staying gone. Poor lass peaked in 2012 and has just kind of been around doing nothing remarkable.
AND WHILE WE'RE AT IT, WHERE IS TAMINA?

Tamina had a nasty injury if I recall.

I'd rather see some of these women head down to NXT and put on some good matches than continue floundering on the main roster just so WWE can promote Total Divas.

Once they took her away from the Bryan storyline...it began her decline. Yeah, she went on to win the belt but by then people were caring less about her. Has anyone else fizzled out so quickly? 2012 was her year though...after that not so much.

Has anyone else fizzled out so quickly? 2012 was her year though...after that not so much. Unless they were actually going to do anything with the Divas division, she always was gonna fizzle out as soon as she stopped interacting with main eventers and started having three minute matches and rarely talking. That said, considering they don't care about the Divas, she was about as prominent and as over as one could be in that environment while she was champion in 2013. She's got nothing left to accomplish now, though, and she can't put over the people she wants to put over cos they're not on Total Divas. Some people backstage probably hate her cos of Punk, I don't know why she keeps coming back other than to avoid being labelled a quitter. She looked visibly embarrassed to be there during the month before she got injured, but then it's hard not to be when you're given lines like 'Lesbehonest, talent isn't sexually transmitted.'

Has anyone else fizzled out so quickly? 2012 was her year though...after that not so much. It's very easy to fizzle out when WWE hates the division you belong to and then... actually places you in that division. It's what the Bellas, Brie specifically, mentioned very clearly at a recent public appearance. Unless they were actually going to do anything with the Divas division, she always was gonna fizzle out as soon as she stopped interacting with main eventers and started having three minute matches and rarely talking.

Yeah, people are forgetting how over she still was for all of 2013 despite being a mute champion. Her shitty storylines after the summer return affected that, though.

I'm kinda glad I no longer have to endure someone playing "crazy" by skipping around the ring and head-tilting.

I think in her case, the company was banking on Bryan recovering from his injuries quicker.

I have no desire to see her comeback. She's average in the ring and cringeworthy on the mic.
"I am the divas division"... Yeah, no thanks.

Honestly, I wouldn't be too cut up if she didn't come back. She just didn't add a huge amount to the division.

Then again, with how WWE treats the Divas division, you can make an argument that no one adds much to the division. I mean the Bellas are suppose to be Vince's favorites and in AJ's absence we've had a storyline that seemed like a commercial for TD with Tyson & Nattie's marital problems & Paige randomly turning Face and becoming besties w/ Natalya. Then there's the current angle that seems more centered on Paige's skin color than anything else.

Yeah, not like she was playing a delusional heel speaking lines that had been written for her. Rag on people's delivery all you want, but it's amazing how much people blame wrestlers personally for the content of their promos when we've seen for a fact that Raw is rigidly scripted and unless you're John Cena you can't really deviate from it.

I like AJ, her character had become pretty dull and unlikable though. If they bring her back I think a heel-turn would make sense, since Paige is now the main babyface.

The women's matches on the house shows are so much more impressive than the TV matches.
And back on topic, I don't miss AJ one bit. She used to be one of my favourite people in wrestling. Lana, Sasha, Charlotte and the Bellas are filling my diva quota perfectly

I used to like her, but after she was portrayed in her latest run I disliked her. She was such a douche.
