looking back, do you think this helped the "divas revolution"?
watching it again, i never realized how annoying the bella's were in it. "SAY IT TO OUR FACE!"

It was a terrible rehash of something her husband did better. Nothing more.

Not really... I mean it's not like the Women's revolution was kicked into gear immediately afterwards... it took 3 years before it showed up on main WWE Television.
and at least 2 before it even got into gear on NXT.

The Bellas no-selling the whole thing was really f***ing annoying.

Hate it. It buried the entire division and everyone in it. Terrible.

I loved it. And I loved how the Bellas got progressively more annoying as it went on, making it somehow even easier to empathize with AJ.

I always have thought it was terrible. Basically buried everyone and said "you're all trash and thus I'm the champion of trash!" Uh... Congrats?

WWE were saying 'no' to putting her and Paige in a cell for even three minutes. This was October 2014.
The revolution might have happened anyway. It might have been sped up because fans rightly complained online. But it's clear that they wanted Charlotte and Sasha to be their stars, to lead it, so they waited for them.
Fair enough. I just hope AJ gets the recognition she deserves. Her feud with Kaitlyn, story-wise, is better than anything I've seen on the main roster since.

She won the Golden Snowcone for Best Promo of 2013 for this. Possibly the only time someone has had a recorded victory over CM Punk, Paul Heyman and even Dusty Rhodes for promo work.

It's the best worst promo. Like it was AJ Lee's best promo and she delivered her lines well and actually has some conviction passion in her voice. It starts of bad than it turns into a decent I'm the best in the world heel promo and it completely derails when she made her edgy "Blowjob Zinger."
But holy shit the promo has aged terribly and it just looks really terrible in hindsight. Especially when AJ Lee would return for like 3 months and take 4 months off and comes back automatically in the title picture like three different times before retiring for good. Now Natalya, Naomi, and Nikki continue to wrestle to this day with Naomi being the number one babyface of SD and Natalya the number one heel on SD at the moment.
But seriously the Blowjob comment just set back "The Divas Revolution" another 2 years. Yay let's degrade my opponents as cocksuckers and when I eventually lose my title it's only because she "gave fellatio" to the right guy so the Divas division is being carried because of that. "Am I right guys?" There's no way that comment will backfire and cause a chant from a Night After Wrestlemania Crowd right? Oh and did I mention my boyfriend is CM Punk while I cut the style of promo he's most famous for and will name this promo after his promo. Just such a stupid line

I'm glad AJ seems really happy and has found some success with her book, as it increases the chances that she will never be on WWE TV again.

Just such a stupid line She didn't call it Pipebombshell, Punk did Which makes it worse because she was accusing The Bellas got where they are because of there boyfriends and copying there mannerisms while she does the exact same thing. Except this time Punk is marketing her. Like I don't hate the promo as most people. It is cringey when you can see her clearly doing her best Punk imitation before it gets better with her own spin and derails completely when she starts making Blowjob comments. Like that comment feels like the equivalent of bunch of guys in a frat party trying to start a heated a cat fight between two drunk women for our horny amusement. |

From a kayfabe standpoint, it seems disingenuous for AJ to mock the other women for sucking their way to the top after AJ herself had already dated half the male roster.
And from a non-kayfabe standpoint, yeah, this is shitting on the entire division for no real reason.

Lawler saved it with his witty and brilliant commentary line afterwords.
