I forgot AJ was Divas Champion

[Savage Gambino]

You'd think I'd remember that sort of thing, what with the division basically being booked around her, but after seeing someone's signature saying how long she's had it (over 190 days, apparently), I realized I'd legitimately forgotten she was Divas Champion. And, now that I think about her reign, she hasn't really done anything of note since her feud with Kaitlyn ended back in the spring, has she? What does that say about the state of the Divas Division right now?

[sunnytaker]

she's been working her way through the cast of Total Divas mostly with Brie and Nattie taking turns getting title shots, think Niome may have snuck in once. the rest of them have just kinda been thrown in as tag partners to one of those two vs. AJ/Tamina or Total Divas vs. the Divas not on the show and who cares if some of them are faces (Kaitlyn) they're against Total divas so boo them all!

one of the problems is that there's no one on the face side that is getting a reaction (no matter how much they try with the bellas- did we mention brie is engaged to daniel bryan? cheer her dammit!-- only very recently have i noticed any reaction at all to them) so there's no "popular/plucky face ready to take out the dominant champ with the crowd behind her." thing going to get people wanting to see AJ lose to diva X.

She needs a new challenger. I'd say her reign has been booked badly and that's not on her

It is pretty hard to forget even with the crappy angles, though.

She's the champion most obsessed with putting the title over. Even when the writers ain't helping in that regard.

It's almost as if the divas division and championship are booked to be beneath her.

Huh.

It has been through her sheer force of will that the Divas division is anything of interest at all. Total Divas sucks the life of the division and the creative team gives everyone else NOTHING to work with. Total Divas is their poochy/Cena right now.

I'm pretty sure the writing staff still pitches bra and panties matches.

It's easy to do. The division and the title are worth less than nothing.

You'd think she'd get consistent mic time or anything, though.

The gap between AJ and other women is the smallest it's been since 2012. The writers could make an interesting angle without calling up, or hiring, anyone. They just don't want to. For the first time in awhile, it's not about AJ being favored - it's the usual excuse of the division being marginalized.

As they should TBH, some of them can match her in the ring but charisma and mic skillz? Not really.

the diva's division matters less to me than Indian Cricket at this point, even with Sachin Tendulkar retiring recently.

Who is the US Champion and IC Champion? And who was the champion before them? And the champion before him?

Dean Ambrose and Big E Langston.

Big E. beat Axel, who beat Wade Barrett

Dean beat Kofi who beat Antonio Cesaro.
