This past
Monday Night,
AJ Lee stood in the center of the ring with the WWE Divas Title in her
possession for an unprecedented 295th day. As more than 15,000 members
of the WWE Universe looked on in
New Orleans
with millions more across the globe, the Divas Champion was on cloud
nine. Why wouldn't she be? The "Savior of the Divas Division" fended off
13 other challengers to leave WrestleMania 30 with her title intact.
AJ's euphoria was a sharp contrast to the nervous jitters of the young
lady about to saunter down the ramp. As the NXT Women's Champion, Paige
is no stranger to confrontation … at NXT. But this was a different story
and a much different arena. This was the flagship television show of
WWE, Monday Night Raw, and Paige was about to make her first impromptu
appearance.
"I decided to throw caution to the wind and just do it," the new Divas Champion told WWE.com.
The
rest, as they say, is history. Paige attempted to congratulate AJ on
her accomplishment, but AJ decided she would embarrass “TheDiva of
Tomorrow" for attempting to share the spotlight. In what might have been
the biggest backfire of the year, Paige reversed the
Black Widow to deliver the Paige Turner and capture the WWE Divas Championship on her
first night.
"It still doesn't seem real. Sometimes I've gotta pinch myself just to make sure it is," Paige admitted.
