Would love to see an AJ promo exactly like that. Feel free to post.


I'm talking about her tone, delivery, etc. She's been playing this "crazy chick" persona for quite awhile and this didn't seem like anything new on that end.

Well the gimmick hasn't changed obviously, but I think that promo was very different from her usual mediocre stuff. She showed great intensity and changed between angry and vindictive quite a lot. One of the best diva promos I have seen in a long time.

I don't even understand why she's still called a "crazy chick". She's in the most stable relationship she's ever been in and has been working alongside Ziggler and Big E as a collective unit for quite a while now. She's clearly spiteful and vindictive but I'd hardly classify her as being crazy.

It was alright. Don't get me wrong, it was a great... for the Divas division. They still treat women like shit and use them as nothing more than valets. Either actually take time to reconstruct the Divas division or completely take the division off, but please stop humiliating women any further. Every time they use Natalya now, I absolutely cringe at what they made her into. I wish she would have bailed like Phoenix did.

But who knows, there's actually going to be a Divas title match at a PPV that had a decent promo for it was actually on RAW. Maybe it's the start of something great, but always like before, I'm not getting my hopes up.

Aren't they shitting on Kaitlyn as well? Lol.
I remember AJ and Dolph making fat jokes about her :harvey:

Her screaming the good lines the writers wrote for her were pretty cool, but her facial expressions and acting still annoyed me.
Best I've seen her in months but not hard to do. Good segment and this is the best build the Divas' Division has had in a long time.
Looking forward to hearing the crowd reaction in Chicago.

I think it was a step in the right direction for the Divas' division, but overall that's about as far as I can take it. My concern now is whether the writers will keep it up and if they'll handle the division properly moving forward from that segment.


Sadly the promo didn't make me feel sorry for Kaitlyn at all. Instead it made me feel sorry for everyone else who has a vagina for having to be associated with that mess. :haha: How many women don't know how to fake cry? Apparently at least two, as witnessed on Raw with Stephanie and Kaitlyn's horrible acting abilities.


They still kept a bit of the "love" twist to it (which I don't care for) with AJ talking about Kaitlyn being unlovable, which to a degree makes me almost wonder if another "admirer" will pop up, not as a secret this time, to offer comfort and prove AJ wrong. (Surely not..... please not.) Regardless, the acting was so atrocious that it greatly diminished any enjoyment I may have gotten out of the segment otherwise. Add that to the fact that it followed a phenomenal DB / Rollins match, and it was just so anti-climatic and cringe-worthy. That should have happened earlier in the show, in my opinion.

I remain one of the forum's biggest AJ Lee haters, but I can agree that creative and writers had some good lines for AJ, and at times she even did pretty well delivering them. However, her acting was still lacking, and between that and Kaitlyn's REALLY bad acting, it was still hard for me to enjoy it. I'll just remain hopeful that it's a good indication of improvements in the Divas' division and see where they take it from here.

Watching now, god Big E is horrid on the mic. This is either the greatest geek gimmick ever or he flat out blows. Yeah let's skip to AJ coming out, men used you and shattered you like glass? #Facebook This is Ryback's turn but with a vagina, you weren't there for me you were going for the title rawwrr..Eh this is decent, nothing exceptional though. That divas title ain't worth shit baby girl. God this is average, I'm sorry but I don't see how this is great, I feel no sympathy for Kaitlyn either am I just a heartless prick?

Tl:dr - That was not the balls to walls experience I hoped for

I think Big E was good for this part. He played the shy guy coming out to the lover good. It was hard for him to admit the feels so he was not looking at her much, and he talked slow and stuttered a bit. I think this was a good use for him honestly.

I did consider that tbf although the rest of his mic work has been similar so I wasn't sure if they were playing to his strength or he was playing the role really well.

But of course my favorite part was Big E dropping her :troll:

Could go either way, but here it worked well for him.
