I wonder if that's what WWE is trying to set up. This feud between AJ and Kaitlyn is becoming the best feud for the divas since Trish and Stephanie.

Re: AJ Lee vs. Stephanie McMahon feud

I really enjoyed the DIVAs/Stephanie/AJ segment on RAW. The DIVAs division has really not been this interesting in some time, and it's great to see them actually giving them a bit of time to get a storyline across.

I think her feud with Kaitlyn will continue for a little while, and hopefully she doesn't lose the title at any point in that feud. I'm not sure where they're going with the whole Stephanie/AJ thing, but I'd like to see Stephanie introduce another DIVA to feud with AJ like Kharma or as another post suggested, bringing up Paige. I'm finding it very interesting though and I'm looking forward to seeing where they take it.

Re: AJ Lee vs. Stephanie McMahon feud

That midget AJ wouldnt stand a chance in the ring with Stephanie McMahon this woman was the womens champion and fought against Trish Stratus in the ring. AJ better start running for the hills as Stephanie is gonna get her and beat her ass

Re: AJ Lee vs. Stephanie McMahon feud

Never thought I would care about a divas feud, but I would be all for an AJ/Stephanie feud. They showed last night that they have some pretty good chemistry with one another on the mic. Just keep Kaitlyn and the rest of the divas out of it. None of them come close to Stephanie and AJ on the mic. They don't deserve to be anywhere near these two.

Re: AJ Lee vs. Stephanie McMahon feud

I found the segment weird tbh they set it up as if to get a surprise return/debut (this moment would have been an ideal time to drop someone like Paige onto the main roster) instead we get Steph stamping her authority and an awkward Kaitlyn promo and beatdown.

Re: AJ Lee vs. Stephanie McMahon feud

You know, by the way the other divas were standing behind Kaitlyn when she came out, makes me wonder if underneath it all, Steph is gonna send them all at AJ, one by one, to either take her title, make her life hell, or both.

This will do either 2 things: get more heel heat for AJ as she keeps turning back and defeating every challenge in a smug manner.

OR...

It could garner enough sympathy for her to keep putting up with McMahon bullshit that it might actually turn her babyface again. I don't know, I'm just throwing out theories.

Oh, and BTW I agree. Kaitlyn IS a horrible actress, and not that good on the mic to boot. Hell, I think Eve acted better than her, and that's saying something.

Also, I think AJ has potential to be one of the top talkers based on her delivery, like what she did to Kaitlyn before Payback, but she needs more consistency. She sometimes enunciates too long, or either speaks too fast we can hardly catch up. And sometimes, she does both in one segment. If she finds that proper balance, she'll be one of the best mic workers in the company, IMO.

She can certainly handle her own, as evident with her actually going toe to toe with Steph on the mic.

I don't really notice the changes in her mic work that much but I think that any erratic/inconsistent delivery is probably intentional to represent her 'crazy' personality. Quite clever if it is that. Little things like that can really add to a character.


Back to Steph/AJ, I think it is awesome how the divas are getting this kind of treatment. It could turn into a great feud however, I think it will just be a part of a bigger angle where Steph and Vince are all for 'family friendly entertainment' without bullying etc...
I wouldn't say no to a steph/aj match though.

Re: AJ Lee vs. Stephanie McMahon feud

Kaitlyn sounded atrocious on the mic. The part when she started screeching like a 17 year old girl really ruined any potential for her to get better.. :no:

However, her tits make up for her lack of mic talent. :punk2

Re: AJ Lee vs. Stephanie McMahon feud

This post from uproxx perfectly sums up some of my negative feelings towards Stephanie upstaging the entire Divas Division last night: The Best And Worst Of WWE Raw 6/17/13 | With Leather

WORST: The Hunter’s Wife Becomes The Hunter

AJ Lee and Kaitlyn had a match at Payback based on like three years of personal backstory between the two. It was a good match with a (relatively) clean finish. It had nothing to do with Stephanie McMahon.

But LO, here arrives Big Steph to tell AJ Lee that she’s doing a number on feminism and ruining the Divas division, or something. The division where the title belt is a sparkly pink butterfly. The lady telling AJ that she’s doing anti-feminist things is the same one who got pies thrown in her face by the Planet Of The Apes apes. The one who let John Cena slap her on the ass. The one who made out with Eric Bischoff while he was dressed like her father. The one who faked a drugging, kidnapping and rape to make her dad mad. The one who rolled around in hay and shit with Trish Stratus. The one.

THEN, as if showing up to lord herself over AJ wasn’t enough, she interrupted Kaitlyn trying to challenge AJ to a rematch by telling Kaitlyn to never interrupt her again. And also that none of the other Divas should mess with her. A woman who has NOTHING TO DO WITH THE STORYLINE showed up to run down the champion, run down her challenger and run down any other possible challengers FOR NO REASON.

The worst part of THAT is that WRESTLING IS NOT REAL. If Stephanie was a real person reacting to real situations, sure, she can be justified in doing whatever she wants. But guess what? Kaitlyn didn’t really interrupt Stephanie. She was WRITTEN to interrupt Stephanie. When AJ replies to Stephanie by saying she married a superstar, and Stephanie responds with a comment about how that wasn’t original? YOU GUYS WROTE AJ TO SAY THAT. YOU ARE PURPOSEFULLY NEUTERING THE HEEL AND FACE CHARACTERS ON YOUR SHOW. The woman who is in charge of what happens on the show can’t pretend like she’s getting mad at people for letting things happen on the show. It doesn’t work like that. It’s why Triple H shouldn’t be able to be a C.O.O. in real life AND in character AND a wrestler, because he gets to make all the decisions, faces no consequence and can take credit for everything. Stephanie has now officially ceased to be Triple H’s wife, and is now just Triple H in a wig. God, imagine how much better we’d all be if he’d just kept dating Chyna.

Congratulations on being cheered over everybody else, Stephanie. You don’t have to wrestle next week, or try to sell t-shirts, or keep crowds interested in you to keep your job.

Re: AJ Lee vs. Stephanie McMahon feud

I'm still not sure of the point of the whole Stephanie/AJ, Stephanie/Divas segment, because I'm about 99% sure Stephanie will never wrestle again. So...why the hell did she randomly come out and trash the 2 divas specifically who most of the audience agrees put on the best diva match in quite some time less than 24 hours prior?

I can't possibly want to believe Triple H has rubbed off on her that much...but I'm struggling to figure out another reason that makes sense.

Re: AJ Lee vs. Stephanie McMahon feud

Stephanie has no business in this. When was the last time we saw her getting involved in the Diva division?

It's no coincidence that she put herself in this feud since AJ and Kaitlyn match was one of the better matches at Payback and gained a lot of attention for division.

Re: AJ Lee vs. Stephanie McMahon feud

You know Ivory said before in a shoot, there is a limit to how high you're allowed to reach as a woman in WWE, and if you start to get beyond that, they do something to pull you back down and bury you with the audience. Maybe that was sour grapes talking on her part. I don't know, I'm not backstage. But certainly the bizarreness of Stephanie randomly and out of the blue inserting herself into the divas division and trashing everybody including the new champion 24 hours after a highly praised women's match...is interesting timing to say the least.

This reminds me of a video Michelle McCool posted on her YouTube channel, in which while discussing Melina, it leads to her talking about their match at Night of Champions that year, how it was better than most of the guys' matches, and yet they got very little praise, and for the most part they were discouraged.



Chris Jericho was one of the very few people that stood up for Michelle and Melina, and it really shows you how very low that good, competitive female wrestling is on the concern list for the WWE. It's definitely below shilling for Social Media, that's for sure.

If this is true, then it further confirms the bloated egos of the McMahon in general, and how I'm fucking sick of seeing them on my TV.

Steph vs AJ has potential to be the female equivalent of Stonecold vs Vince if they allow AJ the freedom to start mindfucking Stephanie.

I really don't understand this? Why would Stephanie be involved? She has nothing to do with Kaitlyn/AJ, which is a fairly well developed and long term feud for the Divas belt, something on the order of like a year and a half.

When Stephanie told Kaitlyn to shut up, I was kinda mad. Like who the fuck is Stephanie McMahon to tell Kaitlyn to shut up?
Shouldn't she be with some comedy writers and failed soap opera flunkies banging out the next "awesome" dance segments?
Because you know that shit last night was NOT written by her or her ass-slapping cronies. Probably was Dutch and Heyman.

Why was somebody who until 3 weeks ago a total irrelevancy in WWE for years verbally upstaging the champ, the number one contender and the whole division? Did Triple H really influence her that much?

Cuz she went out for no good reason and BERRIED the Divas.

:berried

http://www.411mania.com/wrestling/news/288012/Update-on-Stephanie-McMahons-Interactions-With-The-Divas-on-Monday.htm

The segment on Monday's Raw, where Kaitlyn interrupted Stephanie McMahon, was inspired by a real life event. On the show, Kaitlyn came out to confront AJ Lee, and when Stephanie McMahon headed up the ramp, she scolded Kaitlyn for interrupting her, and instructed her to never do it again. Word is that this is based on an incident that took place backstage recently where Stephanie McMahon was interrupted, and caused a scene.

I really don't get the appeal of this AJ/Kaitlyn fued, at least compared to other feuds over the years? Yes they're rivals, but I just don't see it, as being that great. At least Trish/Lita feud was entertaining, and had some great moments. This feud between AJ/Kaitlyn has been luckluster to say the least.
