History Awesome / AJLee

* Her promos before and after a match with Brie Bella, the night after she lost the title to Nikki. Not only did she successfully blast the twins by pointing out that they had to work together to beat her (and even then it wasn't even in anything resembling a real match), she also told them that [[TakeThat 'Talent isn't sexually transmitted'.]]

* It's more Funny than Awesome, but when accidentally tagged in against Wrestling/{{Kane}}, AJ beats him... [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment by skipping around him like a schoolgirl]], [[TheBigDamnKiss and then planting a HUGE kiss on the lips]], causing Kane [[VillainousBSOD to be utterly flabbergasted]], [[LetsYouAndHimFight forcibly tag in his partner]], [[VillainExitStageLeft and silently walk out of the arena]]. Either AJ [[IncorruptiblePurePureness was so damn sweet and cute]] it sent [[CardCarryingVillain Kane]] into a VillainousBSOD, or [[StalkerWithACrush SO]] [[MadLove DAMN]] [[CrazyAwesome CRAZY]] that '''[[EvenEvilHasStandards KANE]]''' [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere wanted to put as much distance between him and her as possible!]] Either way... [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu AJ Lee just sent]] '''[[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu KANE]]''' [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu PACKING FROM A MATCH!!!]]

** That was not only a reference to Jerry being a DirtyOldMan and wanting women younger than him (granted, Lawler's in his sixties, so he has some leeway there), but also him being accused in the past of being with [[JailBait barely-legal girls]]. It also contains a touch of SelfDeprecation, since based on one of the examples on her [[Funny/AJLee Funny moments]] section, she knows she could be mistaken for younger because of her appearance—and takes it all in stride.

** Even better when you think about it is that WWE could ''not'' punish her for this like they have done with Wrestling/ZackRyder and the Colons, and other lower card talent complaining about their spot. If she'd received even the mildest depush from this, feminists, WWE fans, basically everyone would call them on it and create a PR black hole. Also of note is [[BadassGay Darren Young]] doing the same regarding their tour of a homophobic country around the same time.

-->'''AJ''': I have the date I won this title tattooed on the back of my neck! This is all I cared about.
-->'''Jerry Lawler''': So, uh, you got any other tattoos?
-->'''AJ''': I think I'm a little too old for you, Jerry, I'm 26. I know you like 'em younger.

** That was not only a reference to Jerry being a DirtyOldMan and wanting women younger than him (as of September 11, 2013, Lawler's 63 years old, so he has leeway there), but also him being accused in the past of being with [[JailBait barely-legal girls]].

* '''''TLC 2012''''': Had enough of Wrestling/JohnCena's thoughtless toying with her affections and threw him off a ladder, leading Wrestling/DolphZiggler to win the match and retain his MITB (Money in the Bank) briefcase for the World Heavyweight Championship. The pop from the crowd when she turned on Cena was deafening.
* Her epic ReasonYouSuckSpeech to the ''Series/TotalDivas'' cast on the 8/26/13 Monday Night Raw.

*** The even more awesome part about it is how she manages to win the crowd to her side despite the fact that AJ's the heel in the feud.
* On the September 9, 2013 edition of Series/WWERaw, while doing guest commentary, she runs circles around Wrestling/MichaelCole, Wrestling/JerryLawler and [[Wrestling/JohnBradshawLayfield JBL]], but ''no one'' got it worse than Lawler:

** Even better when you think about it is that the WWE could ''not'' punish her for this like they have done with Wrestling/ZackRyder and the Colons, and other lower card talent complaining about their spot. If she recieved even the mildest depush from this, feminists, WWE fans, basically everyone would call them on it and create a PR black hole. Also of note is [[BadassGay Darren Young]] doing the same regarding their tour of a homophobic country around the same time.

* Wrestling/PaulHeyman proposes to her, saying that he likes them young, dumb, uninhibited and ambitious. AJ's response is to pretend to consider the offer for several seconds... and then [[ArmorPiercingSlap she slaps him]] and walks out.

* Winning the Divas Championship at '''''Payback 2013''''', fulfilling a lifetime goal. That wasn't all though. Her victory came in a match against her (kayfabe former, real life current) best friend {{Wrestling/Kaitlyn}}, and in one of the best-received Divas matches in years, receiving 3 stars from [[Wrestling/TheWrestlingObserverNewsletter Dave Meltzer]].

* Surpassing Maryse's record as longest-reigning Divas Champion at 213 days and counting. At Wrestlemania 30, she had held the title for 295 days and successfully defended it against every diva on the roster. The next night on Raw? It takes someone she's never faced in Paige to lose the title.

* She won the Divas Battle Royale by very effectively PlayingPossum: early in the match, she gets kicked in the face and pretends to be knocked out until there's only one other contestant left, Layla. Layla thinks she's won until the ref tells her that to win, she must get every opponent out of the ring. So she does her best to haul an 'unconscious' AJ over the ropes... until AJ pulls away and kicks her out of the ring.
* Paul Heyman proposes to her, saying that he likes them young, dumb, uninhibited and ambitious. AJ's response is to pretend to consider the offer for several seconds... and then [[ArmorPiercingSlap she slaps him]] and walks out.

* AJ flatly telling Vickie Guerrero to either fire her or shut the hell up.

* Her match against Kaitlyn on WWERaw in March 2013. Kaitlyn beats the crap out of her, they end up outside of the ring and Kaitlyn tries to spear her... and AJ simply moves aside and watches Kaitlyn spear herself on the barricade, knocking herself loopy and leaving her unable to continue the match. And AJ spends the entire time from the spear onwards [[PsychoticSmirk smiling]] as she goes back into the ring and lies down like she's watching TV.
* She won the Diva's Battle Royale by very effectively PlayingPossum: early in the match, she gets kicked in the face and pretends to be knocked out until there's only one other contestant left, Layla. Layla thinks she's won until the ref tells her that to win, she must get every opponent out of the ring.

* Returning in epic fashion on the 6/30/14 WWERaw, taking the Divas Championship back from Paige in a similar BatmanGambit that garnered Paige the title, capped off with an IronicEcho slap!

* Surpassing Maryse's record as longest-reigning Divas Champion at 213 days and counting. She eventually lost the title after 295 days, with her final successful defence coming at [=WrestleMania=] XXX when she defeated the entire Diva Division in one match.

* In real life, after Stephanie [=McMahon=] tweeted in support of Patricia Arquette, thanking her for fighting for women's rights, AJ tweeted Stephanie, essentially calling her a hypocrite for talking about fighting for women's rights when the Divas do just as much as the men and get paid a fraction of what the men get.

* AJ refereeing Punk vs Bryan at Money In The Bank 2012. Once she gets back after accidentally getting hit by Punk, she picks up a chair, goes back into the ring, pretends to offer it to both men and then sets it down in the middle of the ring, steps back and reclines against the ropes, smiling smugly as they fight for it.

* AJ flatly telling Vickie Guerrero to either fire her or shut the hell up.

* Surpassing Maryse's record as longest-reigning Divas Champion at 213 days and counting.

** And as it turned out, she wasn't lying... but [[DownerEnding sadly, it didn't last.]]

-->'''AJ''': I'm too old for you, Jerry; I'm 26.

** Even better - Jerry just resorted to acting like a petulant child because he couldn't come up with a decent retort.
