* HilariousInHindsight:
** Zig-zagged. On the ''[[Wrestling/WWERaw Raw]]'' before ''Wrestling/WWEToughEnough'' premiered, she announced herself as "the next WWE Diva" which seemed hilarious since she would be cut from the competition on the first episode. Then even more hilarious when she revealed she'd been signed.
** She wore a blonde wig as part of her gimmick in FCW - and would get embarrassed whenever it was ripped off. As of late 2013 she became blonde for real.

* UnexpectedCharacter: ''Four and half years'' since her last wrestling match in February 2016, she (under her real name Ariane Andrew) made a completely unexpected appearance in Wrestling/AllEliteWrestling as Nyla Rose's partner for the AEW Women's Tag Team Cup Tournament. Despite being eliminated by Tay Conti and Anna Jay in the first round, Ariane surprised most viewers (who admittedly had held low expectations) with her solid performance, with some even calling on AEW to sign her as a regular.
* XPacHeat: Subverted. Cameron is TheScrappy as far as ''Series/TotalDivas'' goes, but she has fans of her wrestling and character in the ring.

* CommonKnowledge: The Melina/Alicia Fox match Ariane cited as her favorite on ''Tough Enough'' was often claimed by smarks to be a SquashMatch - just to further sell the 'this idiot knows nothing about wrestling' narrative among her detractors. Brie Bella even mistakenly said she thought it was the match that had been on Raw the previous week[[note]]Which it most certainly wouldn't have been; ''Tough Enough'' was taped in 2011, and Melina had turned heel at the end of 2010, and she and Alicia Fox never wrestled each other on Raw again due to both being heels until Melina's release.[[/note]] - but Melina and Alicia Fox wrestled each other most in the summer of 2010, with their ''Wrestling/SummerSlam'' bout being the only one considered truly lacklustre (due to Melina apparently injuring her knee at the start of it). Ariane never clarified which specific match it was, but they did have one later in the year on [[BShow Superstars]] that ''Website/DivaDirt'' called "PPV worthy".



** Her famous botched pin attempt seems to be eclipsing this. If one went exclusively by smark opinion, Cameron was eliminated from ''Tough Enough'' for the above reason, had that one match and then did nothing else at all.

** Cameron zig zags through this trope. She was ''despised'' by wrestling fans after her appearance on ''Wrestling/WWEToughEnough''. She did gradually get fans after they saw her work in FCW - and even more after she debuted on the main roster. Seeing her "real life persona" (the show is scripted, so it's probably not Ariane's real personality) on ''Series/TotalDivas'' has made some people hate her even more, though.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The Funkadactyls break-up was abruptly stopped, apparently because Cameron wanted to go down to NXT to get more training. However, even before then, their only match happened on the pre-show of a PPV. Said match ended with Cameron cheating to get the win, and it was never followed up on. As Naomi had been putting herself forward as a title contender, it could have set her up as a solo competitor. They did eventually give it some resolution with a match on Raw, once the ''Series/TotalDivas'' episode dealing with their break-up aired.



* WhatAnIdiot: Was suspended after it was revealed she'd been pulled over for an DUI. While several Superstars and Divas have done this, Cameron decided it would be a good idea to lie about who her employer was. And she tried to bribe the policeman that pulled her over.

* UnfortunateImplications: Discussed on [[http://podcastone.com/Talk-Is-Jericho "Talk Is Jericho cameron"]] regarding the Melina vs Alicia Fox incident. Why ''shouldn't'' someone [[GirlShowGhetto enjoy a Divas match]]? Some girls were reportedly very offended backstage when the episode aired. Granted the logic here has several gaping holes in it (like the fact [[CompletelyMissingThePoint that Stone Cold seemed more annoyed at the fact she picked a random squash match with no significance, than the fact she picked a womens match]])

** Her match with Asuka on NXT was praised, as Cameron held her own for the most part and has visibly improved in the ring. Many believed that she was even ready to return to the main roster. At the very least, many people consider her ''leagues'' above Wrestling/EvaMarie, to the point that they'd preferred she'd be pushed in Eva's stead. Then she was released.
