WINC Watchlist: AJ Lee’s Greatest Matches

Lee came up in WWE alongside Kaitlyn, and one of her best matches to date was against her friend at Payback in 2013 where Lee won her first Divas Championship. The women were given almost 10 minutes for their pay-per-view match, which led to one of the most important victories in Lee’s career.

Lee earned the right to challenge Kaitlyn for the Divas title by winning a battle royal on an edition of “Raw.” While the match didn’t have much story behind it, initially, Kaitlyn started to receive gifts from a “secret admirer” following Lee’s win, which turned out to be Dolph Ziggler, who was alongside a heel Lee at the time, and Lee’s bodyguard, Big E Langston. It all turned out to be a mind game planned by Lee, however, which helped her get inside the champion’s head when Langston dropped Kaitlyn in the ring during the reveal.

Kaitlyn wasn’t playing around to start off the match, and she threw Lee over the commentary desk to try and take her out early. Lee rallied quickly, however, and hit double neck breakers to the champion and locked in a sleeper. Kaitlyn looked to have the match won with a big shoulder off the ropes, but Lee popped up to lock in the Black Widow, and Kaitlyn countered into a pin attempt.

At one point in the match, Kaitlyn removed Lee’s belt, but it was Lee who clocked the champion with it behind the referee’s back. Kaitlyn caught Lee off a cross body, but Lee quickly moved into the Black Widow once again. Kaitlyn again escaped the hold and hit a spear to Lee. The champion attempted another spear, but went head-first into the turnbuckle, allowing for Lee to regroup enough to lock in the Black Widow a third time for the victory.
