WWE Night Of Champions 2013 - WWE Divas Championship: AJ Lee (c) VS The Total Divas

[Jack-Hammer]

After interfering in the triple threat match on Raw last night, this match was made for Night of Champions. AJ Lee will defend the WWE Divas Championship against Natalya, Brie Bella and Naomi in a triple threat match.

I don't see AJ dropping the title here. If she drops it at all, I think it'll be saved another month, maybe two, so that WWE can have one of the Total Diva cast members win the strap as part of the Total Divas' season finale. Right now, or at least based on what we saw last night, all three of the gals are aligned against AJ and this match could be used to build tension up between these three, which would be played up as part of Total Divas, since all of them can't be champion.

If she is defending it against three wrestlers, I assume you mean Fatal Four Way. As you said I don't see her dropping the title especially after here #Pipebombshell on RAW last week. Was it last week?

 

[Wolf Pac]

Yeah, I see AJ dropping the title to one of the Total Divas as part of the Total Divas' season finale, I mentioned that somewhere last month. I think it will be Natalya that takes the belt since she's been on a roll recently, defeating both AJ and Brie. Don't see AJ taking the fall though, it'll likely be Brie or Naomi submitting to the Sharpshooter. AJ will probably regain it at Battleground.

Or if AJ retains, I think it will be due to interference from Layla and maybe Tamina. I think more divas will get involved in this feud and side with AJ, eventually leading to a Survivor Series match between AJ & friends and the Total Divas, so since Natalya, Naomi & Brie are all aligned against AJ, I can see those two interfering and helping AJ retain the title in the match.

I'm sticking with Natalya walking out the new champ but I'd prefer if AJ retained.

 

[LSN80]

AJ has to win here.

After the promo she cut, she looks foolish if she drops the strap here. I don't believe they'ld send her out there to cut such a scathing promo only for her to drop the title to one of three Divas from the the reality show. If they did, I'd expect it to be Natalya, and I could get behind a Natalya/AJ feud, but not AJ dropping the title to Natalya in a 4-way match.

But the other Divas in the match have an out, and AJ does not. She's not filming a reality show, the rest are. While I could see the three ganging up on AJ to start the match, much like they did last night, they're going to have to fight each other as well.

And that's where AJ will take advantage, and thus, remain champion. Total Divas is doing fine, ratings wise, that it's not going to need a 'boost' by having the champion on the show. Not yet, at least, and not with the Mid-season Finale coming the night of Night of Champions.

AJ retains here when she pins one of the girls not named Natalya.

I dont see them putting the belt around the waist of someone that 6 months ago was the farting stock of the WWE! It will be a Bella!

Cameron > Naomi

Was very surprised that Naomi got to be in the match over Cameron who seems like the better wrestler between the two.

 

[Mitch Henessey]

Yeah, as LSN pointed out, it would be pretty foolish if AJ dropped the title after the promo she cut a few weeks ago. It's way too soon now. AJ VS the locker room is a storyline that has some potential, but if AJ loses the strap at NOC, it would kill the angle.

I expect AJ to escape by cheating somehow, and slither away from all the madness with a smile on her face. I can easily see the Total Divas turning on one another during this match. Sure, we'll see them gang up on AJ for a while, but when it comes to a pinfall or submission victory for the title, that teamwork stuff will go out the window.

They'll turn on each other, because you have to remember, the vast majority of Divas on the show are supposed to be heartless, narcissistic, and backstabbing divas, who only care about themselves. AJ will escape with the belt to fight another day, and she'll have more "I told you so" ammunition for future promos.

Cameron > Naomi

Was very surprised that Naomi got to be in the match over Cameron who seems like the better wrestler between the two.

You're trolling right? Mrs. Alicia Fox Vs. Melina is terrible. Judging from the little match they showed on Total Divas a couple weeks ago, she can't even take a bump properly.

 

[GeTiTT]

It's hard to say if aj will drop the title at this ppv or retain and start a 1 on 1 feud with 1 of the total divas (Nattie) either way whether she drops the title at NOC or next ppv I see Natalya becoming the next divas champ. It goes with the current story she has on the show. As the most experienced veteran who's been pushed to the back burner and working her way to the top

 

[The Eighties]

I really don't want to see AJ drop the title to any Diva on the roster right now, she's miles more over than any of them and is just plain better. Of course that will be irrelevant if WWE feel the title will benefit Total Divas, however I hope they realize people watch it because of how tacky and terrible it is, much the same reason they watch Jersey Shore and The Kardashians, adding the belt wont increase viewership a jot IMO.

 

[HBsam31]

I think AJ will retain here especially after the promo she cut. I agree with LSN80 that she will probably defeat anyone of the 3 except Natalya. I think she will then drop the title at the next ppv to one of the total divas. I would have liked to see AJ have the title for a really long run, but even though I don't think she will lose it at NOC it is coming.

 

[Dagger Dias]

AJ absolutely MUST win here. This match is a bit strange to me. The only challenger who even comes remotely close to deserving a title shot is Natalya. I couldn't care less about the divas show and this match is not going to change that. The Bellas are terrible, Naomi is barely better than the Bellas, and Natalya has not been built up enough to be believable in winning. The match will probably be the worst of the night. I hope AJ and Natalya at least can try to prove that prediction wrong.

AJ will walk out with the Divas Championship still being hers. She needs it, the belt needs, heck the DIVISION needs her to retain. AJ should have a lengthy and strong reign where she continually defeats every challenger. As for where we go from here, Natalya deserves a push against AJ in one on one matches. That is the best feud they can possibly come up with using the current divas roster. The Bellas should be nowhere near the belt. I hope they and Naomi move on to other random angles while Natalya gets a push of her own that she deserves. Regardless of who the next challenger is, AJ should get the win here.

DAGGER'S PREDICTION
AJ retains the Divas Championship.

 

[torres]

I think AJ Lee loses if this is set up as the finale for Season 2. Also, even if AJ loses, she still gets to exercise her rematch clause at Hell In A Cell. Probably the best rivarly you can build is between AJ and Natalya. Then they continue to extend the storyline fitting Kaitlyn into the picture (where she must pick an alliance), leading to a Survivor Series match between the Total Divas and AJ's faction.

 

[torres]

On another note, the divas division is intriguing at the moment because the heel/face lines have not been clearly established. The Total Divas faction has plenty of people rooting for them because they love the show, but AJ Lee has plenty of wrestling fans rooting for her as well. Last night was a prime example of the lines being blurred. Commentators have been siding with the total divas the whole time, but AJ is speaking "truth", making it really difficult on the commentators to disagree with AJ and transition the storyline. It has lead to really awkward segments each time AJ is in the booth with them.

While Brie Bella is a natural heel, Natalya and Naomi are supposed to be faces. However, all three ganging up and bullying on AJ is a complete heel tactic, while AJ being pulled out of the ring by her "friends" was a face tactic. What AJ has been calling out the total divas on is the same thing any face would have done. It's almost as if the WWE originally intended AJ the heel in this storyline, but that idea fell flat on their faces and now it's been a scramble to get a flow.

Put it this way, if it was Kaitlyn instead of AJ in this storyline, it would be clearly established that Kaitlyn is the clear face, and the total divas are the heels. However, because AJ has treaded the line of face and heel for so long, it's almost as if AJ finally took it upon herself to become a babyface with how she delivered her "pipe bomb" and the fans are not letting themselves be manipulated by how the WWE wants to present the story.

I think the WWE completely underestimated how much of a pop AJ would get if she went head to head against the entire Total Divas cast. Who knows, maybe the WWE intended for the disarray among the divas division all along?

 

[Carlito_Orton]

Although I do think 1 of the total divas will win the championship off of Aj at some point I just don't think it's going to happen in this fatal 4 way.

I go into more detail as to why I think Aj will retain in my prediction/simultion vid I just put up

[El Rev sXe]

I agree with most of the posters here, as Dagger said the fucking division NEEDS AJ as champion, absolutely no other diva can bring prestige and interest to the division as AJ can. I can see Natalya about to win and something like AJ pulling her off the ring and pinning and retaining. Either way it could be the start of another great storyline in the women division.

AJ needs and should retain here.

 

[MCMG]

AJ retains because she still has momentum and is looking like a strong champion. Her promos, commentary and work in the ring have been refreshingly good. She will drop the belt to a "bigger" star because that is what will help Total Divas. I still think that Brie Bella will be Divas Champion whilst Bryan is chasing and then when he wins because it will cater for those who watch E.

There is some strong talent in this fatal-4-way and it should be a good match with AJ winning.

 

[SkyCommanderWinky]

What's so great about AJ.? Typical boring "small person" Spike Dudley move-set with a gimmick stolen from Mickie James. Natalya, Layla, Aksana, Alicia Fox, Naomi, Kaitlyn, Summer Rae, Emma, and even Paige are way better in the ring.

And if popularity is your excuse. Natalya was trending after this match not AJ.

I got a good feeling that it will be Natalya vs AJ at the next PPV for the Women's title.

 

[SkyCommanderWinky]

AJ: http://www.wwe.com/videos/aj-lee-ta...hampions-wwecom-exclusive-sept-15-20-26148651

Wow she's so awesome on the mic that she had to beat that "too old for Lawler" dead horse again. What does that have to do with anything?

It's just sad to me to see so many great talents held down because small mindedness. The Diva's Division is the best it has ever been and people act like AJ is the only attraction. I think the next person to say AJ is carrying the division should get a Lithuanian Clutch from Aksana.

 

[The Eighties]

Thank Zod AJ won, it was a shame that Natalya took the loss though, it should have been the useless Bella. I thought they kept the pacing tight and the match was solid enough other than Naomi's botches, she's a great athlete but her timing is poor.
