AJ says that when she looks in that ring, she sees a bunch of cheap, interchangeable, expendable women. Women who have turned to reality television because they aren’t good enough to be actresses. Women who weren’t talented enough to be champions. She has done more in one year than everyone did in their entire careers. She has saved the Divas Division and shattered the glass ceiling.

She did not get here because she was cute, was part of a famous family, or sucked . . . up to the right people. AJ says that she got here because she is good and she earned the title. None of them will be able to lace up her Chuck Taylors.
