AJ Lee was in the wrong era of WWE Women’s wrestling, single handily rescuing the division from irrelevancy, Lee would hold the Diva’s title for over a year straight, breathing a new life into the division. However, there were some hiccups along the way, in particular The Bella Twins, Natalya and other stars of the era. AJ Lee would end up cutting a pipebomb promo of her own, telling the rest of the division that they were not fit to lace her chuck taylors.
While speaking with Renee Paquette on The Sessions, AJ Lee stated that her favorite promo was the infamous Pipe Bombshell. She then explained how Vince McMahon helped her write the promo.
“The Pipe Bombshell, I loved that one. I remember like I got bullet points from Vince, like, that was our thing. He’d give me bullet points and then just trust me. And I remember, I came to the back and he gave me a kiss on the cheek and he said, ‘Great job.’ And then he said don’t pace as much in the beginning, like, be a little more steady on your feet. But I remember we had that kind of relationship where he was very proud of promo stuff, so I was like, ‘Oh, I did a good promo.’ And I had no idea about everything that would happen after; it’d cause 6 months of pay-per-view title matches.”
