Divas Champion AJ Lee def. Kaitlyn
PHILADELPHIA – For months, Divas Champion AJ Lee has gotten under the skin and into the head of her former best friend — and former champion — Kaitlyn. Then, at WWE Payback, AJ put the bow on her devious master plan, culminating months of torture with Divas Title gold. At Money in the Bank Sunday night, the mini-manipulator did it again, dropping Kaitlyn in an exciting and hard-fought rematch for the illustrious title that was now in AJ’s possession.
Dueling Divas photos | A fractured friendship
In a match that was as much about playing and overcoming head games as it was about toughing out physical ailments, the two Divas put on a show in Philly, and once again proved that, even in the City of Brotherly Love, theirs is a fractured friendship.
Accompanied by Layla and wearing a sleeve over her injured left elbow, Kaitlyn may not have entered Money in the Bank at 100 percent physically, but she was most certainly in the right mindset from the opening bell. Unfortunately for the Hybrid Diva, her straight-ahead, run-through-opponents approach got her into trouble as AJ wisely focused on that weakened elbow.
The bigger, stronger challenger looked to turn things around, however, planting AJ with a ring-rocking spear and bringing the raucous Money in the Bank crowd to its feet in anticipation of a possible title change. Kaitlyn was unable to capitalize, though, instead crumpling to the canvas and grabbing her injured elbow, allowing AJ the time needed to trap her opponent in the devastating Black Widow. Despite a valiant effort, Kaitlyn simply couldn’t withstand the excruciating pain applied to her, as AJ’s hold forced the Hybrid Diva to tap out.
Kaitlyn may have left it all out in the ring at Money in the Bank, but AJ left with the Divas Title still in her hands.
