AJ Lee Vs. Nikki Bella (2014)
If the aforementioned match showed how little WWE cared about the Divas division, the company proved they could sink even lower the following year. The Bella Twins were involved in a controversial storyline that saw Nikki Bella turn on her sister at SummerSlam.
Nikki and Brie said horrible things about one another for months leading up to a match between them at Hell in a Cell. Brie lost and, according to the pre-match stipulation, was forced to manage her sister for a month.
Nikki became the number one contender for AJ Lee’s Divas Championship at Survivor Series. In what was Brie’s last major match as Nikki’s assistant, she shockingly planted a kiss on AJ – in a callback to WrestleMania 28 – and Nikki became the new champion in less than a minute.
The Bella Twins got back together from that point on, like nothing had ever happened. None of this made sense within the story being told, and it remains one of WWE’s most embarrassing storylines in recent memory.
