>>13637484AJ didn't work Japan, but she did local productions. But she got hired fast by WWE for development then quickly to the NXT contest. She didn't win the contest, but one section about guessing what wrestlers had which intro music (where she won entrances) revealed that she was a massive fan of the product. From there onwards, Vince would have her lose the NXT event only to show up as an actual diva. The women's section was so meaningless, that he instead made her a general manager and had her in storylines with the main eventers at the time — including CM Punk, Cena and Bryan.
Bryan once remarked that she actually had it 'easy' compared to the guys. She was nº2 at one point in Make-a-wish foundation wishes, losing only to Cena. Her merchandise was always the best-looking and she was the top earner among the women in the company for years. She was far more of a female Cena than a female Punk.
Then she had an injury at a house show, dropped the title to Paige, came back 8 months later, had a back-and-forth with Paige until she retired due to a very almost deadly injury.
She was the best in her time.
