** Psycho!AJ was also extremely similar to Psycho!Mickie James from circa 2005. They both were obsessively dedicated to their love interests, both got rejected, and both retaliated erratically - Mickie took the Women's Title from [[TrishStratus Trish]] at WrestleMania, while AJ enacted a convoluted marriage plot to get her revenge on DanielBryan for dumping her, stringing him along, along with the current WWE Champion at the time, Wrestling/CMPunk, and one Daniel's main rivals (and future tag team partner), Wrestling/Kane, for ''months''. The only real difference is how they reacted and the lesbian overtones of Mickie's storyline.

* OlderThanTheyLook: AJ's 24, but owing in no small part due to her petite frame and [[PetitePride ...comparative lack of womanly attributes]], she tends to look more often than not like a teenager on screen (when she debuted on NXT, her pro Primo first thought she was 16), especially lined up with most of the males. Hell, even Daniel Bryan absolutely dwarfs her, and he's on the small side of the wrestler spectrum. One has to believe that WWE was playing off this a bit. It's worth mentioning that [[Wrestling/BryanDanielson Daniel Bryan's]] BeardOfEvil keeps getting longer and wilder, which started during their relationship yet continues even now, making his and AJ's relationship resemble [[PrecociousCrush a lovestruck schoolgirl that's fallen head over heels for a full-grown lumberjack.]]

She has become justly famous among wrestling buffs for the defying the usual stereotypes of how WWE's Divas are supposed to behave. Throughout most of 2012, while still a face, AJ portrayed a (genuinely?) mentally unstable character - the likes of which had not been seen in WWE since MickieJames in 2006. She also has served as General Manager of ''Monday Night Raw'' - and while other females have filled that position over the years, none have been as cute as AJ.

* FridgeBrilliance: AJ's pet name for Dolph Ziggler is "Zigglypuff". Jigglypuff is a Pokemon that puts people and other Pokemon to sleep...and Dolph uses the sleeperhold.



* KickedUpstairs: AJ becoming the GM of RAW could be seen as this - especially since she was probably one of the better female wrestlers on the roster. That said, though, the entire Divas' division has been DemotedToExtra lately, so it may have been the best way to keep AJ in the limelight. She was then kicked downstairs again after her "affair" with JohnCena was "revealed" by Vickie Guerrero and she's competing as a regular Diva again.

Also when Kane decided that she was ''too crazy for him'' and told her they wouldn't work out.

In her short time with WWE, she's been involved in romance arcs or ShipTease situations with Primo, CodyRhodes, DanielBryan, CMPunk, Wrestling/CodyRhodes, [[Wrestling/BryanDanielson Daniel Bryan]], Wrestling/CMPunk, Wrestling/{{Kane}} (these last three all ''simultaneously'' at one point), JohnCena Wrestling/JohnCena ''and'' DolphZiggler.Wrestling/DolphZiggler.



* ShipTease: AJ and her pro Primo and with Daniel Bryan, that later turned into a relationship that went sour later on. Kaitlyn also with Johnny Curtis. Both of them with CodyRhodes during a kissing contest. Then there's the Punk/Bryan/Kane feud for the WWE Championship, where AJ was teased with all three of them, but most strongly with Punk(who didn't seem particularly interested) and Kane(where it was implied that AJ was manipulating him). Out of the three, only Kane overtly returned her affection, but that ship, while popular, creeped enough of the fan base out (Kane is a clean twenty years older than AJ) that Kane was pulled, more or less dumping AJ after deciding that [[EveryoneHasStandards she was too crazy for him.]] AJ would later have a ship tease with none other than JohnCena. She's now all over DolphZiggler. And Big E Langston's previous relationship with and loyalty to AJ (read: he attacks on her often wordless command) really makes you wonder.

* SickeninglySweethearts: With [[spoiler:DolphZiggler]]. For instance, during the Christmas episode of Raw, their idea of flirting is how they cost [[spoiler:JohnCena]] his match in a Money In The Bank match.

* * AllGirlsWantBadBoys: To heel Wrestling/DoplhZiggler and Wrestling/Primo.
** Dear Lord, the whole AJ[=/=]Punk/Bryan/Kane love... thing.
She was involved in a [[LoveDodecahedron love trapezoid]] started out with [[AntiHero CM Punk]], [[{{Jerkass}} Daniel Bryan]], Bryan who was a face in the beginning of their relationship, then he turned heel, [[KickTheDog dumped her]] right after his WrestleMania loss, and [[AxCrazy Kane]], showing this trope even after that [[MadLove she still wanted him.]] Somewhere along the line she lost her damn mind and turned her attention to both CMPunk, and Wrestling/{{Kane}}. Kane turned her down, cause he though she was crazier then he was, as well as Punk, who only ended up in the middle of it all its various degrees.when he said he [[NiceJobBreakingItHero digged crazy chicks.]] Daniel Bryan asked her to marry him. Twice, first so he could win the WWE Championship, then seemingly for real after he lost the match. AJ left him at the altar after getting a position as the Raw GM, and only went through with it to get back at Bryan.



* BerserkButton:

to:

* BerserkButton:ArmorPiercingSlap: AJ to Kaitlyn, when the latter told her to get over the fact DanielBryan used her.
* AttentionWhore: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Kv2dcWXfl4&feature=relmfu "I like when men look at me.]] ''Look at me.''"
* BerserkButton: AJ does ''not'' like being ignored. After Punk been on the phone with his sister during AJ's match, she didn't take that well. So when Bryan and Punk didn't pay her any attention during their match when she came skipping, she pulled out a a table and threatened to jump through. That got their attention, and they tried stopping her. Punk climbed the turnbuckle and tried to reason with her. She then proceeded to kiss him and then push him on to the table along with Bryan. Or hearing the word "crazy". No one even has to call her it directly. During Her GM days, and if she merely happened to hear the word in earshot, she'd put the person who said it through some sort of punishment.



* BiTheWay: "Do you not like aggressive women?!...Because I do!"
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Skipping around Kane like a school girl on the playground.[[spoiler: Before leaping into his arms and giving him quite possibly [[TheBigDamnKiss the biggest damn kiss in WWE history.]] ]]

to:

* BlatantLies: At one point, she's told Punk, "I am in full control of my mental faculties at all times." Usually, crazy people don't recognize they're crazy, but...
** TheChessmaster[=/=]MagnificentBastard: If A.J. is indeed telling the truth [[CassandraTruth (perhaps with the full knowledge that no one will believe her)]] then she's firmly in this category.
* BigDamnKiss: Before their match at No Way Out, AJ made the rounds to CMPunk, [[BryanDanielson Daniel Bryan]], and {{Kane}}, wishing each man good luck and giving them a peck on the cheek. Kane held her back, and returned the favor for the BigDamnKiss she had planted on him on the previous Raw, before leaving without a word. She would then some weeks later on Smackdown, give two big damn kisses to Bryan ''and'' Punk. Later gives one to Cena. She would win a Slammy for best Kiss with [[JohnCena the latter]], although, she also placed, second, third and fourth.
* BiTheWay: "Do One way to interpret this quote;
-->'''AJ:''' Do
you not like aggressive women?!...Because women?! Cause I do!"
do!
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Skipping BreakupBreakout: After what appears to be the Wrestling/ChickBusters [[https://twitter.com/KaitlynWWE/status/201728516692246528 break up,]] AJ has been involved in high-profile angles with CMPunk, DanielBryan, and Wrestling/{{Kane}}, was made the General Manager of RAW on the 1000th episode on July 23, 2012 and held her position until October 22, 2012, and is remained relevant with her feud with JohnCena and her involvement with DolphZiggler. Kaitlyn didn't do anything remotely as important for a while, but she then entered a feud over the Divas Championship alongside [[LayCool Layla]] and [[EveTorres Eve,]] which ended in Kaitlyn winning the Divas title at [[MilestoneCelebration Raw's 20th Year Anniversary on]] Janurary 14, 2013.
* BridalCarry: Kane's did this with AJ twice.
* ButtMonkey: Was mostly used to make BethPhoenix and [[NatalyaNeidheart Natalya]] look strong before she became popular.
* CatFight: With Wrestling/VickieGuerrero.
* CanonName: AJ was for a long time only referred to by her first name on WWE TV but fans stilled call her AJ Lee, which she used in FCW. She was then finally referred to as AJ Lee during her wedding to Daniel Bryan. And it stuck in-universe after she became the RAW GM. (Which was [[TwistEnding at the wedding.]])
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: The "Geek Goddess"[=/=]GirlNextDoor parts of her personality have been all but forgotten in favor of her somewhat needy {{Yandere}} tendencies as of late. Unless you follow her on Twitter, in which it's more of Geek than Yandere.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Something Bryan, Punk and Cena can attest to.
* CloudCuckooLander: AJ either this or ObfuscatingInsanity. When she was tagged in by mistake in match and had to face Kane[[hottip:*: She and Punk was in a mixed tag match against Kane and Daniel Bryan, although it was more of of handicap match since Punk couldn't really tag AJ in since she didn't have another Diva to face.]], she proceeded to skip
around Kane like a school girl on the playground.[[spoiler: Before leaping into him, then jump in his arms and giving give him quite possibly [[TheBigDamnKiss one hell of a kiss. This befuddled Kane so much he tagged Bryan in and left the biggest damn kiss in WWE history.]] ]]match entirely!
** A week later, during a tag match between Punk and Sheamus vs Kane and Bryan, she skips down to the ring wearing a ''Kane outfit'', complete with a mask, skips a lap around the ring, and skips back up the stage. Kane is so confused by this he gets down off the apron, abandoning Bryan(who was the legal man at the time) to follow her up the ring, the look on his face simply saying "What the hell was that?"



* CuteAndPsycho
* DemBones: She has them on her ring gear.
* DidTheyOrDidntThey: While the PG rating has prevented them from being explicit about AJ's relationships, it's more or less implied that she has slept with Daniel Bryan, and that she hasn't slept with CM Punk, although he later implied that she slept with him, though how truthful he was being is still up for debate. But with Kane...it was a little more ambiguous. Then there was the question of if she did or didn't with JohnCena, but in a promo after she sided with Ziggler, she pretty much stated that nothing happened between the two.



* IHaveTheHighGround
* LovelyAngels: The Chickbusters with Kaitlyn.
* LoveMakesYouCrazy: Oh dear god.

to:

* IHaveTheHighGround
GlassCannon: Psycho! AJ will beat. Your. Ass. But she just can't take a hit; VickieGuerrero, of all people, was fending off a rather vicious beating from her by kicking her into the apron, though to be fair, it was a fairly hard bump.
* LovelyAngels: The Chickbusters HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: After being dumped by DanielBryan, she had a mental breakdown, and it was hard pin point her status, as it would seem she would switch in the same scene depending on her mood. After ''TLC 2012'' she'd settled on heel.
* HeroicBSOD: Suffered one after DanielBryan told her that he wished she'd never been born. She then had a match against Natalya, who started to question the fact if the match should take place, since AJ just stood there and did nothing. [[BewareOfTheNiceOnes AJ then beat the living hell out of Natalya]], and the ref had to stop the match.
* HollywoodNerd:
* HopeSpot: After AJ's borderline squash against Kaitlyn, Daniel Bryan came out and appeared to be reconsidering. He said he was willing to move on...to Kaitlyn. AJ wasn't pleased.
* HotChickInABadassSuit: During her run as Raw GM.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Whatever the AJ/Kane situation was during the time she couldn't decide whichever man she wanted, Punk, Bryan or Kane. With AJ standing in at 5'3", and one of the shortest divas on the roster. Kane towers over her (and just about everyone else) at a hair under 7'.
* IdenticalStranger: Had a darker hair color a few years ago, and she [[http://twitter.com/WWEAJLee/status/81607527921491968 said]] that people sometimes mistook her for MirandaCosgrove.
* IHaveTheHighGround: Has a high flying moveset.
* KickedUpstairs: AJ becoming the GM of RAW could be seen as this - especially since she was probably one of the better female wrestlers on the roster. That said, though, the entire Divas' division has been DemotedToExtra lately, so it may have been the best way to keep AJ in the limelight. She was then kicked downstairs again after her "affair"
with Kaitlyn.
JohnCena was "revealed" by Vickie Guerrero and she's competing as a regular Diva again.
* LaughingMad: AJ descended into this [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Kv2dcWXfl4&feature=relmfu here]], after nearly being carried off by Kane and then watching Kane lay out both her ex Daniel Bryan and crush/stalking victim CM Punk. Also when Kane decided that she was ''too crazy for him'' and told her they wouldn't work out.
* LovelyAngels
* LoveConfession: AJ told Daniel Bryan she loved him. He said he appreciated it.
** She also gave a much lengthier one of these to CMPunk...[[WhamLine which ended with her asking him to marry her.]]
** LoveMakesYouDumb: AJ towards DanielBryan. She confessed her love to him, he never responded in the same way, other than he appreciate it. He has used her as a mean to hold on to his title. When MichaelCole was interviewing her and started verbally attacking her, he only came out to put a stop to it when his name was brought up.
**
LoveMakesYouCrazy: Oh dear god.god. If she's not the best example in ProfessionalWrestling, she comes damned close to it.



** AJ can't seem to give up on Bryan after their breakup. Then she she set her eyes on CM Punk, as well as Kane, simultaneously at that. [[ReallyGetsAround After that]] Wrestling/JohnCena. [[FaceHeelTurn Now with]] Wrestling/DolphZiggler.



* OneOfUs: Beyond her love of Wrestling, she's an {{Anime}} and VideoGame fan.

to:

* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: This is why AJ turned on Cena and sided with Ziggler, because in her mind, [[JohnCena he'd]] been toying with her.
* OfficialCouple: AJ and Hornswoggle for a while they where part of NXT. AJ and DanielBryan was for a few months on Smackdown, but after his loss at WrestleMania, they broke up. Kaitlyn and Derrick Bateman during season 5 of {{WWENXT}} .
* OlderThanTheyLook: AJ's 24, but owing in no small part due to her petite frame and [[PetitePride ...comparative lack of womanly attributes]], she tends to look more often than not like a teenager on screen (when she debuted on NXT, her pro Primo first thought she was 16), especially lined up with most of the males. Hell, even Daniel Bryan absolutely dwarfs her, and he's on the small side of the wrestler spectrum. One has to believe that WWE's playing off this a bit. It's worth mentioning that [[BryanDanielson Daniel Bryan's]] BeardOfEvil keeps getting longer and wilder, making his and AJ's relationship resemble [[PrecociousCrush a lovestruck schoolgirl that's fallen head over heels for a full-grown lumberjack.]]
* OneOfUs: Beyond her love of Wrestling, Apart from initially being billed as a [[NerdsAreSexy "Geek Goddess"]] that loved video games and comic books when she was on NXT, she's an {{Anime}} established her nerd cred by once dressing up as [[MortalKombat Kitana]] for a Diva's Halloween Battle Royale and VideoGame fan.attempted an Upraise (Kitana's hold in place move...it didn't work). Not only that, but the WWE Superstars have a video game tournament before every Wrestlemania competing in the latest iteration of the company's video game series. ''AJ won the most recent one.''
** You should check out her twitter. It's full of witty gems such as these:
-->''On an unrelated note, I am deliriously tired and have spent my morning googling animal pictures.''
-->''Every time I eat chips whilst standing in between an open fridge door, my dog looks at me with eyes that scream "This is why you're single."''
* PassiveRescue: After a match where CMPunk faced DanielBryan, AJ 'accompanied' Punk to ringside. ('Accompanied' meaning 'stalked' in this case.) As much as it cloyed Punk to have her out there (and her distraction unintentionally cost Punk the match, to boot), he was probably thankful for it when {{Kane}} showed up on a rampage. [[hottip:The Context:Kane had unwittingly ended up in the middle of Punk and Bryan's feud, and each had attempted - successfully to manipulate Kane into doing the other's dirty work.]] Kane was carrying a steel chair and quickly broke it in on DanielBryan's back before chokeslamming him on top of said chair. He went to turn his attention to Punk, but AJ had already slipped Punk a chair of his own while Kane's back was turned, enabling Punk to beat back Kane and ''not'' get chokeslammed.
** And again at No Way Out, where during the [[MeleeATrois triple threat]] title match, she runs down to the ring and leaps on the apron just in time for Kane to slam into her after Punk whipped him to the ropes. Kane's concern for her opened a momentary distraction, allowing Punk to hit the Go To Sleep for the win. When Kane cradled her and took her to the back for medical attention, she cast a grin over his shoulder down at Punk, though it's unclear whether or not Punk was even aware of her actions.



* [[PromotedFanboy Promoted Fangirl]]: A major point to her character, she's a gigantic fan of ProfessionalWrestling that finally got her chance to wrestle.

to:

* PokeThePoodle: Rosa Mendes and Tamina mocked AJ by giving her a box of cheese, calling her a "mousy loser".
* PopularityPower: Is AJ a face or a heel at the moment? To be honest, she probably falls somewhere outside of the classical spectrum. But she does such an excellent job playing her role that the audience seems to love her even more for it.
* [[PromotedFanboy Promoted Fangirl]]: A major point to Fangirl]]:There's even [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkR1bzsMho8 video footage]] of her character, she's a gigantic fan waiting in line for tickets to ''[=WrestleMania XX=]'' and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GV8SFf7XRk]] of ProfessionalWrestling her meeting {{Lita}}. Taken [[UpToEleven even further]] when she became the new Raw GM. Something she stated when she was removed from power that finally got her chance to wrestle.this was the only thing in life she wanted in life.



* ReallyGetsAround: Been with Primo, Hornswoggle, DanielBryan, CMPunk, Wrestling/[[Kane}}, JohnCena, and now DolphZiggler. Then there is the question what her relation is/was to Big E Langston.

to:

* PsychoticSmirk: AJ has the most innocent, adorable psycho smirk you have ever seen in your life.
* PuppyDogEyes: AJ. Seeing her sad is just absolutely painful. AJ's puppydog eyes have even stopped Kane in his tracks.
* ReallyGetsAround: Been AJ's kayfabe history is starting to make her look like the WWE's resident bicycle. In her short time with WWE, she's been involved in romance arcs or ShipTease situations with Primo, Hornswoggle, CodyRhodes, DanielBryan, CMPunk, Wrestling/[[Kane}}, JohnCena, and now DolphZiggler. Then there is Wrestling/{{Kane}} (these last three all ''simultaneously'' at one point), JohnCena ''and'' DolphZiggler.
* RefugeInAudacity: Holy crap,
the question what her relation is/was to Big E Langston.Wrestling/{{Kane}} kissing incident was ''definitely'' this.
* SanitySlippage: AJ's sanity becomes a more distant memory with each passing week.



* SheCleansUpNicely: AJ might claim to not look like a supermodel but she looks damn fine whenever she puts on a dress. Kaitlyn to a much more limited extent (she was presented as a clumsy ditz for the most part compared to the sex appeal or general attractiveness of the rest of the NXT divas). Both of them really regardless of dress.
* ShipTease: AJ and her pro Primo and with Daniel Bryan, that later turned into a relationship that went sour later on. Kaitlyn also with Johnny Curtis. Both of them with CodyRhodes during a kissing contest. Then there's the Punk/Bryan/Kane feud for the WWE Championship, where AJ was teased with all three of them, but most strongly with Punk(who didn't seem particularly interested) and Kane(where it was implied that AJ was manipulating him). Out of the three, only Kane overtly returned her affection, but that ship, while popular, creeped enough of the fan base out (Kane is a clean twenty years older than AJ) that Kane was pulled, more or less dumping AJ after deciding that [[EveryoneHasStandards she was too crazy for him.]] AJ would later have a ship tease with none other than JohnCena. She's now all over DolphZiggler. And Big E Langston's previous relationship with and loyalty to AJ (read: he attacks on her often wordless command) really makes you wonder.



* StalkerWithACrush: To CM Punk and Kane. She was this to Daniel Bryan for a while.
* TheBusCameBack: Debuted on Smackdown with Kaitlyn a few months after being eliminated from NXT season 3.

to:

* StalkerWithACrush: To CM Punk and Kane.SkipOfInnocence: Only without the innocence.
* SoundtrackDissonance: "Let's Light It Up" (A bouncy pop tune) at one point fit perfectly as her entrance theme, but her [[LoveMakesYouCrazy recent character development]] has made it become this.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: Her involvement in the Punk/Bryan feud has been given a bigger presence than the WWE championship. Hey, remember which of these two won NXT?
* StalkerWithACrush. Towards CMPunk. It didn't helped that he stated that he sorta digs crazy chicks. And towards Kane of all people, but that didn't last long.
She was this to Daniel Bryan for a while.
* TakeThat: To wannabe bitchy heels Rosa and Tamina - "LayCool called, they [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall want their gimmick back]]"
* TheBusCameBack: Debuted Disappeared after NXT was over but resurfaced in May of 2011 as Natalya's new prodigee.
* TheDogBitesBack: Twice in an NXT challenge AJ got picked
on Smackdown with by Maxine and Kaitlyn and snapped at both of them.
** {{Foreshadowing}} maybe? After repeatedly getting rejected and [[KickTheDog kicked]] by DanielBryan over and over...and ''over'', she finally seems to have snapped. Then, cue
a few couple months later, were she leaves him at the alter.
** BrickJoke: The first AJ snaps on was Natalya.
* ThrowTheDogABone: Thank the lord AJ and Kaitlyn got wins against Maxine and Tamina on NXT to keep them from jobber hell.
* TonightInThisVeryRing: She naturally started cutting these types of promos when she became General Manager of RAW
* WhamLine: The 7-9-12 [[WWERaw RAW]] opened with a segment that looked like A.J. being her usual crazy self and CMPunk just taking it all in stride. Then A.J. drops ''this bombshell:''
--> '''A.J.''': [[CMPunk Punk]]...will you marry me? (He didn't.)
** On the 1000th episode of Raw VinceMcmahon has likely found someone even crazier than he is, and appointed her GM. Whether this will be a good thing or a bad thing will large depend on whether your name's DanielBryan. Or if your name's CMPunk and you just picked a really bad time to turn heel.
* WildCard: Dear lord. One had to wonder which side she was on in the Punk[=/=]Kane[=/=]Bryan saga. Was she on Punk's side? Or Kane's? Or was she trying to make the both of them destroy each other? Then
after Kane wisely withdrew himself from the fray, she moved on to destroy both Bryan and Punk for offending her -- Bryan by suggesting a shrink for her, Punk by talking to his sister on the phone, instead of, being eliminated aware and watching her match that night.
* WomanScorned: To DanielBryan. Notably, during this whole LoveTriangle arc, she's been ambiguous at worst toward Punk and Kane, but always against Bryan. During her wedding, she left him standing at the alter and mocked him, implying the whole thing was just to get back at him.
** She turned on Cena at ''TLC 2012'' and helped Ziggler win an retain his [=MitB=] briefcase, with the explanation that he played with her and broke her heart.
* {{Yandere}}: AJ had shades of it after Daniel Bryan dumped her and has now slid into it full-tilt as it being the central aspect of her character.
* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: After being forced to step down as GM of RAW, she found herself as an in-ring competitor again, facing off against BethPhoenix, whom she manages to beat with a roll-up. Just as she starts to celebrate her first in-ring victory in God knows how long, VickieGuerrero shows up and orders the ref to restart the match - at which point BethPhoenix hits AJ
from NXT season 3.behind and plants her with the Glam Slam for the pinfall victory.
** The name of the trope was spoken by AJ [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=he5GgMAAXxE herself, on a different occasion]]
** And [[https://twitter.com/WWEAJLee/status/100234939047485440 here's the trope]] on one of her twitter statuses.

Added DiffLines:

April Jeanette Mendez (born March 19, 1987) is an American professional wrestler. She is signed to WWE, where she goes by the ring name [=AJ=] Lee. She served as the General Manager of Raw from 23 July 2012 to 22 October 2012, where she resigned. Mendez enrolled in a wrestling school in March 2007, where she trained for six months before her first official match. In the following years, she performed for several Northeast-based independent promotions including Women Superstars Uncensored (WSU) as Miss April. In WSU, she was part of the AC Express alongside Brooke Carter and the duo held the WSU Tag Team Championship once.
In May 2009, she signed a developmental contract with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), and was assigned to Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW), WWE's developmental promotion, using the ring name [=AJ=] Lee. In FCW, she was Queen of FCW and FCW Divas Champion, and was the first person to have held both titles. In 2010, she was part of the third season of NXT, having dropped her last name. She became part of WWE's SmackDown brand in May 2011, forming a tag team with Kaitlyn known as The ChickBusters.
A self-professed nerd and tomboy. WWE adapted Mendez's comics and video game fandom to her on-screen character, endorsing her as different from the typical women in the WWE and promoting her as the "Geek Goddess". In 2012, she was named the "Diva of the Year" as part of that year's Slammy Awards.
