* When AJ was forced to resign as the General Manager of ''Raw''. She starts by saying that the allegations made against her (that she was fraternizing with Wrestling/JohnCena) are completely untrue, but she feels she has to resign because it's either that or getting sacked in disgrace. Then she gives a speech about how she grew up homeless and thought she'd never amount to anything, and thanks the fans and [[Wrestling/VinceMcMahon Vince]] for giving her that chance... and then [[Wrestling/VickieGuerrero Vickie]] gets brought out to gloat.
* Her match against Wrestling/{{Kaitlyn}} on the January 8, 2014 episode of ''Main Event'' becomes this once you're aware of [[RealitySubtext AJ and Kaitlyn's real-life friendship and the fact that it was Kaitlyn's last match before she was released from WWE]]. The character of AJ Lee was probably glad to see her former friend-turned-rival gone for good[[note]]and even that's debatable, as they had been working together again in recent months against the Total Divas and Kaitlyn's exodus was never mentioned on-screen during the match[[/note]], but the real AJ Lee was probably heart-broken that she wouldn't get to have her best friend working with her anymore.
** Made even worse after AJ wins. She jumps into Kaitlyn's arms and give her a hug like she used to when they were the Wrestling/ChickBusters. There's a moment where the mask slips and you can see [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-ChWDNv6HI&feature=youtu.be&t=9m9s poor AJ sharing a real, emotional moment with Kaitlyn]] in the last time they will be on WWE together.
** Adding extra punch to render this even HarsherInHindsight, AJ's real-life boyfriend Wrestling/CMPunk would also be quitting WWE soon after (at the end of the month specifically), making it a real one-two punch for AJ.
* The night ''right after'' AJ successfully defended the title against ''the entire Divas division'' at ''Wrestling/{{Wrestlemania}} XXX'', she lost it ([[HoistByHisOwnPetard through her own doing]]) in an unplanned title match on RAW, and probably what's left of her mind along with it. Note that since she lost, [[FridgeHorror we hadn't heard a thing from her]] until she came back three months later.
