Before the Diva's revolution, the Four Horsewomen of Wrestling or any real movement to put women's wrestling at the top of the card, AJ Lee took over the division.

Following a tumultuous run in WWE, Lee alleges in her new book, 'Crazy is My Superpower: How I Triumphed by Breaking Bones, Breaking Hearts and Breaking the Rules," a WWE executive told her she was "unf***able and ugly."
The eventual wife of CM Punk, quickly rose to WWE fame during her romantic storyline with Daniel Bryan. Following her run as the girlfriend of Bryan, and his eventual loss at WrestleMania, Lee became a permanent fixture in the rivalry involving Punk, Kane, John Cena and Bryan:
She developed a true personality, rapidly shifting moods and causing all kinds of chaos on her way to the Raw General Manager role.
Lee bounced around after the general manager gig, managing Dolph Ziggler before going back off on her own in the women's division.
She would eventually become the longest-reigning Diva's champion in the organization's history.
Easily her biggest accomplishment had to come at the end of her WWE run in response to Stephanie McMahon on Twitter:

@StephMcMahon And yet they receive a fraction of the wages & screen time of the majority of the male roster. #UseYourVoice

Lee would retire just a few months later following her WrestleMania 31 appearance.
Lee's book is expected to be published in April.
