So the title match that was supposed to happen Monday got hijacked by the interference of Twin Magic.

I don’t know about all that, but what I do know is that AJ was more over than all but a handful of Divas since the term entered the WWE lexicon more than 15 years ago (the Divas Championship itself has been in existence since 2008).
Record-breaking Divas champion Nikki Bella defends the gold at Night of Champions against the woman who was bred for greatness, Charlotte!
McMahon announced that at Night of Champions, Bella would lose the belt if she is defeated in any fashion. Their in ring improvements since their return to the comapny can largely be attributed to Daniel Bryan and John Cena, whom Brie and Nikki respectively are in relationships with. She powders out a second time and does some push-ups. She’s noticeably limping but manages to get the upper hand on Nikki. Nikki with a shoulder block off the apron and Charlotte lands awkwardly, tweaking her knee. Nikki sends Charlotte down to the floor and had a awkward landing. Nikki continues to work on Charlotte’s knee. Charlotte with a forearm. However the champ dropkicks Charlotte’s knee and regains control.
Nikki isn’t exactly the favorite right now and like perhaps Seth Rollins, the WWE has done a great job drawing in critics and haters for her. But come WWE Night of Champions, all that could change for both WWE pets and hopefully, the rightful champions will be put in place. She catches Nikki charging in, hitting her with a series of chops. Charlotte with a roll up for 2. Charlotte with a clothesline.
By touting her success as champion and continuing to remind fans and opponents that she is the longest-reigning Divas titleholder in history, she will further enrage the audience with every passing minute. Brie and Alicia Fox are by her side, of course, and they’re all looking confident. Nikki with a knee for a two count. Charlotte looks to start a comeback but Nikki takes the leg out again and laughs.
If she gets pinned or submitted, she loses like usual. Charlotte then applied the Figure-Eight and Nikki tapped out.
“My dream has always been to watch you realize yours”, Ric Flair posted on his Twitter account. They’re apparently going out on the town for a party or two. And Charlotte competed in her first high profile singles match since getting called up. It was surprising that they had Nikki control so much of the match. Nikki Bella can no doubt be proud of her accomplishment, and she rightly should be. It was a lot like Paige’s journey to become the first NXT Women’s Champion. Likewise Nikki was put over very well in the match.
