It's high time the females that have been included in the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) roster since 2013 are introduced to the world, hence the airing of "Total Divas" on E!

As a reality TV series, it has kept wrestling fans happy for giving them a detailed look at the lives of the WWE Divas, including their work and personal lives. While the show has included long-time Divas Brie and Nikki Bella, Cameron, Naomi, Natalya, and Rosa Mendes, newbies Eva Marie, Summer Rae, and JoJo have also joined the list of the main cast members.

These days, however, reigning WWE Divas Champion AJ Lee has taken the spotlight in the show, and has caused trouble for the other Divas as she won her third Divas championship. 

When she takes the ring these days, most of the fans scream out "CM Punk," which is likely to threaten her own career and reputation as a Divas champion.

Her husband CM Punk now faces a legal feud with WWE as the retired professional wrestler left the outfit earlier this year due to disagreements regarding the development of his character. With Punk still being included in the final character lineup for WWE 2K15, his legal representatives are now requesting for royalties.

Consequently, the outfit responded by pulling out all of Punk's merchandise from online WWE stores. All CM Punk signages are also to be banned during matches.

As reported by The Inquisitr, there have also been tensions between his wife Lee and WWE. The wrestling news site pointed out that signs and chants relating to CM Punk during matches "create a tense situation for AJ Lee with her employer. After all, CM Punk walked out on his contract because he basically wanted to book himself."

Taking the championship from Paige and Nikki Bella and enjoying her third reign, Lee has become one of the most widely recognized Divas in the wrestling world. By winning back the Divas championship in a triple threat match at the Night of Champions event, the 27-year-old wrestler is now in her third reign. Her first reign had reportedly set a record of a whopping 295 days.
