The WWE Divas era is infamous to be the most demeaning phase for the female talents of the company with the butterfly-designed belt representing the division. With beauty and pageant quotients being the standard measure for success at that point, many of the fans didn’t completely like that era, let alone the stars featured in it.
One of the standout names during the ending phase of the WWE Divas era was Kaitlyn, who was imported to the main roster from the NXT bunch. Coming into the mainstay scene alongside the likes of AJ Lee, these two were touted to be perfect wrestlers who could have been recognized for their classy wrestling skills. However, both of their careers in the WWE were cut unexpectedly short.

“I think part of it was I never was super close with a lot of the divas there. Sometimes I got bullied a little bit when I was new and I think it’s because just the way that I came up,” Kaitlyn reflected on her bitter experience in the WWE Divas locker room.
“I came up really fast. I had an amazing opportunity to start without any experience. So I went through a little bit of hazing and bullying from some of the divas.” (quotes courtesy Fightful)
