The following week, Maryse lost a championship match against Kelly by disqualification, meaning the championship did not change hands, and won a rematch by pinfall two weeks later on June 8.[36] [37] At Night of Champions on July 26, Maryse lost the Divas Championship to James.[38] Despite being only the second Divas champion, her reign of 216 days remained the longest in the title's history for nearly five years, until AJ Lee surpassed her reign in January 2014.[39]
