There's a popular phrase in English language that goes like this: "Getting a taste of your own medicine", which essentially means that a person is on the receiving end of an unpleasant experience that they had previously given to someone. Instances happen every day in the real world, where this particular phrase fits perfectly.

With decades of rich history behind it, it shouldn't be a surprise that this phrase has become a reality on multiple occasions in the storied history of Professional Wrestling. With writers having free reign to let out their imagination and go crazy with storylines, many have attempted to write angles where a Superstar got a taste of their own medicine. In the following list, we will take a look at five such instances.

At WrestleMania 30, AJ Lee managed to retain her Divas title belt and win a 14-Woman match.

The night after WrestleMania 30, AJ Lee boasted about surviving the multi-women match and leaving victorious. To a thunderous ovation, Paige made her main roster debut and congratulated Lee on her victory. The obnoxious Champion wasn't thrilled one bit and proceeded to slap Paige, after she declined Lee's offer for a title match by stating that she isn't ready. A match kicked off immediately, and ended in a shocker as Paige won the Divas title in her debut!

Around two months later, AJ Lee returned and managed to convince a reluctant Paige to give her a title match. The bout resulted in Lee defeating Paige to win the title back, to a sea of cheers. The roles were reversed to a 'T' that night, as can be seen in the videos below.
