The wwe women’s division was really weak and diminished back in the early 2010’s
The division was no where even close to where it’s at in current day
Wwe had a few somewhat popular female superstars during that time such as Kelly Kelly and a
few others, but no real stand out talent
That all changed with the introduction of this new wwe superstar, hailing from New Jersey,
which was AJ Lee
AJ lee was signed to a developmental deal with wwe during her early 20s
She wrestled for FCW, which was the equivalent of current day NXT back then
She dominated the roster and then came onto television as part of NXT’s first few seasons
AJ didn’t win the tournament but wwe still held onto her and would debut her onto the
main roster a few short years later
AJ quickly took the wwe by storm and within her first year on the main roster, she had
become a main event attraction
AJ was the first women in years to be involved with so many deep storylines and even effected
the outcome of multiple wwe championship matches
So it’s safe to say AJ was the biggest female superstar during that era
AJ was paired with everyone for a short while from Daniel Bryan, to CM punk, to Kane, to
John Cena, to Dolph Ziggler, and many more
But one person that was also set to be on this list was Jon Moxley, formerly known as
Dean Ambrose in wwe
So AJ and Moxley, how and when was that supposed to happen?
Let’s take a look back at the timeline and fit it in
One of AJ’s first huge career moments was the wedding with Daniel Bryan at raw 1000
in 2012
AJ lee left Daniel on the alter because she accepted the job to be the raw g.m.
Now AJ’s run as GM was extremely short lived and cut short after she was being exposed
for having a so called “affair” with John Cena
In reality, this lead to AJ’s heel turn and aligning herself with Dolph Ziggler
But here’s where the alternative story line would’ve came into play
According to a former wwe writer who was with wwe creative at the time, an early concept
had AJ Lee and Jon Moxley being paired up as
WWE’s next top TV couple
The story would’ve followed AJ Lee as she was being forced out of wwe for her insanity
and overall craziness
Wwe would’ve forced her to take a hiatus and enter herself into a clinic to get what
they felt like was some much needed help
AJ would then be kept off television for a while but would eventually return and return
in a huge way
While at the clinic, AJ would’ve met another patient who was also there for the same reason
as her and they would become really close
This patient was Jon Moxley
It would have eventually lead to AJ returning to get revenge on wwe for sending her away
and this time bringing some reinforcement with newly found boyfriend, Jon Moxley
The pairing of AJ Lee and Jon Moxley might seem like a horrific idea, but that’s exactly
what it was meant to be
AJ’s already had the entire unstable and crazy gimmick perfectly going for her at that
time
And Jon Moxley was always known for that same thing and the fact that he was coming from
the same clinic would’ve given us even more information on just how unstable he was as
well
Leading to be a perfect yet terrifying couple for the locker room to deal with
This pairing would’ve been WWE’s closest representation of The Joker and Harley Quinn
With Moxley being insane and his girlfriend, AJ Lee, being the exact same as he was, it
was going to be absolute chaos for the wwe superstars to deal with
And that’s all that was said about this cancelled story line, AJ and Moxley would’ve
just been destroying the roster and winning championships, all while falling deeper in
love
Unfortunately as interesting as all that sounds, it of course never ended up happening
Moxley was thrown into the shield as “Dean Ambrose” and debuted alongside Roman Reigns
and Seth Rollins
Wwe would however still end up using the entire “unstable” gimmick for Ambrose once he
broke away from the shield and went solo
So the version of that unstable Dean Ambrose was going to be the same character that AJ
was going to originally bring over from the clinic
While AJ on the other hand ended up being paired with Dolph Ziggler
Even though it wasn’t Moxley, AJ and Dolph still turned out to be an amazing power couple
on television and had a lot success
Dolph and AJ had some much astonishing chemistry on screen that many fans really believed they
were a real life couple
So AJ lee and Jon Moxley never ended up crossing paths in the wwe
However, AJ used to happily tweet and get excited all the time when the shield were
on screen, but that’s about all the interaction we ever got between the both of them
AJ and Jon Moxley did end up both having great wwe careers and accomplished many things in
the company
But it’s still unfortunate we never got to see this pairing because it really would’ve
been interesting to see how that relationship and the story unfolded
But what are your thoughts on this cancelled storyline between AJ Lee and Jon Moxley?
Would you have been interested to see how this story would’ve played out on tv or
are you happy that wwe scrapped this story?
