If WWE took AJ teamed him with Flair as him mentor and let him fued with Ziggler and other guys they might be able to put on some pretty god matches.

Either that or team him with Aces and Eights, maybe interfer with Brooke/Bully wedding but other then that whats left for AJ to do, pretty much nothing.

You're talking about Low Ki who became Kaval in WWE. Can't stand that name; always makes me think of Mortal Kombat.

As for going to WWE, there are pros and cons. Pros: more money, different opponents. Exposure, but not necessarily fame (at least among those who only watch one promotion). The only worthy motivation to go to WWE as it is now would be money and just to branch out/try something new, imo. I can definitely see why people would say that since he's done it all in TNA he should move on to a new place with new opponents, but the idea of changing his moveset, which I'm sure they would make him do even though that's what he is famous for, is preposterous to me, even if it is to learn their "style". Given that WWE's style is rather formulaic at times, that's not an upgrade. It's a downgrade with more money, because lasting fame on a larger scale isn't guaranteed in the long-run if you're gone from the company and the only people who remember you are the ones who knew you before you went. I don't know if strictly WWE fans ever go, "Where's Kaval?" or bother to look him up. Maybe they do; I don't know.

Other things factor in, of course: dissatisfaction with a company, etc., so I could see it either way, but honestly, I don't think I'd want to watch AJ there. Not if his style changed and they gave him a stupid gimmick. Given how people criticize his mic skills in TNA, I hate to wonder what would happen in WWE. Maybe they'd pair him with their AJ and they can be "AJ & AJ" and skip down to the ring together. Maybe he would be a talented guy who couldn't get over there, especially if he couldn't be AJ in the ring. In TNA, he's over by default, and people love that he's an original.

In any case, that's just me thinking sideways. He's more than earned his break, and I'm sure he's coming back to TNA, but I hope they don't give him another stupid storyline. The man has had enough.

It is so simple what they are doing! He will be gone for a while. Heal up some nagging injuries. Become the guy who ends Ace's and Eights! Wins the BFG series! Wins the title and retires!

[ramblinroy682]

I still think it's a possibility that he is the man to revealed as the leader of the Aces and Eights. Unlikely, but possible. Another option is to go the Sting route and have him ultimately be the guy to save TNA from the An8's.

In the end, I think this will result in him gaining back the World Title at Some Point. You can't deny the dude is talented in the ring and is synonomous with the name TNA. I'm in no way saying he is as talented as him, but he is to TNA what Shawn Michaels was to the WWE. Michaels never left the company, was the best in ring performer they had most of the time during his career, and could fill any spot on the roster from opening match to main eventing. AJ delivers for TNA.

I think he deserves one more long reign as TNA Champ. A good feud with a guy like Aries or Roode. Then he can kind of coast as a main event caliber performer who doesn't need the belt to get over.

Two issues:

First...

Yeah him and Aries worked an amazing program together.

Wait, what? You mean AJ and Aries didn't work a program together at all? And haven't even had so much as a single match since Aries returned to the company??

After AJ returns, this feud is just begging to happen. Aries has the personality and mic work to guide AJ through really selling the promos and out-of-ring storytelling, and the matches would be potential match of the year candidates every time they were given enough time to work.

I'd love to see AJ win the BFG series with Aries as champion. Now that would be a Bound For Glory main event. But even having both of them in the BFG series this year(assuming its brought back) would be good enough for me, because it would insure we would atleast see a match between the two.

And secondly...

If WWE took AJ teamed him with Flair as him mentor and let him fued with Ziggler and other guys they might be able to put on some pretty god matches

AJ with Flair as his mentor, huh?

I've seen that movie. It didn't end so well.

As for a Ziggler/AJ match, I suppose it would be fun to watch as a one-off simply to see them try to one up each other for best looking dropkick. Beyond that, I'm not sure where the interest is.

If AJ did ever go to the WWE(don't hold your breath) a feud with Cena, considering both have been the posterboys for the two major national companies over the last decade, or Punk/Bryan, two guys with which he has some history going back to ROH and macthes up well with physically, would be much more viable choices than one with Ziggler would be from an interest and match quality perspective.

[Lowdown]

I mentioned in the Taz thread about AJ possibly being the centerpiece of A&8's while that could be possible, I'm reminded of how Sting left WCW during the rise of NWO and how he came back darker and edgier. I could see AJ doing that to a degree, especially if the A&8's main star has a long history with AJ like Daniels (doubtful) or Angle perhaps. It's a shot in the dark from me I know, but AJ could become Austin-esque in his attitude upon returning. The time off could be a world of good for all sides if they nurture the story right.

This. I want this on my screen right now. And AJ's butt, but that's an entirely different matter. That's a hugely entertaining feud just waiting to happen -- that needs to happen. I think he needs some man-based drama rather than them trying to put him in a controversial position a la the Claire/Dixie/Karen sagas again. Too bad he couldn't have gone out on this break in a better way, but if he comes back as the leader of Aces & 8s, I don't really know how to feel about that. "Ambivalent" is what comes to mind at the moment. At the same time it would kind of make sense. Kind of.

Being that he walked out the way he did and sorta seemed like a heel, I'd like to
see him join Aces & Eights and he would then be able to get a title shot just like d'von did.
