Former WWE writer Kevin Erck recently posted a new blog where he talked about an idea he originally pitched for the Daniel Bryan/AJ Lee storyline. His original idea was for Daniel Bryan, AJ Lee and John Morrison to be a trio. Obviously Daniel Bryan and AJ ended up getting together but since Morrison was on his way out the company at the time he was never brought into the fold.
It’s a pretty interesting read and you can check out the full blog by clicking HERE. You can also read an excerpt below:
“My idea was for Bryan and AJ to be attracted to each other, but they’re both too shy and socially awkward to make the first move. John Morrison happens to see one of Bryan’s failed attempts to ask out AJ, so he offers to help Bryan.
That leads to a series of vignettes of Morrison the cool ladies’ man trying to “coach up” Bryan in the art of seduction. Eventually, Bryan and AJ get together and become the modern-day Spike Dudley and Molly Holly.
Bryan and Morrison form a friendship and a tag team, with AJ accompanying them to ringside for their matches. AJ views Morrison as a big brother, but Bryan begins to misconstrue the relationship between his best pal and his girlfriend and gradually becomes more and more jealous and insecure.”
