Former WWE Writer Says He Wanted Dean Ambrose & AJ Lee To Be WWE’s Bonnie & Clyde

Former WWE creative writer and current Pressbox writer Kevin Eck has recently posted five pitches that he made to Vince McMahon that were rejected regarding story-lines/ideas for WWE TV. One of the more interesting stories was of Kevin Eck trying to create a story of current Intercontinental Champion Dean Ambrose & former WWE Diva AJ Lee becoming WWE’s version of Bonnie & Clyde.

 Kevin Eck: “The rocky relationship between AJ and Bryan culminated with AJ leaving him at the altar after she discovered he was planning on having her committed to a mental institution after the wedding. Meanwhile, the creative team was looking for a Plan B to bring Ambrose from developmental to the main roster. Plan A, a “worked-shoot” angle with Ambrose and Mick Foley engaging in a war of words on social media was scrapped after Foley legitimately took issue with something Ambrose said about him.”

“My idea was for Bryan’s plan to have AJ committed actually succeed. We’d take her off TV for a little while before bringing her back in dramatic fashion. She would return with her new boyfriend (Ambrose), whom she had met while both were patients in the institution. Ambrose and AJ would wreak havoc, becoming WWE’s version of Bonnie and Clyde.”

“Vince McMahon had a different vision. The WWE chairman and CEO loved the AJ character and decided to make her the new “RAW” general manager after she called off the wedding to Bryan. AJ as GM didn’t get over, and her run as an authority figure lasted just three months.”
