AJ Lee to leave WWE after Survivor Series??

20141116-190312.jpg

It’s that time again to fumble around the rumor mill. This weeks rumor involves WWE Divas Champion AJ Lee. it was reported earlier by wrestling Observer’s Bryan Alvarez that the word going around is that if AJ does indeed drop her title to Nikki Bella at Survivor Series she may exit the company. This rumor was also reported on JR’s podcast “The Ross report” (Read the original report here) http://wrestlingnews.co/report-aj-lee-may-be-leaving-wwe-after-survivor-series/)

AJ who started “officially” with WWE in 2010 as a diva hopeful on the 3rd season of NXT. Since then she has been a 3 time divas champion (one of which was the longest regin of all time), Raw’s general manager, she dropped what some call the “best promo from a diva ever”, she’s had multiple on screen love interest with some of the biggest stars in the business and main evented multiple Raw’s. With all that in mind one must ask the question what is left for her to do?

As a former fan myself I say this with no disrespect, I think that if she does indeed leave it’ll force WWE to focus on other women on the roster and even perhaps call up some new blood from NXT. Truly AJ hanging it up would be more of a help then a hindrance.

We must also take into consideration that she is married to former WWE superstar CM Punk and it wouldn’t surprise me if she wants to focus on just her married life. Not to mention this isn’t the first time the rumor mill has come up with the subject of AJ leaving.

So will AJ Lee truly hang up her chuck Taylor’s or will she be around for awhile? Will we see a new Divas champ at survivor series? All this and more will be answered in the future.

STAY TUNED!

John Cena VS Ryback:

Is Ryback’s clash with Cena the powerhouse’s final test before he’s officially offered a spot on Team Authority, or is The Authority just trying to soften up Cena?

How will AJ Lee retaliate against Nikki Bella?

Is Dean Ambrose secretly afraid of Bray Wyatt? As Wyatt continues to pry into Ambose’s troubled past to coax Ambrose into an alliance, how will Ambrose repel this psychological onslaught?

Will more Team Cena members emerge?

Can anyone stop the new United States Champion (Rusev)?

IS WWE Bringing Back Nixed Mr. McMahon VS The Authority Angle At WrestleMania?

WWE

There is a lot of speculation that Vince McMahon’s return to RAW could indicate that WWE is going forward with major WrestleMania angle they had planned for last year but was dropped.

There was a plan to build a power struggle between Mr. McMahon and Triple H & Stephanie McMahon for WrestleMania 30. At one point WWE wanted to do Steve Austin VS Triple H. The feud obviously never happened and the idea was dropped.

So now with recent reports of a possible The Rock VS Triple H at WrestleMania 31, and with Mr. McMahon’s appearance on RAW announcing that if Team Authority loses at Survivor Series then The Authority is out of power, there is speculation that WWE may be bringing back the dropped angle with The Rock replacing Austin on Mr. McMahon’s side.
