In another WWE era, we might have seen AJ Lee and her ex-boyfriend Dolph Ziggler go one-on-one at SummerSlam.
As it is, we’re getting the next best thing: Dolph and Kaitlyn vs. AJ and Big E. Langston, but that doesn’t stop us – and Dolph – from wondering what could have been.
Speaking to IGN about this Sunday’s Pay-Per-View, Dolph said that he would have loved to face AJ in a singles match, saying:
“It would be incredible. If this was a different day and age where the Divas were allowed to step into the ring with the Superstars. Man, I would find a way to make that so entertaining one way or another. I bet it would even wind up being people’s favorite match of the show. You know, in that category. But it is the time we live in now, so it’s not happening like that.”
Of course, in this PG era, the WWE doesn’t allow for Superstar-on-Diva violence, so Dolph said he hoped to take out any anger he has towards AJ on her partner Big E:
“But we do have a lot of animosity for each other so at least I can try and take it out on Big E. Even though he’s so strong and anything I do to anybody usually has little to no effect. Oh man, but me vs. AJ. That’s…and then Kaitlyn goes to spear her but she moves out of the way and I get speared. That would be so great. Anyway, I think me being able to take out some measure of revenge on Big E. and Kaitlyn to be able to get back at AJ – somehow, the four of us all want a piece of the other one.”
We definitely long for the days when Divas could mix it up with Superstars – Lita‘s matches with the likes of Dean Malenko and Spike Dudley were memorable for how they put her over as an extra tough Diva.
Maybe Dolph could spearhead a campiagn to bring back intergender matches. We’ll give you your first petition signatures, Dolph!
Would you like to see AJ and Dolph go one-on-one?
