Costco Guy AJ Says He Wanted To Be In WWE Before AEW Called Him

Costco Guy AJ is set to wrestle a match for AEW , but he initially wanted to do something with WWE.

AJ and Big Justice appeared at AEW All Out, and AJ later announced that he signed a deal with AEW that will see him return to the ring for one match with the company.

In a recent appearance on I Still Call It A Lariat , AJ discussed his AEW appearances and noted that he initially wanted to be in WWE. (H/t Jeremy Lambert of Fightful for the transcription)

“A lot can be learned from this,” he said. “Business and relationships can be learned from this story. You have to show up with value, big value. When everything happened, I put it out there, ‘I would love to make one WWE appearance.’ I put it out there, put it to our management and let everyone that I know, know about it. I get a call from Sonjay Dutt. Sonjay said to me, ‘We’ve known each other 20 years. I know you’re waiting for WWE.

“All WWE is ever going to do is bring you to WWE. I’m calling you to bring AEW to you. Let’s bring the double chunk chocolate cookies, let’s bring the boom. Let’s do what AJ and Big Justice do.’ Before I took that call, I said, ‘I have so much going on, WWE is really where I want to be.’ AEW is offering that to me, my jaw dropped at that moment. I thought about it, but I didn’t even have to think about it. Sonjay was right.”

As of this writing, there is no word on when AJ’s AEW match will take place. WrestleZone will provide more information as it becomes available.
