Daniels or AJ would have been in the cruiserweight division or made into tag jobbers like London and Kendrick.

Joe maybe but he was the kind of fat that Vince would have only tolerated from Samoans at that time.

Joe definitely. Much higher ceiling than the other two. Good look, good promo and great in ring. Always thought he peaked 15 years too early.

AJ Styles can be a goofy comedy character and he might've found a way to get over with the crowd, Daniels has nothing other than flips

Joe would have been a main event heel of the month for Cena and then become WHC on SD. AJ would be a midcarder but get over on workrate and be a top SD face.

I’m convinced without and TNA run WWE doesn’t take AJ anymore seriously than they took Paul London.
Samoa Joe I don’t think so. He would want to do the Umaga character and just doing all the 90s Japanese moves wouldn’t have gotten him over with the wwe fans, another guy who needed his TNA run to be taken seriously.
I could see Daniels being a manager, but if you aren’t Heyman 2000s wwe don’t give a care about no manager. Maybe as curry man he could get some tv time but not a serious push, assuming someone can explain to Vince what curry is.

They didn't take him seriously until after the New Japan run. They wanted him to be a NXT geek before he decided to go to Japan.

No.
AJ and Daniels would’ve been dismissed as tiny jobbers and eventually relegated to cruserweight hell. Mysterio was the only person to survive this because his masks sold. Their style wouldn’t be appreciated in anyway until RA at best if at all.

Samoa Joe would’ve been shat on hard by Rock andsome point and probably reduced to a dancing gimmick. He would nevertheless be in a slightly better spot due to his large size.
