He needs an evil heel to defeat. If TNA makes him the one to dethrone Bully (and after the rematch, KEEP him down) then I think they could have enough there to work him up as the top face in the company. Trouble is, as of now, they seem to be going with AJ's return as the ending for Aces & 8's.
Unless the plan is for AJ to turn full heel after BFG (which could be made to work - he turned face from his tweener/heelish character simply to get a shot at Bully/the world title and used the MEM as a stepping stone to achieve this) then there's a possibility that Magnus could be the one to overthrow AJ.

I think Magnus has a few things going for him. One is clearly age, but he also has the look of a main eventer and he can talk. Decent in the ring as well. I don't believe in rushing someone to the world title, even in this day and age. Let Magnus build his personality a bit more and really get over with the crowd, and then pull the trigger on him. I think he was getting there a couple of months ago, but being trapped in the MEM angle has really sucked a lot of momentum out of his character (ditto with Joe). After BFG where (hopefully!!!), the Aces and Eights angle is over, then Magnus can move on.
Right now, I think the perfect foils for him on his path to main eventer is EGO. Roode, Kazarian, and Daniels can make him look like a million bucks in the ring, and an extended feud with them will give him something to do while building his character as well. A feud with Bully would help him as well, as Bully can sell like crazy.
If/when Magnus wins the World Title, it would be cool if he won it against Samoa Joe given their history the past couple of years. Of course, that means Joe would have to win the title again, but that's doable, even if it's just as a transition to Magnus.

I think he's the only really great thing about the Mafia. He plays both "smug" and "driven" very well, which is pretty much all you need to do to be a wrestling character. Any more development and we could call him deep.

Magnus needs a Jason Statham gimmick. Including telling his opponent to wait because his jacket just came out of the dryer.
