I don't care about Braun Strowman really but Bray Wyatt I would like to see in AEW with gimmick #3.
The problem is that high profile signings like that need weekly TV to justify the cost.
Moxley (before paternity leave) always had a storyline, Jerico always has a storyline, Cody always has a storyline, The Elite always have a storyline.
Everyone else fades in and out being fuel for those guys.
Then you have more "home grown" people like MJF, Best Friends, Death Triangle, Team Taz and Darby Allin always being on the shows too.
So the roster is pretty much full and we are adding in Malakai Black, Andrade, Daniel Bryan and CM Punk. They could barely fit in Miro and Lance Archer is having to wrestle in NJPW again. Everytime I spell check this post I have to add in more major talents, what about Matt Hardy and Christian?
How do we integrate Bray Wyatt, who does spooky pervert gimmicks which AEW has failed at three times?
What if WWE continues to demoralise their wrestlers and more big names want to jump ship? Apparently Adam Cole's contract is up and there is no place for him at all.

You'd have to add a second day of programming. Similar to WCW when they added Thursday Night Thunder after their popularity exploded and people jumped ship from WWF.

Well they are! The third hour starts this month and CM Punk is going to debut on the second show.
Hopefully that's enough. I know there's Dark and Elevation but I can't be bothered watching all those YouTube shows. WWE was taking over my life watching 5 hours between Raw and Smackdown.

Isn't the second show two hours too, or is it only one hour?
Edit: I google'd it and it's only one hour. Regardless, they'll be able to give some storylines a week off if they want too. AEW has been about stretching storylines out, so I expect them to be creative about that with talent they are acquiring.

This was my favorite wrestling intro in a long time. Considering this was the opening of the first show after the Punk/Bryan leaks, it felt like the Elite were doing a victory lap and metaphorically dunking on WWE.
Yeah, that's going to really bite them in the ass. It's like they aren't even trying to maintain their position as #1 anymore. A couple years ago they refused to release ANYONE because they might go to AEW, now it's like WWE has just given up.
AEW now has four huge debuts in the near future: Punk, Bryan, Adam Cole, and (if he wants to) Bray Wyatt.
Yeah, what the fuck. I've got zero sympy for WWE after how they held Brodie hostage for most of what turned out to be the last couple years of his life, and after this Bray thing, I hope AEW buries their ass. And I was a huge WWE fan from like 2001 to 2015, still kept tuning in for Wrestlemanias right up to 2019.

That segment advertised Space Jam 2 and they had to pay to use a related song?

The after match bullshit with Cody was so dumb. Black should have really beat his ass again when he came back to hit him with the crutch.
