Actually letting Cody lead the way wouldn't be a terrible idea. It's clear that he had grander designs for what he wanted to mold AEW into and when TK let the Elite have their way and it strayed from Codys vision, he bailed.
So make him the guy in NXT. I don't mean total control, but bring him in on the decision making and try to shoot for what he wanted out of AEW when it started. Make this show actual professional wrestling, not sports entertainment, and not sports choreography.
Building Codys AEW in NXT and having it overtake Dynamite would make for a hell of a legend.
