It was pretty convoluted.

If I had to guess AEW probably didn't have enough teams available at the time to do an 8 team tournament and needed a quick storyline excuse for the bye.

Young Bucks and Lucha Bros would have given them 8 but Lucha Bros are not officially signed and also have AAA stuff to take care of. LAX gives them 8 now but at the time it wasn't guaranteed they'd sign with AEW.
