I assume Brock'll be back in WWE, but as a hypothetical, would it actually hurt AEW in the long run to sign Brock? I imagine the initial buzz would be great, but they'd be handcuffed over the long haul.
But think of all the brand new interviews Moxley could give about how Brock was uninterested in having a bunch of gimmicked weapons spots in their match from 4 and a half years ago! Moxley has never even talked about that before, it would be worth signing Brock just for that

In all honesty, id love Brock in AEW just refusing to sell anything and squashing everybody in the way nWo decimated WCW. It shouldn't last more than a year, and they could use it as a way to actually make the whole roster an underdog victim like they try to portray themselves as.

At the end of the year have Jericho agree to drop the Cody can't go for the World Title stipulation for the good of AEW, and have Cody defeat Brock.

They do that, guaranteed to be printing money.
