You build him up going over some of the better guys, build to a big program with whoever you want to elevate, and use Braun’s last ppv commitment to put over said talent. Brain gets months of exposure, an elevated profile, and can move on to other promotions while the guy you used Braun to elevate has some momentum and a big win under their belt to move into their next program with. Idk how much talent would be up for these kinds of deals but I’m sure if the money and schedule is right they can pull it off with some of the free agents floating around.

Right now, I do think AEW has more than enough talent to keep matches and storylines fresh. They already do a good job using their 3 hours of TV to get a ton of guys on the show whether it’s vida matches, promos or vignettes and so far I think that’s working just fine and their roster doesn’t need any new signings.
