If it was Brock, it would need to be an outrageous amount of money for Vince not to match it. They've built most of the last decade around Brock being the final boss.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss three 1-1 draws.
The first got us knocked out of the FA Cup, the next puts us in a good position in our Round of 16 Europa League game, and the latest was an actual decent performance against Arsenal at Old Trafford.
All hopes for the season now rest on the Europa League - does Amorim have the squad to win it?
I think Christian would be a great get, I just can't see how that would happen with him just returning though... Surely Vince /WWE would have locked him in / he'd be loyal enough towards them to let them know AEW approached him.
It's not Brock or Punk... You promote that shit beforehand and get a ton of buys.
It has to be Angle or RVD.

Angles last match should not be that shitty wm Match with Corbin. Even if he comes in and has one gimmick bells and whistle match where they mask negatives with weapons and spamming finishers (but angle isn't Hall of fame worthy ... He's a Hall of famerl
Christian is Hall of fame worthy and looked great in the rumble. But yeah agree with @Annihilate Now!
Wwe has edge, Christian was in the rumble and surely wwe would want to have him first.

Christian doesnt have a contract as yet according to Meltzer. WWE could give him one right now to avoid it
They probably have. Unless he just didn't tell Vince AEW came in for him, which I find hard to believe.
Though Vince has never really been high on Christian so maybe he's just not given him a good enough offer.
Christian is definitely the best (realistic) get for AEW and one that would live up to the hype in my opinion.

Angle shared a video on Twitter that seemed to imply he’s coming back, sounds like it’s him.
My apologies
Scratch everything I said. Just watching angles broken skull session episode, and it's clear he's bitter about his GM run and eventual retirement. Rightly so.
Though a multi year deal is a bit much.
Edit: just to be clear though, I do not want to see Kurt Angle wrestle in 2021.

Genuinely found it really hard to watch Angle at the end, him and his massive neck. Please stay retired.
Isn't RVD making a new series on the WWE network? Hard to imagine WWE allowing him to do that whilst he's wrestling for AEW?
Personally i think it'll be Angle... i can't see it being Christian as he'll likely want a run in WWE with Edge i imagine. As for Brock and Punk, damn right you'd promote the hell out of that. You'd hype it up to the max for mega buyrates, seeing as most of the times these 'huge signings' end up being someone no one really cares about anymore.
It should be
Jim cornette
Jim cornette
So where can you find AEW in the UK? Would like to watch this ppv
FiteTV and PS store off the top of my head.
In two minds whether to purchase myself or not.
Interesting, never watched an AEW ppv so will have a think. Thanks for the advice.
It's Steve Blackman and I honestly don't see how anyone could think otherwise.
Quoting this for future reference.
If they bring back Head Cheese then you can consider this ratings war over
I’m sure I read whoever it is is under 50, so that rules Kurt out.
According to google he wrestled with the Shield in October 2017 in place of Roman Reigns, then at Survivor Series that year, and then the Rousey match was Wrestlemania 2018
It's John Cena
Wow, you really love Jim cornette huh.
Was Rob Van Dam, actually.
Watchwrestling.in
Shockmaster
Thinking about what Big Show said, he said it was someone who was HOF worthy and Angle is in the HOF so I think that rules him out.
I use fite TV. They have AEW plus for £4.89 a month and that has Dynamite live each week and they host the ppvs for £19.99
So PPVs are extra charge they don't fall under subscription?
Was thinking of subscribing tonight as there's a free trial.
The issue I have with these announcements is that they hype them up to be someone incredible, then it turns out to be a bit of a let down. I understand its all for PPV buys and the sorts, but it's just damaging future surprises.
That's for any and all promotions, WWE have done some major fails in the past and TNA have had their fair share of them too. Just hope AEW actually live up to the hype here and it's not just some money grabber or 90s 'legend' looking for one last pay day
They get one of these, in my opinion.
They have been the buzz of wrestling this week with everyone wanting to know who it is. If they deliver someone like Punk or Brock, they've followed through on the hype they generated.
If it's Christian, Angle or RVD, they'll get laughed out of it and casuals may ignore any future teases.
I completely agree, but as others have said, if it was Punk or Lesnar you'd hype the absolute crap out of it, especially seeing as a lot of people see these surprises as a let down before they've even happened.
Chances of it being Lesnar is slim as Vince would probably triple what AEW offers him as he seems to absolutely love the guy. Punk is a possibility but he's said it's not him, but he could defo be lying.
Angles teaser was apparently about his podcast or so I read. RVD is making a new series on the WWE network so it's highly unlikely to be him... Christian though, I thought he'd want a run in WWE again, possibly alongside Edge, but its very likely it could be him...
But just this week the Usos were talking about doing them vs Edge & Christian. Would they know? Would they be talking about that if he was off to AEW?
Have Enzo or Ryback pissed off anyone in AEW recently? It will probably be RVD
Possibly not you know... makes me wonder who it could be then? I can't see it being Punk or Lesnar, and who else is there? Absolutely no chance on earth of it being Cena or Rock.
As you say though, it has to be someone who will change the face of the company with the way they're hyping this. Anything less will be pointless
When does okadas contract run out?
Probably all of them. Even Ring of honor decided not to touch Enzo and Ryback doesnt even wrestle does he?
Theres only been buzz from WWE fans
What they've actually said is completely standard for someone with a name who has done some good stuff in the past 20 years but is completely past their prime.
If they got someone WWE wanted they'd have told you that
Ha! No, he does a podcast now, a platform to piss everyone off is exactly what he needed, he's missed a trick if he hasn't called it go to sleep.
Why do you think it's a no on Enzo though? He was brilliant when he first came through, is it that he doesn't play well with others that got him thrown off a bus, or is it the court case he was facing? Never watched/followed ROH so I'm not sure
Nobody ever liked him backstage, he cant wrestle just talk which is the opposite of AEW and brings nothing to them.
He and Cass had a brawl coming out of the crowd at ROH last year. The reaction was so bad that they never used them again
Come on now, the phrase "huge, huge superstar" was used by Khan. People's mind are gonna wander to Punk/Brock when they hear that.
