By realistic I mean that WWE lifers like Cena, Orton & HHH obviously won't go there and Hogan is banned etc.
Moving the needle in the ratings sense takes a long time and it's a slow rise.
Sure you get the occassional ratings bump for a big show or hyped up debut, but there's nobody out there that will suddenly increase you viewership by 500k and it will stay that way.
I mean not really, lesnar of course.
But to be fair if they nabbed someone big from the womens division like sasha banks it would drive lots of young women to watch this moving the needle at least temporarily.
>Ratings Killer Ortonnetty
The only difference between RAW & Dynamite is ~500K boomers, who are worthless both financially and in general.
AEW PPV buys have SKYROCKETED with Punk & Bryan joining.
There are basically no individual wrestlers left that would move the needle and can still go. The only ones that would are Cena and Rock.
If you want to increase viewership you need a good show, not one wrestler people care about.
AEW's got a roster full of potential movers but people have to give shit more about them to tune in. You can bandage ratings with hiring a big name every now and then but then you just have a big name and nobody else.
Cena
Rollins
Lesnar
Reigns
Realistically, though, no one would move there.
It's not about talent, it's about booking, whenever AEW signs big names they only move the needle for a few weeks until they've been hotshotted into every possible dream match and people lose interest.
You are retarded

>hotshotted into every possible dream match
kek this is your brain on fucking SLOP
Rock
Austin
Brock
Cena
Reigns
McGregor
Yes but the hire would have to be a signal of massive fundamental change that would draw attitude era heterosexuals back.
For instance, if GayEW were to fire all women, trannies, and faggots, made some changes to make their shit less indie flip garbage, and hired Stone Cold yes the needle could be moved.
Only if it would signal an entirely new, good, era, that is also like the better, less gay days of wrestling.
As of now it's coreographed Cirque du so Gay and will go bankrupt
kek this "hetero" wants to fire all women
you need to kill yourself, faggot
Punk, Danielson and Cole might have been dimes if handled better. It feels like they tried so hard not to draw comparisons with TNA for hotshotting ex-WWE guys to the main event picture, but really Punk and Danielson were the types of guys who really should have been hotshotted to the main event picture.
Bryan's first match in the company was against the world champ
Rock, Cena, Stone Cold, Jon Jones.

Seek help schizo
>Punk and Danielson were the types of guys who really should have been hotshotted to the main event picture.
Punk wasn't because he came from a 7 years retirement and being 0-2 in MMA. Bryan was hotshotted as hard as they could, having the first match against the world champ, winning the tournament, beating everybody and having two world title matches that were so good that his stock didn't plummet, since he's working with a returning Mox now.
I'm glad they don't listen to retards like you.

Kek get a load of this retard
AEW will always be seen as a knock off WWE by normies, so no. They’ll have the same small obese smark audience until they find the next shiny new promotion
Cena isn't going back to wrestling, Orton tried to go and failed and HHH & Hogan are on their deathbeds
Cultists be like “oh my science aew is so hip with their 49 year old zoomers!”
Cope and dilate. Wwe is soulless garbage
Wwe is the cult, faggot. Go watch smackdown and you will understand why.
>tranny telling anyone to dilate
Try again
>Wwe is the cult, faggot. Go watch smackdown and you will understand why
