That is a massive lapse of judgement on their part. Cody is not like anyone else in AEW. He began his career as a WWE guy. In many ways, he never stopped being a WWE guy. Thats what made him stand out in ROH, NJPW, and AEW. You're talking about a guy who was born and bred in the WWE training program, and never lost or stopped using the fundementals learned there. Never picked up any bad indy habits, and only improved his work and overall image by leaps and bounds.

And we know enough about Vince to assume he respects Cody for betting on himself and accomplishing what he did outside of WWE. What have any of these other guys done that would be equally impressive to vince?

Cody is in a completely different universe from anyone else looking to get out, and if they think the machine will get behind them half as much as it has Cody, they're out of their minds.

Better to stick with the incompetent, yet more pliable billionaire you already have, rather than trade him for another who may just give you some horrible 90's gimmick and call it a day.
Absolutely this, I do think there would be a few exceptions like Hangman or Wardlow, and maybe Omega is he got healthy and back in shape, but that is probably the extent of non ex WWE guys who would get a good spot with Vince.

That said, MJF would get a great spot as an occasional wrestler, but his spot would be somewhere between a Bobby Heenan manager type and a guy with a talk show spot to set up other matches by stirring the pot.

I also think there is a solid first AEW original to make the jump, whoever that ends up being, and I think MJF is smart enough to know that.

I also have to think cokehead Tony has to be afraid of another person leaving looking like a much bigger star with WWE's presentation.

Vince has done this before, he lets the competition "steal" a bunch of talent, bloat their roster with ex WWE guys, and then cherry pick a few disgruntled originals and leave the mark company with egg on their face.
