AEW could offer benefits to talent to help entice them over. They could offer pensions to talent who spend enough time wrestling for the promotion. Offer AJ Styles $60,000 a week for five years with 1% of his contract to be paid in order to retain licencing fees after that if he doesn't want to wrestle. Getting paid $15,600,000 over five years with a guaranteed cheque of $600 a week coming after that for as long as AEW stays in business just so they can use him in video games and documentaries or whatever would be a pretty appealing offer to me.
