As a former world champ, Dean had nothing to prove. Going to AEW was a huge step down and affect his earning potential. He could have been feuding with the Bloodline which is the hottest act in all of wrestling. AEW's locker room is filled with drugs and alcohol, and the boss parties with the talent. AEW isn't a healthy environment for someone with a history of alcoholism. Now he's red faced and botching frequently. He's blading on camera. He really did torpedo his career and put his health at risk.
