It's pretty obvious that Cody, of all of the founders of AEW, was the most enamored and linked to American wrestling. Once they got Tony on the hook, it was undoubtedly Cody who was first pushing for them to make their own fed in the US guaranteed.

The Young Bucks were probably somewhere in the middle and Kenny probably needed some convincing but it is very obvious that Cody was the big pusher for AEW to even be a thing in the US.

He got lucky that he met Kenny and the Bucks. They spoke to Tony and helped set everything up, Cody was just there for the ride. His ROH and NJPW runs were bland as fuck and nobody really cared. The fact he was with the rest of the group helped him seem like a much bigger deal than he actually was. Jericho signing got this whole thing over the finish line. Anyone saying otherwise is just fucking retarded and probably didn't watch any of this shit going down.

Cody saying "we'll take that bet" is 100% all he did. Everyone else did more, dealt with dealmakers & breakers. Cody had meetings with TV networks like ESPN who were just entertaining him while TK's crew & Jericho's name did the real work.

It's crazy Cody will never accept that he would still be in AEW, could still be friends with his friends, all if it weren't for Brandi. I do not believe he even cared about the WWE title the way he said he did, it was all about the completely justified way Brandi was dumped out of AEW & he was the only one who couldn't accept it.

Cody ran the whole All In show too. He was learning production and booking and everything he could in RoH, and was very close to taking over those responsibilities and becoming the Vince/HHH of the indies. They got Khan to put up money for the PPV and after it was a success talks started about making a promotion. Cody thought it was going to be a Ted Turner situation and they found the mythical billionaire money mark that would just pay for everything and sit back and enjoy the show until they realized Tony also wanted to be the Vince/HHH of the company and that's when things between Cody and AEW started to sour.

Coming off the original All In that was earlier in the month, Cody gave a speech after the ROH TV tapings that took place after Death Before Dishonor 2018 at the Orleans Casino Arena in Las Vegas. Paraphrasing, he said they were going change the wrestling world doing their own thing. Some thought they'd produce more shows on their own, but eventually ended up as the founding members and EVP's of AEW. So that groundwork before AEW was announced was what he contributed to get it going. They helped get the buzz that eventually got Tony Khan on board the be the money backer to start the promotion.

Cody was the last to sign with AEW. the bucks made it seem like he was still deciding with WWE.

It was:

Kenny's NJPW run
Tony Khan
Jericho = tv deal
Mox signing = big initial buzz

Cody sort of just forced himself as the main promo guy doing the rah rah speeches. but tangible "what made aew" it was those things not cody.

Cody had the ambition to either try to take over an existing promotion and push it hard like ROH or start something new like what AEW ended up doing. He was using a lot of buzz Kenny's NJPW run generated but I think Kenny is a lot more lax and would've been content just coasting in WWE and hanging out with AJ which is why The Elite had to talk Kenny into it.

If you took out Jericho and Cody AEW would have been another indie promo in the US. It would be a slightly bigger ROH running small shows an a couple of PPVs a year. Cody and Jericho are who made it much bigger and really pushed it as the idea of the alternative to WWE which could do weekly TV.
