Billy's a mark for Tyrus because he's a regular on that Fox News show and wears the NWA TV title. I wouldn't be shocked if Billy puts the world title on him for the same reason.
I got the impression AEW was just doing due diligence to see if there was any interest, kicking the tires if you will. I don't fault them for asking, but yeah I don't want him anywhere near AEW either.
Your mileage may vary since AAA since day one has tended to be an acquired taste, but his run leading up to the first Triplemania main event is probably his best work.
It doesn't quite pack the punch it would have years ago, but it would certainly shine some light on WWE to folks who normally wouldn't be aware of such things.
Also HBO being part of the Warner/Discovery empire could have implications for any future TV deals if/when Vince throws a hissy at them if they do this.
