How would you do it?
You get to steal one person(or tag team) from WWE.
You get to steal one person(or tag team) from NJPW.
You get to steal one person(or tag team) from Impact Wrestling.
You get to steal one person(or tag team) from Ring of Honor.
You get one indie/free agent talent(or tag team).
For me it would be:
From WWE - Big Show (He got himself in the best shape of his life and WWE refuses to properly use him. I think going to AEW would give them another mainstream name and he's great for younger guys to work with and help get over. Him/Archer would be great for me.)
From NJPW - TAKA Michinoku (A name some fans might remember from WWE. He's a veteran, again, someone that can help with the under-developed talent. He obviously doesn't have to win much so it gives you a recognizable name that can lose. Sort of a recognizable jobber kinda role, so your original talent doesn't have to keep losing over and over.)
From Impact - Tessa Blanchard (I mean, she would help their women's division immensely and she seemingly can get good matches out of anybody.)
From ROH -Session Moth Martina (Someone else to flesh out the women's division. She's got a hard gimmick which I like. I think the crowd would get behind her too. Even have her do some segments with Hangman over their love of drinking.)
From the indies - Nicole Savoy (Again, just someone to beef up the women's roster. Great in the ring and I know can put on great matches for the division!)

With Katie Forbes and doing that gimmick? Would you use Stu as a wrestler or manager/commentator? |

I'd imagine she'd come with him if he ever were to jump over, don't really care about the gimmick but just seeing RVD in AEW would be cool. As for Stu, i would like him to wrestle, but i'd be fine with a manager role. |

WWE: The Revival NJPW: Kota Ibushi ROH: Marty Scurll TNA: Tessa Blanchard Indies: don’t know squat about women on the indies, but anyone who could legitimately help the women’s division is my choice Would love to see Ibushi in AEW! Seeing the awkward dynamic he could cause between Kenny/Hangman I think would make for a very entertaining feud! Would be a really good angle to fully explore Kenny and Hangman's characters and what they both want out of this partnership/friendship. |

Would be a really good angle to fully explore Kenny and Hangman's characters and what they both want out of this partnership/friendship. Okada would be a bigger get with all the prestige he would bring from all his title reigns and accomplishments and being one of the best in the world in recent years (not that Ibushi isn’t). But Ibushi is sneakily one of my favorites across all promotions, and as you eluded to he would easily fit into a current storyline. |

I'm limiting my answers to folks who either are realistic or could be in the relative future. So no Marty, Okada, etc.
You get to steal one person(or tag team) from WWE - The Revival
You get to steal one person(or tag team) from NJPW - Roppongi 3K
You get to steal one person(or tag team) from Impact Wrestling - Tessa Blanchard
You get to steal one person(or tag team) from Ring of Honor - Joe Hendry
You get one indie/free agent talent(or tag team) - Millie McKenzie. If she is still interested in staying on the indies, Laura DiMatteo
I could see Hendry getting over huge with AEW's crowd. The tag division is clearly a focus and treated on par with singles wrestling, so adding some additional depth there can't hurt. And they really need some capable in ring workers in the women's division. And of the 3 I named are good, young, and have the potential to be stars with some additional seasoning. In Tessa's case, I'd argue she's already there.

I like this idea. STC I'm definitely going your route of taking the realistic options. Also avoiding listing people I think may have already unofficially confirmed (I.e. The Revival, Archer, Lee, Hardy). This was insanely hard to decide.
WWE - Ilja Dragunov
NJPW - Taiji Ishimori. I was going to say Jay White originally, but it feels wrong picking a Gaijin. Picking from this company made me sad there can't be some relationship. Would love for excursions to take place in AEW, having Shooter follow Mox here to complete his excursion would have been awesome!
Impact -- The North -- I would pick Tessa, but so many others have already, and the North are so damn good.
RoH - Session
Indies - Tenille Dashwood or Miranda Alize. Whichever they could convince.

WWE: Kings of Wrestling (Castignoli and Hero to wrestle and train.... Sara Del Ray to train women and maybe wrestle?) NJPW: Masahiro Chono (to train heels) TNA: Havok (not sure if her tag partner is there) ROH:Cheesburger and Beer City Bruiser Other: Marifuji or Masato Tanaka Indie/Retired (technically): Hernandez or Matt Morgan I didn't follow the rules to a t, but this would be nice  |

One person(or tag team) from WWE - Bobby Roode. I was a big fan of his TNA/Impact run. Hasn't gotten a chance to shine in WWE, IMO.
One person(or tag team) from NJPW - G.O.D. (Tama Tonga & Tanga Loa)
One person(or tag team) from Impact Wrestling - Tessa Blanchard
One person(or tag team) from Ring of Honor - The Briscoe Bros.

Just John Cena. That way it would be fun to see all the diehards just go crazy and are now forced to say that Cena is the greatest of all time.  |
