Archer got over in Japan, he isnt someone just starting out. He was heavyweight tag champion multiple times with Harry Smith / Davey Boy Smith Jr and held the US title until losing to Jon Moxely in Jan 2020Archer wasn’t good enough or had enough about him to warrant a push, he was in the WWE and he got passed over.
I don’t think AEW even have the same confidence as you do of him getting over on his own, they put Jake Roberts with him. Braun never had that after he truely became Braun Strowman and not generic Wyatt monster.
Jake is there to give Jake a role and to continue giving former WCW talents who were on TNT in the past a bit of shine and screentime. It'll hopefully help him stay sober as well. Bret, Jake, Dustin, Tully, DDP they were all there.
Kenny Omega was with WWE too. I guess he didnt have enough about him and got passed over, until WWE wanted to throw money at him and sign him for the past several years
Braun doing this
