The purchase of ROH also means they can get some of their acquired talents to solely appear in another program that is not Rampage or Dynamite. This way, it helps the ever-growing roster to have screentime while at the same time crossing over to another promotion. The acquisition came just in time as AEW has been expanding roster-wise.
