Starting to hear rumblings of AEW resurrecting the Four Horsemen. Then tonight they had Arn and Tully in the ring with FTR, the Young Bucks and the RnR express. Which ended with FTR spike piledriving Ricky Morton. Reminded me right before Tully Ric and Arn became the greatest faction ever. Magnum was cutting a promo on Tully who he was fueding with when out of the blue he is attacked by the Andersons who had no connection to Tully at the time besides all being heels. I have a feeling Cody would want to be in the faction but I would rather see them destroy him instead. He is a 'Rhodes' afterall that's what Horsemen do. Not sure who the other 2 members would be, MJF can rock the mic but then again maybe Pac because what made the Horsemen great was their exceptional workrate. Pac, MJF, FTR run by Tully and Arn would be sweet as protectors of old school wrestling and haters of what the elite stand for.
Unless AEW owns the trademark I can't see this happening. They will need a new name due to this. TNA years ago had to call their group managed by Ric Flair "Fortune" and do a weird 4 finger gesture because the WWE owned the name and likely gesture. Unless MLW owns the trademark or Steve Corino (he was the guy who came up with the name in Turnbuckle Championship Wrestling and MLW) to Xtreme Horsemen we could see it.
But yeah they will likely get a new name and group. FTR as 1st members makes sense. The other 2 will need be to well planned to work and fit the group.

i'll pass on another 4 horseman regurgitation, i'd rather see something somewhat original.
i also have to say i'm very glad they put the womens cup on youtube, it's been pretty bad. if they're going to book nicole savoy as big swole's sidekick "little swole" i'd much rather it not be on tv. maybe it's not fair to say this but i just feel like brandie must be in charge of this thing.
Saw on some topic on youtube that Cody or Arn or Conrad Thompson (?) has the rights to the Four Horsemen name so it would be available to AEW but it would be daunting shoes to try and fill. Being a Horsemen like faction is one thing being called the Horsemen is another. Just like being a Flair like heel is one thing, calling yourself the Nature Boy is something else entirely. That being said an old school vs new school of wrestling war is as intriguing today as WWF vs the NWA was back in the day. The question is are the Elite able to take their egos out of the old school vs new school debate or will they squash the other side like Vince squashed WCW during the Invasion.
I could be wrong.... but I always sort of got the sense that Kenny Omega focused on the booking of the womans division.
But honestly AEW probably doesn't have much of an established strict chain of command as far as booking goes. A bunch of them probably collectively book everything.
So Velveteen returned last night, and I have to say this. The edge and mystique is gone. Even before the outside issues, I feel like he is just into his character at all.
The AEW women's division doesn't have the stars to cover for bad creative. Other than Brit , there is no one doing anything interesting.
