The biggest difference between WCW in the 90s and AEW now is that AEW is taking the guys that WWE wouldn’t push / reluctantly pushed.

WCW took Hogan, Nash, Savage, etc who were all guys that left WWE because they could get payed more, not because they were not fans of WWE style or something.

AEW though doesn’t seem to be about the money. Moxley, Punk, Bryan, Cole (I’m guessing the twitch stuff was a sticking point with a main roster contract), Jericho, didn’t go to AEW to chase money. They went for more opportunity and to be able to control their own creative.
