Legit cheaper to just use Omega and Cody while both can also work a lot more dates than Lesnar for building long term interest. Lesnar does have the bigger star power but he doesn't really fit with the long term expansion plans they have for the US.
I think they would gladly pay him as much as Okada. No offense to Omega or Cody, but they aren't going to draw people in on the same scale. You get Brock you might get a reputable TV deal or something. If they get in bed with Sinclair, who decide they want to get serious about wrestling, having someone like Brock might convince them to put them on proper television, and they can keep ROH as their nichie product, and they might even front some of his deal.
