Wrestling fans, buckle up as we dive into the world of AEW and Warner Bros. Discovery’s TV rights tangle! Picture this – AEW, the wrestling wonderland, found its broadcast home in the welcoming arms of Warner Bros. Discovery back in 2019. Fast forward to now, AEW has evolved its partnership with WB to include shows like Dynamite, Rampage, and Collision – talk about expanding the ring!
But hold on to your hats because drama alert! Recent chatter suggests that AEW isn’t all smiles with WB’s current media rights offer. Tony Khan from AEW is a bit “disappointed” with it. With WB losing NBA broadcasts recently, the plot thickens as AEW gains some serious leverage in negotiations.
While Khan dreams of venturing into streaming paradise with AEW content on WB’s Max service, restrictions in their current deal have thwarted plans like streaming AEW All In: London 2023 on Max (ouch!). The clock’s ticking as negotiations buzz around if we’ll see AEW All In: London 2024 dancing on a streaming service stage.
As the curtain closes on this act of TV rights theatrics, keep your eyes peeled for more updates and twists in this saga at ComicBook!
