The AEW media rights deal with Warner Bros. Discovery is
expected to be announced fairly soon, some suggesting within
the next couple of days.
During a conference call with reporters ahead of All Out,
AEW President Tony Khan said that when announced, it will be
fair to say that AEW will become the second most profitable
wrestling of all time. A good deal is required for AEW to be
profitable, with double value of the existing deal targeted.
Khan said that they are in “the red zone” and once it’s
announced, AEW will score a “huge touchdown.”
He later tweeted that "AEW's on the 1 yard line at the most
important time in our history."
No other hints were given as far as financial details or any
other timeline. Khan has been sporting WBD-related caps to
video interviews and has made it clear that WBD is AEW’s
home.
Last night following the Collision and Rampage show, Khan
made an appearance in front of the fans and said (in his
clearest indication yet), “I feel pretty good to say that
AEW on TBS and TNT I think is here to say.”
