Tony Khan has some very good news for AEW fans.
It has been common knowledge that AEW’s current media rights deal with Warner Bros Discovery will expire in 2024 after the first deal was signed in 2019. While at one point it appeared to be a certainty that the relationship would be renewed, recent live attendances and ratings being down have created a lot of uncertainty in regards to what the future holds for the brand. While Khan has been asked about media rights in just about every interview and has not provided much of an update, a recent appearance in front of the fans appears to have changed that.
The night before All Out, AEW hosted a 3 hour special with Collision and Rampage airing back to back. At the end of the taping when the cameras stopped rolling, Khan appeared in front of the fans and effectively said that the new deal was done:
“I feel pretty good to say that AEW on TBS and TNT I think is here to say.”
An official announcement and press release is expected to be made in the near future. Initially just airing Dynamite on TNT, the flagship show later moved to the TBS Network with Rampage and Collision later added to the weekly line-up.
