The announcement of AEW’s new media rights deal with Warner Bros. Discovery is expected imminently, as in, today, to coincide with Dynamite’s fifth year anniversary.
AEW President Tony Khan said on X that he “may” have an announcement by showtime today, with that announcement being the confirmation of the new television deal.
The announcement has been expected for weeks after both sides wrapped up their negotiations. The deal is not expected to be exclusive as AEW is also working with another network, reportedly FOX, to bring another show to television. Today’s rumored announcement will only concern the deal with Warner Bros. Discovery.
Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Wrestling is also reporting through his Select service that one part of the deal is for Dynamite and Collision to be simulcast live on Max apart from airing on cable television.
