Tony Khan Confirms AEW’s Media Exclusive Negotiation Window with WBD Nearing End

Under the leadership of Tony Khan, AEW has established a significant partnership with Warner Bros Discovery for programming. Khan has been actively involved in ensuring that AEW’s content meets the expectations of Warner Bros Discovery, sparking speculation about a potential media rights deal between the two entities.

Warner Bros Discovery has proudly served as the home of All Elite Wrestling, airing popular shows such as Dynamite, Rampage, and Collision. The exclusive partnership between AEW and Warner Bros Discovery has been so significant that it led to the discontinuation of AEW Dark on YouTube.

Tony Khan previously confirmed the status of AEW’s deal with Warner Bros Discovery. It was then reported that AEW would begin serious negotiations with Warner Bros Discovery soon.

During the ROH Supercard of Honor media call, Josh Nason from Wrestling Observer asked Tony Khan about the closure of the exclusive negotiation window with Warner Bros Discovery, as Khan revealed that the negotiation window will be coming to an end very soon.

“I’m not sure that I am able to answer that question. I don’t want to endanger anybody who works here or get anybody in trouble. I’m not sure I can say. It’s coming up soon. I probably shouldn’t say the exact date. I do appreciate you asking that. I probably shouldn’t say the exact date. It’s coming up pretty soon here.”

We have already reported that AEW could possibly be nearing an agreement with Warner Bros Discovery for the media rights deal. As talks advance, the timing of AEW and Warner Bros Discovery’s agreement remains uncertain. Nonetheless, clinching a deal with Warner Bros Discovery would be a noteworthy milestone for Tony Khan’s company.
