Tony Khan rang in the new year in typical fashion, making a big statement on Twitter as prior to the clock stricking midnight. The AEW president reflected on an eventful 2024 while hyping today’s monumental AEW Dynamite debut on MAX, Warner Bros. Discovery’s streaming platform.
“Thank you all who watched AEW in 2024!” Khan tweeted on December 31. “In 2024, important new stars arrived, key AEW figures returned, + Sting retired undefeated in the grandest fashion during an amazing run of shows building to 2025: New Year’s Day Wednesday Night #AEWDynamite on TBS + @StreamOnMax TOMORROW!”
This marks a historic moment for AEW as the promotion expands its reach onto MAX while keeping its flagship show, Dynamite, on TBS. It’s a move that solidifies AEW’s growing presence in the wrestling world and comes on the heels of a massive new television deal with Warner Bros. Discovery, estimated at over $185 million annually.
AEW Dynamite will remain a two-hour weekly program, with Tony Khan confirming the core format won’t change under the new deal. However, the addition of MAX as a streaming home could bring in a whole new audience while potentially changing how viewership is measured.
Today’s AEW Dynamite is shaping up to be a must-see event, and Khan’s end-of-year message has fans hyped for what’s to come in 2025. With major stars, fresh rivalries, and a growing platform, AEW is starting the new year with momentum.
