The Milly is in da house, WHERE THE BEST WRESTLE.
Previous reporting by Puck’s John Ourand had a deal at three guaranteed years with an option for a fourth at a “ballpark” of $170 million annually. His report also included TruTV being included in the mix, but that was not mentioned in any reporting Wednesday.
SportsBusinessJournal reported after Wednesday’s announcement that the deal is “estimated to be valued at $170M total including the rights fee and other elements.”
Here are the highlights, first reported by The Wrap:
Dynamite and Collision will remain in their current homes and networks on both Wednesday and Saturday, respectively
Both Dynamite and Collision will stream live on Max for U.S. subscribers starting in 2025
AEW content that airs on any WBD network will also be available to stream on Max on-demand. How far back that content will go was not announced
Starting “later in 2025,” AEW and WBD will offer live PPVs on Max at a “discounted price per event” with all marketing and promotions of those PPV events exclusively centered on Max.
The new deal includes “enhanced distribution rights across social media as well as potential new AEW programming on linear and digital platforms.”
PS. FUCK YOU EDRONES
