>>12113864There's no Max/streaming deal for AEW because there's basically a handshake agreement to bring Raw (and maybe NXT) to TNT/TBS when their deal is up btw.
Why do you think WBD, who is supposedly "thrilled" with AEW, have dragged their feet on giving them any kind of spotlight or integration into their brand identity outside of their TV spot?
Why do you think NBCU paid big money (more than the current deal for Raw/NXT combined) for SmackDown if Raw was staying on their network - if not solely as a way for them to keep WWE on their channel in some form? Raw is not going to FOX. ABC/ESPN and CBS are out. Think of what this leaves.
