>>14490566I think people are here too quick to doompost/wish fulfillment fantasize about AEW failing to realize David Zaslav does not operate on sane logic. This man said a year ago WB might not need the NBA and now they're in danger of losing their biggest draw to Comcast. This man cancelled a Looney Tunes movie which always make their money back.
Consider the fact 5 years in we have heard more and more decisions in AEW have been influenced by WBD. Consider the fact by next year the only WWE program that will be on cable is Smackdown. There's a fair chance Zaslav believes Dynamite could inherit Raw's audience if they move it to Monday nights. Plus these 3 hour broadcasts recently have done very well compared to AEW's weekly averages. TK didn't want to make Dynamite 3 hours but if WB buys in and starts throwing their weight around he might not have a choice.
This is rhe same guy who greenlit Collision once they picked up their option year. Regardless of the shitposting here Zaslav clearly wants AEW around since it's an easy investment on WB's side.
