Reminder that AEW fans' response to this was "What's Tony supposed to do, take the first offer he gets?" completely ignoring that AEW and WBD have been negotiating throughout 2023 and 2024, with the former expecting a deal in 2023, avoiding the option year.

Why hasn't WBD renewed AEW?

Warner Bros has so many money problems. Last thing they’re gonna do is re-up with a no milly company for a significant amount of cash. Even with NBA lost, there’s not a filled void with some trash wrestling. TK doesn’t have the business acumen, and his father can only do so much when the ship is constantly on the wrong course.

Reminder, the guy who said this has never reported on anything AEW related before this and is in bed with Nick Khan.

That's really interesting. I had thought they were paying Tony for the additional content, though.

which makes me wonder, if AEW is losing money how does that impact WBD's balance sheet, interact with the negotiation, and impact the price?

Would be great, but WBD can't hire anyone competent enough to write capeshit, let alone wrestling.
