>Fox wasn’t happy with the price they paid for WWE versus what they got out of it. They wanted more viewers or, at the very least, viewers who spent more money. >Fox still wants weekly, first-run content >Fox reached out to Tony Khan in mid-August to discuss a potential TV show on network TV >WBD and Fox are already working together on Venu, a combined sports platform along with Disney (and therefore ESPN and ABC). >WBD and Fox both want AEW content to sell their live channels, plus they need content for Venu and Max. >As it stands right now; AEW is going to have a show on TBS, TNT, and Fox. They will also stream live on Venu. Archived PPVs, Dynamite, Rampage, and Collision will be on MAX. >Shockwave will air on Fox, date TBD, in a 2 hour block weekly. It’ll also simultaneously stream on Venu and archived episodes will be available next day on Venu. >All of this has made AEW “insanely profitable”, they’re making at least $350 million a year and they’ve opened up avenues with ESPN, Disney, ABC, and Fox all in a month. This is absolutely unheard of for pro wrestling.

Best case scenario: an absolute wastel squandered minutes of his time cleverly using AI to generate this image and "article."

>>15803625 It’s going to be a rough couple of months for AEW fans. I can’t say more, but there was a deal. It’s not great. Tony salvaged Dynamite but RoH, Rampage, and Collision are done, and Shockwave is just a clip show of the previous Dynamite.
Prepare for the term “reboot” to be used by Tony a lot.

Realistically it's going to be this>Shockwave on Monday on FS1 >Dynamite on Wednesday on TBS >Collision on TNT on Saturday

FYI, if you really believe that AEW is going anywhere but WBD then you're a 0 iq pajeet

>>15807028 I would've agreed if WWE wasn't sending out hit pieces as soon as the Fox rumors came out. I'll be surprised if it happens but the immediately counter effort on their part makes me think it's not impossible. Wasn't the whole thing that Fox was still interested in having wrestling but just didn't see Smackdown worth the cost of what WWE was asking for? So if they can get something cheaper with AEW then that gives them exactly what they want

>>15807046 WBD owns a piece of AEW. They aren't giving rivals content.

>>15807057 He has none because it's not true. After the exclusive negotiating window passed AEW was free to shop around with any other network they want. If that wasn't the case then there never would've been an exclusive negotiating window to start with. More to the point, if WBD has even a part ownership of AEW then why the hell has every piggie and dronie been oinkin about how they're not going to renew them?

>>15807057 The usual wrestling journalists, Meltzer Thurston, etc.
Khan himself said that he'd be open to WBD taking "a bigger piece" of AEW which implies they already have a piece

>>15807066 you do realize that was meant in regards to content and licensing right? as in ppvs which is the main thing everyone has been talking about the entire time with them

>>15807080 pretty sure asking an e-drone if they "realize" something related to a contextual clue from whatever youtube or podcast clip they're regurgitating is about as useful as asking an ant if they understand how gravity works

Quoted By:
>>15807080 Yeah. Or the ROH library. Or the back catalog of Dynamites, etc. The 'piece they already have' are all of the weekly shows airing on their networks. WBD doesn't actually own any part of AEW otherwise every last part of this network deal talk would be entirely moot as the other anon said

Quoted By:
>>15807080 He was specifically talking about and replying to a question about, ownership of AEW.
He also said "what I can tell you is that we (the Khans) own 100% of the voting shares". Which is another way of saying that you don't own 100% of the shares

>>15807057 Tony let it slip at a conference a while that WBD owns some of AEWs equity, they're likely going to be wanting more if they cut a new deal

>>15807051 >>15807104 I don't know one way or another on this part of things so I'm not going to sit around arguing about whether or not it's true. Because that'd just be dumb. Especially on my part. But I will say though that if it is, it's fair to assume that with AEW's current network deal with WBD coming to a close that any partnership, investment, stakes, or whatever would be ending as well. They could renew that of course as it more than obviously seems has been the case. But it doesn't mean AEW had to lock in to any sort of exclusivity this time around. Maybe they did. I don't know. But there's also the chance they haven't, and if they're renewing Dynamite, Collision, and Rampage with WBD that doesn't mean anything as far as them creating a new ip like Shockwave
