AEW and Warner Bros. Discovery have officially locked down a multi-year, multi-platform media rights deal that could send shockwaves through the wrestling industry. Starting in January 2025, fans can catch AEW Dynamite and AEW Collision not just on WBD networks but also streaming on Max, making it easier than ever to keep up with all the in-ring action.

But the real buzz? Dave Meltzer from F4WOnline made a ridiculous claim saying,

>“AEW next year will be more profitable than the entirety of WCW’s 13 years combined, then WWF from 1990-98 combined, and WWE every year from 2011 to 2017.”

But not everyone is buying it—especially former WCW President Eric Bischoff. Never one to shy away from controversy, Bischoff fired back at Meltzer, calling him out in a fiery tweet.

>“Cool. Share the ‘in kind’ value within the license agreement against the current profit and loss statement and projections. You absolutely would have had to be able to analyze (or, in your case, have someone explain it to you) that detail, or you couldn’t possibly make such a statement. Unless, of course, you are full of shit. Which you prove every time you make such ridiculous statements. So which is it? Have you seen detailed P&Ls and forecasts from the LLC’s accountants? Or are you just full of shit? It’s a binary choice.”
