>The high-stakes negotiations for the next round of UFC television rights are intensifying, with at least four companies reportedly in the mix now that TKO and UFC’s exclusive negotiating window with current partner ESPN has closed. According to a report from John Ourand in his Puck Varsity newsletter, AEW’s broadcast partner, Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD), is considered a “wildcard in the negotiations,” a development that could have significant implications for AEW programming, particularly AEW Collision. >WBD is actively seeking to acquire various sports rights to bolster its portfolio, especially as the NBA has officially departed its networks as of this week. According to Ourand, WBD would plan to air UFC fights on its linear channels (like TNT or TBS) in addition to its streaming platform, Max. >Should WBD successfully acquire a significant UFC rights package, it’s assumed that AEW Collision would need to move from its current Saturday night slot on TNT. Ourand suggests that Collision could potentially go head-to-head with UFC on a different WBD station.

>>17886641 Tony can’t go against the NFL due to some conflict of interest shit.
My guess is Dynamite will eventually go 3 hours and Collision will be a one-hour Rampage type show.

Remember when they desperately tried to make it look like they'd go to TNT? About 6 months later they admitted "yeah we just wanted the AEW to get a worse tv deal"

I told you fags, WBD is getting sold and AEW isnt part of the deal. I Hope you enjoy John Constantine going to marvel to undo One More Day and Quicksilver becoming The Flash

>>17888404 WBD is getting sold but AEW will be apart of it. But the new owner will just cancel them especially because WBD has a performance clause and AEW is failing.

>>17893074 Lowest number of views and lowest number of hours watched worldwide for RAW since the debut. It was getting 3 million or better in the beginning. It's lost 400k-500k viewers. If you paid attention to the ratings, you'd notice RAW has been in a downward trajectory for some time now.
