>The reality is from a business standpoint if AEW is getting only what WBD usually pays for first-run programming for this show, and Punk is at least a
part in getting the deal, I’m not saying the Punk deal is something they had to
make. But it’s a deal that every single promoter in history would have tried to
make. If AEW only makes what Discovery has been paying for first run shows as a
general rule ($500,000 per hour in general is what Discovery pays for first-run
programming), that’s $52 million per year and that’s a game changing financial
deal for AEW. The reality is that or all the shows except sports, AEW Dynamite
is generally the highest rated cable show on all of the WBD channels except for
90 Day Fiancé on TLC. AEW is paid no more than most of the lower rating original
programming. So if anything, a new show should get more.
