Tony Khan Details What New Rights Deal Would Mean For AEW
Tony Khan is happy with AEW/WBD negotiations
AEW and WBD were reportedly in talks once again this week over a new TV and rights deal, but nothing has been announced just yet. AEW President Tony Khan has revealed in an interview with SportsGrid that a deal is nearly there, and completing it would be a big thing for the company, explaining that it would mean all the hard work has been worth it.
“It’s going to be a huge thing. It will mean that all the investment into AEW has more than paid off. It’ll mean a very secure future for AEW for a very long time to come. We’re going to get a great media rights deal. We’re having great conversations here. And we have a great home now at Warner Bros. Discovery, and, you know, I think this is a great home for us. I’m really pleased they want us to stay. They’ve made us great offers and we’re having great conversations now. But, you know, with five hours of wrestling every week and streaming, there’s all kinds of things to talk about. It’s really, really very exciting for the future of AEW.”
Khan went on to success the great talks he’s had with David Zaslav of WBD, complimenting him on how engaged in conversation he has been with Khan and AEW. Khan said that he hopes to be working with WBD for a very long time.
