AEW has found great success since launching in 2019, as they quickly got a TV deal with WarnerMedia to launch its flagship weekly show, Dynamite, before creating Rampage in 2021. At the start of 2022, Dynamite moved from TNT to TBS.
2024 will be a big year for the wrestling business as both AEW and WWE’s media rights deals will expire with its partners. This year, the companies will begin talks with TV networks to try to lock down deals.
While speaking with Uproxx Sports, Khan commented on the upcoming media rights negotiations. The AEW/ROH President is confident that AEW will get big money for its product.
“I expect big increases in the rights for the AEW programs, and we’re on a good pace to make a very lucrative deal for the AEW media rights going forward,” Khan said.
Khan was also asked about a potential streaming deal for the promotion. He touted them doing 174 Dynamite episodes, 80 Rampage episodes, and 16 PPV events.
He noted there’s a lot of interest in the AEW library as well as the new weekly content they put out. Khan added that it makes sense for them to try to make the AEW library available to fans all over the world.
