After months of negotiations, AEW and Warner Bros. Discovery finalized a multi-year multimedia rights deal in 2024, securing the broadcast and streaming rights for AEW programming. As part of this agreement, AEW pay-per-view events are set to debut on Max later in 2025, offered at a discounted price per event, making them more accessible to fans.
Recently, a fake audio file began circulating online, claiming to be a private meeting between AEW CEO Tony Khan and Warner Bros. Discovery executives discussing the partnership. However, PWInsider.com has confirmed that the audio is AI-generated and entirely fabricated.
Meanwhile, questions remain regarding AEW’s plans for expanding its programming lineup. Rampage has been confirmed as a discounted offering under the new agreement, but there has been no official update on the long-rumored third AEW program. AEW had reportedly been shopping around a show titled Shockwave, with speculation that it might land at FOX. However, no concrete details or announcements have emerged.
