Here’s a breakdown of the details regarding AEW’s future, based on the provided text:
* No Netflix Deal: AEW will not be moving to Netflix as part of the Warner Bros.Discovery (WBD) deal.
* Staying with Discovery: AEW’s rights will remain with WBD (Discovery).
* Move to Turner Sports app: After the current media rights deal expires, AEW’s weekly programming (“Dynamite” and “Collision”) will likely move from HBO Max to the Turner Sports app.
* PPV Situation: Pay-per-view events will remain on HBO Max until the current deal ends. There’s a possibility of a non-exclusive agreement allowing streaming on both Turner Sports and HBO Max. Currently, AEW PPVs are also available on Amazon Prime Video.
* Complications: The text indicates there are complexities surrounding AEW’s future, as clarified in an SEC filing (though the details of the filing aren’t provided in this excerpt).
In essence, AEW is staying within the WBD ecosystem, but its placement within that ecosystem is shifting away from HBO Max and towards Turner Sports.
