While the pay-per-views have a chance of staying on HBO MAX, or even making it to Netflix as special shows, Meltzer confirmed that “AEW Dynamite” and “AEW Collision” would not be going anywhere near Netflix. The shows will reportedly be heading to the Turner Sports streaming service that launches in the summer of 2026, but Meltzer believes that WBD will honor the agreement they already have with AEW, and that TBS and TNT will remain the home of AEW’s weekly programming until the end of the media rights deal, despite most of the sports coverage on HBO MAX migrating to Turner Sports later this year.

“Obviously, they’re going to be on TBS and TNT until 2027, or 2028 if the option’s picked up, and it’s a weird one now because if they’re two separate companies like what? Do they both pick up the option? What if one does and one doesn’t? How does–what kind of money do they get? It’s a really weird thing. But obviously they’re going to keep their TV on the stations because those [stations], that’s the only TV. Netflix is not having a TV station, but they will stay on HBO MAX, they will not go on the Turner Sports streaming service that will start from scratch probably this summer, where all the sports that are on HBO MAX are going, other than the contract essentially says that it will stay with HBO MAX, which is what we were told, until 2027. At that point, the whole world’s going to change.”

Meltzer rounded out by saying that Netflix has promised to keep HBO MAX as a separate entity when the sale for Warner Brothers does eventually close, but he doesn’t see that lasting for long as it would be much easier for Netflix to have everything under one umbrella rather than two.
