AEW’s Tony Khan Talks Upcoming Media Rights Deals, Praises WBD CEO David Zaslav

Tony Khan also detailed his relationship with WBD and their CEO David Zaslav, highlighting how Zaslav is keen to have more AEW programming on WBD.

“I know we were having great talks and I’m very blessed to be engaged with the awesome leadership of Warner Brothers Discovery. Mr. Zaslav has been amazing for AEW,” said the AEW CEO. “Again, like I was just saying, to be able to create new opportunities after several years of being here and a couple of different, great regimes, including the awesome regime that helped us launch this, it’s been so refreshing to have Mr. Zaslav come in with a fresh perspective and want more AEW and give us the opportunity to do a Meal and a Match, give us every Saturday night on TNT for ‘Collision,’ and I would absolutely love to stay here as long as they would have us.”

Khan reiterated how AEW has been treated well by TBS and TNT, and that he’s pleased to be working for Zaslav and WBD, and hopes that the partnership will continue. AEW’s deal with WBD to air “AEW Dynamite,” “AEW Rampage,” and “AEW Collision,” expires on December 31, 2024. Recent reports have indicated that WBD is happy with AEW, despite a recent slump in ratings. An official announcement of any new deal between AEW and WBD could reportedly be released in the summer or fall.
