Hold onto your folding chairs, folks, because All Elite Wrestling (AEW) is about to pull off a powerbomb of a media deal with Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) that’s bigger than a double turn at WrestleMania! After months of negotiations that have felt longer than a triple-threat Iron Man match, the finish line is finally in sight. Just in time for AEW’s massive showdown at Wembley Stadium, the deal of the century appears to be ready to drop faster than a Moxley elbow.
According to the ever-enigmatic Andrew Zarian, who posted the tantalizing word “imminent” on X (formerly known as Twitter), this deal is almost in the bag. And by “the bag,” we mean the kind of bag that’s overflowing with dollar bills and fanboy dreams. Zarian later spilled a bit more tea, stating that his sources within WBD are practically popping champagne corks over this “significant increase” in the media rights deal.
And what does this mean for AEW and its legions of die-hard fans? For starters, it sounds like the squared circle action is set to invade WBD’s Max streaming service, potentially altering the landscape of wrestling viewership in ways Hulkamania never could. Although the fate of AEW’s pay-per-view model remains in the air like a precarious ladder match, one thing is clear: Tony Khan’s promotion is getting a MAJOR upgrade.
With AEW’s historic All In event ready to pack Wembley Stadium tighter than a Luchador’s mask this Sunday, fans are buzzing with speculation. Will Tony Khan drop the bombshell announcement during the event? If so, this might just be the most electrifying moment in sports entertainment since a certain Great One took up acting.
Get ready for a new era of AEW, folks. The revolution is not only televised—it’s about to go global!
