AEW President Tony Khan remained bullish on the upcoming
media rights deal and said that right now is the most
important time ever in the history of AEW.

Speaking on Chicago-based Q101 radio, Khan said that they’re
on the verge of the most important deal they’ll ever make,
referring to the media rights deal with, presumably, Warner
Bros. Discovery.

“Over five years it’s really been building to this point
where AEW’s going to jump into the media rights and be a
very profitable, successful company that has lived up to
every expectation,” Khan said.

The exclusive negotiation window with WBD has ended with no
deal announced yet although industry insiders feel it’s just
a matter of time before it is announced. But the question is
not if, but how much, AEW will be getting for their new
deal.

Khan has openly said that he wants to stay with the WBD
family and also add a streaming deal with Max.
