Tony Khan discussed the ongoing discussions between AEW and Warner Bros. Discovery for a potential extension of their TV rights deal set to end this year.
It is believed that an announcement may come in the summer or fall if an agreement is reached.
In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Khan tackled the concerns surrounding the negotiations and reassured fans and employees of the company.
“It’s a really exciting time for AEW,” said Khan. “We’re in active negotiations for the AEW media rights. Warner Bros. Discovery continues to be the best possible partner, and they’ve helped us grow this brand. It’s going to be a very exciting remainder to this year, and we’ll find out where AEW is going to live.”
“For everyone who cares about AEW all over the world, we’re in a great position. This is going to work out really well for AEW. We’re having great talks, and people should feel very confident about what that means for the wrestlers, the staff, and the fans. As a result of everyone’s hard work and endless support from the fans, there will be a tremendous deal for AEW. The outlook for the company is so bright moving forward.”
