Could Tony Khan Announce A New TV Deal

It’s long been rumoured that Tony Khan will announce a new AEW media rights deal on the show. It’s believed a deal between the company and Warner Brothers Discovery has already been agreed, although both sides have kept quiet.

According to one report, the agreement is said to be worth around $170 million per year for three years, with a fourth option year on the table.

According to a new update from Dave Meltzer, the official announcement could come during Dynamite.

An announcement is just about ready for the new WBD and AEW media rights deal. I think the announcement will only mention a deal, the stations but not necessarily everything that the deal entails. But as we’ve reported weeks ago, the deal has been completed. It’s possible it’ll be Wednesday in conjunction with the fifth anniversary.

On October 2nd, the card will be topped by a huge double-title match between World Champion Bryan Danielson and Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada. Elsewhere, Ricochet will challenge Will Ospreay for the International Title.
