What’s Really Happening With The AEW Library In New WBD Deal

The status of the AEW library looks to be clearer now following the company’s huge deal with Warner Brothers Discovery.

In recent weeks, All Elite Wrestling has reached a new media rights agreement with Warner Bros. Discovery. The deal is said to be for the next three years with the addition of a fourth option year that can be exercised by WBD.

As per the agreement, Dynamite and Collision will remain on TBS and TNT respectively. However, for the first time ever, AEW programming will stream live on MAX and will be available on-demand from January 2025. Pay-per-views will stream live on MAX beginning later in 2025 at a discounted rate for viewers.

But many fans have been asking if the full AEW library will end up on the streaming service and it looks like that will be the case – but not right away.

AEW Library Heading To MAX

Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer shed some light on the situation and noted the AEW library will be going up on MAX throughout 2025:

About the AEW deal and if the pay-per-view library will go up on MAX. The answer’s yes. It may not all be up immediately. All the AEW archives will be up on MAX next year. They go to MAX on January 1st, it’s not like all these archives will, all these episodes of Dynamite and Collision will be up on MAX.

They will be slowly rolled out as will the pay-per-views. But in time yes, the entire library will be on MAX. That’s one of the reasons they got $185 million a year, it’s not just – it is for new programming, Dynamite and Collision, but the entire library being on MAX is part of that deal.

Now the new deal with WBD has been signed, Tony Khan has set another huge goal for AEW to accomplish in 2025.
