AEW Library To Be Available On Max
Past AEW content to be on Max
Oct 3, 2024
Following months of anticipation, Warner Bros. Discovery and All Elite Wrestling officially announced their new TV deal. The new arrangement is reportedly a three-year deal with an option for a fourth year and is worth close to $185 million per year.
As part of the new contract, AEW Dynamite and Collision will air live on Max in addition to being broadcast on TBS and TNT respectively. AEW pay-per-views will also be available on Max at a discounted price later in 2025.
That isn't all, though, and WBD CEO of US Networks Kathleen Finch revealed to the Hollywood Reporter that AEW's library will be available on Max from 2025.
"The benefit now to WBD is to introduce this terrific event to a streaming audience, the Max audience, which may not have been exposed to AEW in any great way until now, starting in January, is going to have it every Wednesday and Saturday nights, as well as the library available to stream. So we are really excited about the growth opportunity and the excitement opportunity that the fandom can bring once we've got a new platform to expose AEW to," Finch said.
Fightful Select has reported the plan at the moment is for Max to have the full library for AEW Dynamite, Collision and Rampage. Should Rampage, which is set to be cancelled, move to another company the library would leave WBD.
