AEW reportedly among top streamed live sports events on Max
While media and fans try to dissect WWE Raw on Netflix viewership numbers, there has been no update from either AEW or WBD on how Dynamite or Collision has been performing on Max since the shows began simulcasting on January 1st.
That is, until now.
Fightful Select reported Friday that according to WBD sources, AEW “has been among the top streamed live sports events” since the simulcast kicked off this month. The report didn’t clarify whether that was a cumulative number or on a weekly basis.
The Max service currently offers live NBA, NHL, and the new women’s basketball Unrivaled league.
AEW Dynamite kicked off the Max simulcast era on January 1st with every subsequent Dynamite (TBS) and Collision (TNT) available both live and on-demand. The entire 2019 run of Dynamite and pay-per-views are also available for subscribers.
AEW and WBD signed a new media rights deal in the fall of 2024 with three years guaranteed and WBD holding the rights to extend for a fourth. Annual values have been reported anywhere from $150 million to $185 million, but were never formally announced by either side.
