Tony Khan: ‘AEW on TBS and TNT I think is here to stay’
Tony Khan isn’t being subtle about how negotiations are going between AEW & Warner Bros. Discovery.
At the end of Friday’s Collision and Rampage, Tony Khan appeared in front of the crowd after cameras stopped rolling. He hinted further that a new television deal between the two parties is coming.
“I feel pretty good to say that AEW on TBS and TNT I think is here to say,” he told the crowd in Chicago.
Khan has repeatedly talked about the negotiations in positive terms during media calls and other interviews as AEW’s current contract is due to expire at the end of the year. During the All Out media call on Thursday, Khan said that the deal is in the red zone and will be a “huge touchdown” for the company, which currently has Dynamite on TBS and Collision & Rampage on TNT. Khan also met with David Zaslav, the head of WBD, in Paris during the Olympic Games.
AEW is set to hold its second pay-per-view in the last three weeks, All Out, this Saturday in Chicago.
