Tony Khan Comments On Netflix Being Set To Acquire WBD, Says He Only Has Great Things To Say About Netflix And WBD

On Friday morning, it was announced that Netflix was set to acquire Warner Brothers Discovery (WBD) for a Total Enterprise Value of $82.7 Billion.

While it is unclear how, or if, this acquisition, whenever it becomes official, will affect the wrestling world, Netflix is a partner of WWE, and WBD is an AEW partner.

Speaking at the ROH Final Battle press conference, AEW President Tony Khan was asked about the acquisition.

“First of all, it’s early to comment on anything that’s pending. Without getting into anything that has yet to be determined, I just want to say we have a great partnership with Warner Brothers Discovery and it will continue for many years to come. We have years left on our remaining agreement with TBS and HBO Max. I’m really proud of what we’ve built and I think it’s going to be for a long time to come. It’s going to be like this with Warner Brothers Discovery before anything is settled out. I’m very excited for the future. I think we have great partnerships. What I can say, from the things that are public knowledge, all of the bidders on Warner Brothers Discovery are media partners of the National Football League and great media partners of ours. Everybody who has been in the running for this is somebody we work with on the NFL, so I have a lot of respect for all of them. We work closely with all three bidders in the mix and we’ll see what happens. I have only positive things to say about Netflix and Warner Brothers Discovery. I can tell you for sure, at least until the very end of 2027, going into 2028, we’re going to be here for years and years to come, over two more years with AEW on TBS, TNT, and HBO Max. I’m very excited about it,” said Tony.
