Tony Khan: We’re Locked In With TNT, TBS, and HBO Max For Over Two More Years
Tony Khan comments on the future of AEW with WBD.
There has been uncertainty over the future of Warner Bros Discovery as the media giant has announced its intention to sell to Netflix.
Paramount has jumped in with a hostile takeover bid, though WBD has recommended its shareholders to reject the bid.
Speaking to Scott Fishman of TV Insider, Tony Khan was asked about the state of WBD.
“I think we have a lot of certainty and are very excited. 2025 is the most exciting year yet for AEW and our partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery was reimagined this year and will continue for years to come. We’re locked in with TNT, TBS, and HBO Max for over two more years. The future is bright for us for years to come. The person who is making the calls and always been a believer in AEW and continues to be is [President and CEO] David Zaslav. I just got a very nice holiday gift from him in fact that I will be utilizing in some fun ways in the weeks to come. The man who first asked me to launch AEW Collision and bring more wrestling back to TNT along with the great Dynamite on TBS, which is our flagship show. It’s the longest running primetime professional wrestling show in the history of TBS and TNT. Turner, in my opinion, has the richest collective history of professional wrestling with a tradition that goes back on TBS to 1971,” said Tony.
AEW signed a new media rights deal with WBD in 2024.
