Tony Khan doesn’t seem to be sweating all of these WWE-WBD reports that have popped up online this week.
All Elite Wrestling owner Tony Khan recently participated in the Ring of Honor Final Battle Media Scrum. When asked about the online reports of WWE speaking to Warner Bros Discovery and what that means for AEW and ROH, Khan seemed unphased by the question, smiling through most of it before giving a very optimistic answer about the future of his company with WBD.
“Ring of Honor, we haven’t had recently as many, but we’ve had really good conversations about AEW, even in recent days,” Tony Khan said. “I’ve had really good talks with Warner Brothers Discovery. We’ve been with them for several years. It’s a really exciting time for AEW. We’re performing incredibly well for Warners Brothers Discovery and have a very strong relationship.
Tony Khan believes everyone is doing their due diligence
“With media rights and all the things coming up, everyone has to do their due diligence. It’s just part of the TV business. Where we stand, we stand in a position for AEW to have a huge growth year in 2024. There are a lot of really exciting things happening that I know Warner Brothers is excited about, that we’ve talked about.
“It’s a great relationship, and it’s going very, very well for us, and part of the TV business, for both sides, is doing their due diligence, and that’s just a part of sports and television, really. Being part of the NFL and Premier League, I’ve seen that process play out with certainly different TV networks looking at different sports and the sports looking at different TV networks. I’ve been part of this multiple times in the NFL.” [H/T: Fightful]
