Tony Khan addresses the upcoming split of Warner Bros. Discovery in 2026.
All Elite Wrestling President recently spoke with Yahoo Finance. When asked how the upcoming Warner Bros. Discovery split affects the company’s current media rights deal, Khan said they have great relationships on both sides of the upcoming split.
“That’s a great question. I know that AEW, for both sides of where Warner Bros. is going, we have great relationships with everybody at the top,” Tony Khan said. “Both on Global Networks and Streaming & Studios. Mr. Zaslav himself put our deal together. Gunnar (Wiedenfels), who will be running Global Networks, also was very involved in our deal as the CFO.
“The two of them and Bruce Campbell really negotiated this deal with AEW and myself and my team. So, on both sides, we’ve got the great relationships and both sides that really love AEW and have come to be great partners with AEW.
“So, for us, it’s been a big year in 2025 and now we’re kind of on both sides of that equation. We are a big part of TBS and TNT, the crown jewels of the Global Network side and then we’re also a huge — now — part of Streaming & Studios with AEW streaming every week so it’s exciting.” [H/T: Fightful]
