[Dave Meltzer] The AEW/WBD deal will begin in January 2025 and is worth $555m over three years ($185m per year). There is an option for a 4th year. AEW will be very profitable with the new deal even before they get a TV deal for Shockwave.​

He says he thinks it bc of how Tony Khan has answered when asked a couple times, not sure if anyone is pushing it on him. But someone def pushed it to the sports business journal

I was reading the PPV's are slightly discounted now.

The original report that broke that news has been updated with the amount those pesky dirt sheets said was actually true :slip:

In regards to the Max simulcasting, Meltzer is saying he THINKS (hasn't been for sure confirmed) that they will have regular commercials as a concession for having the option for the cable companies

Triller internationally isn't beholden to those masters like Max and AEW are in the US so I think he's probably right too sadly, makes too much sense to me

This is a tad unrelated but rare hard data of AEW finances, but in a recent filing of the Kevin Kelly/The Boys lawsuit it was revealed that over the past two years AEW wrestlers were paid $60M.

So we can reasonably assume it's higher than that average now with the additions this year's but even if it's like $75M thats so much they should be able to afford to spend on other things hopefully lol
