“Starting in January, we have the biggest opportunity in the history of AEW since we first launched on TNT and TBS. This is so huge for us to be streaming on Max and simulcast. We’re going to keep the great homes we have on cable. We get to stay on TBS every Wednesday, stay on TNT every Saturday. These are staples of the cable industry and staples of pro wrestling, TBS and TNT. It’s great to be on the top cable channels, but so much is moving towards streaming. It’s important to have a foothold in cable, which is still a huge platform, but streaming has all the momentum. Streaming is the future and Max is the best in class streaming platform.”

“That’s where we want AEW to be. It’s been the goal for years. I’ve talked about it for years. It’s the dream come true.”

“And now for all the cord cutters and the people that use Max, it’s going to be great to have AEW live streaming Wednesday and Saturday every week.”

“At the same time, we’re on TBS and TNT. It gives the fans multiple options to watch the show, and it definitely is going to expand our audience by a lot.”

We would need to know if max bought the old ppv rights or just the rights to air the TV show archive. Either way i doubt old ppvs will be available prior to the January launch , as awesome as that would be

That's a presumptious response, I'd take rolling as in adding more n more.

I’m glad this will be on Max by the way, makes it easier for me on the first episode to watch Dynamite because I can pull it up on my phone, cause Georgia has a College Football Playoff game that night.

Same. Pretty much means even if I have something else to do I can check Dynamite out

Yeah if something is on streaming and regular TV and I have the streaming option I pick it every time bc I don't have 4k YouTube TV so it's always higher quality
