Tony Khan wants AEW/ROH to be on Max

[Chris]

While there has still been no public-facing news on his content library finding a domestic home in North America, AEW head Tony Khan made it clear that he wants it to be in the WBD universe.

Among the topics covered in his interview with PWInsider, Khan told Mike Johnson it would be "my dream" for his entire catalog of AEW and Ring of Honor content to end up on WBD's Max streaming service.

"Right now, AEW All Access is available on Max, which is very cool, and hopefully, that is a step in the right direction getting our stuff streaming. We have a great library. All together with everything I own, it's thousands of hours of great wrestling. The AEW catalog has grown so much considering we bootstrapped and started this thing from scratch four years ago. I believe the streaming service will happen. As to where it is and what platform it is, that's something that I believe largely will be influenced by Warner Brothers," he said.

With the addition of AEW Collision earlier this summer, AEW content is now contractually exclusive to WBD properties in North America while AEW historical content can be seen on AEW Plus through FITE.

In talking about this month's All In at London's Wembley Stadium, Khan also continued his recent claims about AEW's dominance in the UK, saying that "our tv ratings make us by far the number one wrestling company across in the UK on television."

"(Being on ITV) puts our shows in front of the most eyeballs of any wrestling show in the UK where we are number one. Now, we're also the number one live event wrestling company with the success of AEW All In," he said.

WBD tossing shit left and right off Max......I wouldn't trust my show with them.

That would be pretty cool, would allow me to go back and watch episodes from the past and enjoy them again, and hopefully even ends up with like the PPVs being on it or something so I don't gotta be a leech surely if they expand on the amount of PPVs they got anymore.

Maybe ROH is better off where it's at

I'd really like to see AEW have something similar to WWE Network with live shows and classics. As a fan, only possible advantage to them having their own free standing service would be if it's cheaper. Otherwise, having it with Max would mean access to other programs (and ones better than Peacock).
