As noted before, Warner Bros Discovery announced this past April that their shareholders had voted in approval of Paramount Skydance’s acquisition deal for the company. WBD is the current media broadcast partner of AEW.
A recent episode of Bloomberg TV’s The Close show featured AEW CEO Tony Khan as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Khan’s thoughts about the changes expected due WBD’s having new owners and Paramount’s business relationships with WWE’s parent company TKO Group.
“I am very excited about Paramount acquiring WB and Paramount and WB coming together. This is going to be great for AEW.”
In response to a question about if he thinks Paramount will stick by AEW post-merger, Khan stated “100%.”
Khan also gave his thoughts about his strong relationship with Paramount CEO David Ellison through their NFL ties.
“With the power of HBO Max and Paramount Plus together, it’s more buyers for our PPVs and more people watching the AEW shows. I think it will make TBS and TNT stronger cable channels with Paramount and David Ellison coming in.”
