AEW Dynamite debuted back in October 2019 and since then the company has worked hard to provide an alternate product to what fans see in WWE. The company eventually changed its initial goal and is now working on expanding in numerous key areas. WWE also knew what AEW was up to recently.

The past month has been quite a significant time for AEW as a whole. Firstly, AEW President Tony Khan purchased the entirety of Ring Of Honor, which was seen as a huge move.

In addition to that, AEW is now in a working partnership with DDT Pro Wrestling. Andrew Zarian took to Twitter and stated that WWE knew AEW was trying to buy footage from other pro wrestling companies.

When I spoke to someone at WWE two weeks ago I was told that AEW was looking to secure footage rights from an international Pro Wrestling Promotion. This would be a great start at building a library of content for a strong streaming platform.

AEW is certainly building towards having its own streaming library in the future. Now it remains to be seen when the company will officially announce a streaming platform for fans.
