Tony Khan Having Complex Discussions With WarnerMedia For AEW Streaming Service

AEW fans have been waiting since day one for the company to launch a streaming service. The recent acquisition of Ring of Honor added decades to their limited library. Since AEW has only existed since 2019, starting a streaming service would be a tough sell because there was so little content.

The addition of the early careers of most of pro wrestling’s current top stars was a step in the right direction. Many fans have speculated that AEW will ultimately end up streaming on a WarnerMedia-owned service such as HBO Max. WarnerMedia owns TBS and TNT, where AEW finds its current television home.

Tony Khan recently appeared on Strong Style Live. There, the AEW boss talked about the acquisition of Ring of Honor and how discussions are going about a streaming platform. Khan said he is having a lot of complex discussions with WarnerMedia about where AEW’s library will eventually wind up.

“I don’t have an update on where that content will live exactly yet, but I know that eventually, we’ll get it figured out. We’re talking to WarnerMedia all the time and these are very complex and important conversations to have. But I think everybody’s aligned and wants to do the same thing, which is, make the fans happy and give the fans access to the great wrestling they want to watch.”

AEW recently trademarked the phrase “Watch Your Wrestling.” It is one of Khan’s favorite responses when asked about the competition between WWE and AEW. Khan could be planning to use the phrase to promote or even name the AEW streaming service.

Time will tell where the AEW and ROH libraries end up. Fans have been waiting a long time to get their hands on all that footage in one place. Tony Khan wants to make sure he gets the right deal before committing to anything.
