Tony Khan In Paris For Warner Brothers Discovery AEW Television Rights Talks

Tony Khan is in Paris for the Olympics, but he has other things on his mind outside the 2024 games. Tony is meeting with some big names from Warner Brothers Discovery, because his company needs a network to air their show.

AEW and WBD’s exclusive rights window has closed. Reports suggested that Tony Khan and David Zaslav are scheduled to meet in Paris during the Olympics, with sources from both sides confirming the meeting. There have been ongoing discussions about synergy, co-promotion, and future plans.

Now, Tony Khan has tweeted out from Paris. He stated that he is not only grateful to be there, but he also thanked TNA and TBS for a great time during his first visit to Paris.

“It’s my first time ever in Paris! I’m grateful to be here, thank you @wbd @TNTdrama @TBSNetwork ! A great weekend of wrestling kicks off in Timecop Territory TONIGHT: Friday Night #AEWRampage on TNT 10pm ET/9pm CT + Saturday Night #AEWCollision TOMORROW at 5pm ET/4pm CT/5pm PT!”

It remains to be seen what agreements will be made, and there is speculation about potentially packaging AEW and ROH together, possibly including MAX in the deal.

All Elite Wrestling and Warner Bros Discovery have partnered since AEW’s inception, are currently negotiating a new television deal. To strengthen their position, AEW has been enhancing its recent television shows and has now reached a significant milestone in the discussions. Although the exclusive negotiating window between the two companies recently closed, discussions have continued over the past week.
