Truth Behind Story About AEW & FOX’s Current Television Discussions

AEW’s television deal with Warner Bros Discovery has yet to be renewed, sparking several rumors. While fans eagerly await an announcement, it’s clear that the big news won’t be coming from FOX.

There had been speculation about a potential AEW and FOX collaboration, especially after FOX lost WWE programming when SmackDown moved back to the USA Network. Although this opened up some possibilities, it appears that the story was not entirely accurate.

During Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer addressed the rumors regarding AEW and FOX. He confirmed that no deal exists between the two companies, and no talks are currently underway.

“There is no FOX deal. There are talks. There is no deal.”
