AEW’s Plan to Move Archival Library to MAX Streaming Service

AEW opened its doors five years ago and has presented many shows. Even during the pandemic, Tony Khan’s company was able to deliver original programming every week. All of those shows need a platform, and AEW now has a home for its library.

Fans were pleased to learn that AEW finally finalized its deal with Warner Bros Discovery. This agreement will also involve a component of MAX, which will address its pay-per-view offerings. There will also be a space for the extensive AEW archive.

According to Sean Ross Sapp on Fightful Select, the current plan regarding the AEW library is to include the full libraries of Dynamite, Collision, and Rampage on MAX. If Rampage moves to another platform, the library going forward will not be available on WBD.

AEW also reportedly has a new Shockwave show coming to Fox. It is unclear where those shows will be stored, but AEW’s current three shows’ archives are expected to land on MAX.

As we’ve already noted, Rampage is expected to get the axe with this new media rights deal. The reasoning for that decision is solid, but all this also means that AEW Rampage’s entire library will likely be on MAX in full whenever that deal comes together.
