Tony Khan Explains TSN Extension for AEW Dynamite and Collision’s Canadian Move

AEW has experienced major changes recently, with one of the biggest being the move of Collision to the newly rebranded USA Network in Canada starting January 1, 2025. In response to this shift, Tony Khan confirmed that AEW has signed an extension for Dynamite on TSN in Canada, ensuring the continued presence of the show on the network.

While speaking during the AEW Worlds End media call, John Pollock asked Tony Khan about Collision moving to the soon-to-be-rebranded USA Network in Canada and if it was related to a new deal. Khan confirmed that AEW had productive negotiations in Canada and announced an extension with Dynamite on TSN.

Khan pointed out AEW’s strong performance in Canada, often ranking as the top wrestling show in key demographics. While they considered offers from other companies for Dynamite, Khan explained that they decided to stick with TSN because of a strong rights increase and favorable terms, despite receiving a highly appealing offer from another source.

It was also speculated that AEW simply failed to offer a proper deal in order to secure a partnership with Sportsnet. Nonetheless, with Collision moving to the USA Network and Dynamite staying on TSN, AEW is working to grow its audience in Canada and other countries. This deal shows that AEW wants to keep strong relationships with important TV networks as it expands.
