And, in the most recent edition of the Wrestling Observer RadioDave Meltzer revealed that WWE will continue to counterprogram the AEW events, since WWE Plan is to establish its great ally, TNA Wrestlingas the second largest company in the professional wrestling industry. These were his interesting words:
«WWE fears that AEW will receive a great increase in its current television agreement in the United States with Warner Bros. Discovery when the contract is potentially renewed in 2027 or 2028, which would make AEW 'incredibly profitable'.
«That is certainly the history that circulates, which wanted to go from December 13 to December 27 the retirement event of John Cena. Given all the actions and everything that has been done, of course they want to do it. It is not the only thing, there is much more that will probably come to light in the coming months in terms of different issues. WWE really wants TNA to become the other promotion because they can control TNA.
«This is a total siege. They just want to get this guy, Tony Khan, from the game and know that if the figures remain good, he will get a renewal for a much higher number, as they did. He is already very profitable, that figure will make it incredibly profitable, and they can never get rid of him or anything similar. So they feel they need to make sure this is the last contract. “
«All Elite Wrestling renewed its media rights agreement in the United States with Warner Bros. Discovery in 2024, entering into force at the beginning of 2025. The current television contract has a value of 555 million dollars until the end of 2027, and there is an option for a fourth year that would provide AEW with a substantial monetary increase. The current agreement means that AEW will be a profitable organization from 2025 ″.
