Tony Khan says AEW plans ‘to do a variety of things’ with Max

A deal between AEW and Max may not only be for the promotion’s pay-per-views.

A report from Andrew Zarian over the weekend stated that AEW pay-per-views will be available on the WBD-owned streaming service in January 2025, or potentially even sooner. However, during a recent interview with WFAN, the AEW president said the relationship with Max could involve more than that.

“After the merger, because AEW had been really successful, we’re one of the companies (WBD) have really gotten behind and built and grown with. It’s awesome for us because as cable has changed there are a lot of possibilities in streaming,” Khan said.

When asked about AEW PPVs ending up on Max, Khan responded that it’s not just the pay-per-views that could end up there.

“The plan is to, I think, do a lot of things potentially with Max and that could involve a variety of things. But we have the shows on TBS and TNT and that’s how they’re available now but I think as far as Dynamite, Collision, Rampage, pay-per-views, everything’s on the table.”

“The pay-per-views, for sure, we’ve had great conversations about streaming. We’ve been doing it on Bleacher Report, but they are sunsetting Bleacher Report. From now on we’re going to be doing our pay-per-views on other apps.”

“You can get the pay-per-views other places for now but we’re working on some exciting announcements on where to get those and what’s to come with Max but I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I can promise you, I’m 100 percent confident that you’re going to have AEW on TBS and TNT for a long time to come.”

John Ourand of Puck Sports stated last week that a new media rights deal between AEW and WBD could be announced as soon as this week.
