It has been reported that AEW’s forthcoming media rights deal is poised to exceed previous estimations.
In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer highlighted the escalating figures under consideration, indicating a substantial surge beyond the previously speculated $110 million per year. Meltzer stated:
The figures being talked about are said to be considerably more than the estimated $110 million per year, or slightly more, that would in theory take the company into profitable range. There is talk of figures being between 50 percent above and as much as nearly double the current number said to be already on the table. The latter figure in particular would open up the potential of tens of millions more annually for talent acquisitions and other expansions in the budget.
The prospect of AEW securing a deal that surpasses initial projections holds the promise of substantial resources for the company, paving the way for amplified talent acquisitions and broader budgetary expansions. This could potentially fuel AEW’s trajectory towards sustained profitability and provide a substantial boost to its operational capacity.
