Out Of Their Hands: WarnerBrothers/Discovery Merger Could Be Bad News For AEW

The important part. AEW has been around for a few years now, with most of its focus being built around the weekly Dynamite series. The show has built a consistent audience that rarely goes below a certain level, which is quite the selling point for the company. However, there are some forces at work that could cause AEW some problems and there is nothing they can do about it.

AEW’s parent company WarnerMedia and Discovery have recently merged, meaning that AEW has a new boss. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, Discovery is making all kinds of budget cuts, which could be a problem when AEW’s next television deal is negotiated next year. This could mean that AEW’s new deal could be worth significantly less, or that the company could have to move elsewhere, though nothing will be known for sure until next year.

Opinion: This merger is one of the biggest stories in all of entertainment at the moment and things are starting to look shaky for the future of some of these properties. That could mean some very bad things for AEW, as Discovery might not be nearly as interested in them as WarnerMedia was. Then again, they draw good numbers for the network and if that is the case going forward, the show might be safe. It is going to be an interesting period and I’m not sure where it is going to go.

What does this mean for AEW? Where will their next deal be? Let us know in the comments below.
