AEW nears $170 million annual TV deal with Warner Bros. Discovery, expands to TruTV

AEW’s new TV rights deal with Warner Brothers Discovery is reportedly close to completion. The deal is expected to be finalized next week, spanning three years with an option for a fourth. AEW is set to earn approximately $170 million annually, with their programming airing twice a week across TNT, TBS, and TruTV.

The inclusion of TruTV in the deal has sparked speculation about AEW’s role in the network’s potential rebranding as a more sports-oriented channel. However, details remain unclear about whether TruTV will feature new AEW content, simulcast existing shows from TBS and TNT, or simply air replays. This development marks a significant expansion of AEW’s television presence and reinforces its growing position in the wrestling entertainment industry.
