New AEW TV Deal With WBD Reportedly Expected Soon Following Demise Of Dark, Elevation

Things are happening by the bunches in AEW right now. "AEW Dark" and "AEW Dark: Elevation" appear to be coming to an end, tickets are moving quickly for AEW All In at Wembley Stadium this August, and CM Punk is reportedly set to return to the promotion in June for an alleged new TV show, "AEW Collision."

And with "Collision" comes some more good news. Fightful Select is reporting that an altered version of AEW's current TV deal with Warner Brothers Discovery, or possibly even a new deal altogether, is expected to be announced sometime in May. No date was given, but it should be noted that Warner Brothers Discovery will hold its annual upfront from the Hulu Theater in Madison Square Garden on May 17, making that the likely date of any announcement.

No further details were revealed about what the new, or altered, deal between AEW and WBD would entail as far as years and money went. If the sides have indeed come to a new agreement, this would be the third deal AEW and WBD have come to terms on in AEW's four-year history.  AEW and WBD, then WarnerMedia, first came to terms in early 2019, leading to the launch of "AEW Dynamite" in October, and would later agree to a four-year, $175 million extension in January 2020, which included an agreement for AEW to launch a new TV show, which would become "AEW Rampage."

While fans will have to wait two weeks to see if a new agreement has been reached, they won't have to wait that long for the next episode of "Dynamite," which will air tonight at its usual time of 8 p.m. EST on TBS.
