Confirmation On AEW’s TV Deal Following Introduction Of Collision

AEW

AEW is set to officially launch it’s Collision show on June 17, which will be the third piece AEW programming to air on Warner Bros Discovery.

Ahead of the announcement of AEW Collision at the Warner Bros Upfronts, rumours had emerged that the company had reached a new TV rights deal with WBD.

No new deal for AEW had been announced at the Upfronts, and we now have some clarification on their TV deal.

In an update from today’s AEW Double or Nothing media call, Tony Khan was asked by Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics about the deal, and how the inclusion of Collision could affect it.

Khan confirmed that the length of the company’s deal with WBD remains the same, and that Collision has been added to the company’s current deal with WBD, which expires in either 2023 or 2024.

Khan did not mention whether or not the addition of Collision to the deal means more payment for the company, which had previously been reported by Fightful.

The card for the AEW Double Or Nothing event on Sunday, May 28 is as follows:

AEW World Championship – MJF (c) vs. Darby Allin vs. Jack Perry vs. Sammy Guevara

TNT Championship Ladder Match – Wardlow (c) vs. Christian Cage

AEW Women’s World Championship – Jamie Hayter (c) vs. Toni Storm

AEW World Tag Team Championship (Special Guest Referee Mark Briscoe) – FTR (c) vs. Jay Lethal & Jeff Jarrett

Anarchy in the Arena – Adam Page, Kenny Omega & Young Bucks vs. Bryan Danielson, Claudio Castagnoli, Jon Moxley & Wheeler Yuta

Unsanctioned Match (Special Enforcer Sabu) – Adam Cole vs. Chris Jericho

Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn & Ethan Page vs. HOOK, Jeff Hardy & Matt Hardy

International Championship Blackjack Battle Royal – Orange Cassidy (c) vs. 20 TBA

TBS Championship – Jade Cargill (c) vs. Taya Valkyrie

On the AEW media call, I asked Tony Khan if the introduction of Collision means Rampage and Dynamite have been renewed.

He says "the length of the deal is the same", which I take to mean Collision is an added show under the same current term, expiring in either 2023 or 2024.
