The AEW TV rights negotiations may be coming up, but they will not begin in 2023.
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that negotiations for a new rights deal will likely begin early next year.
It’s believed that WBD will pick up the option year for AEW, which would end in September 2024. While that will include a price increase, it’s not even close to the amount rumored last month, but will still be a substantial increase.
It is also reported that AEW Collision’s success will play a pivotal role in these negotiations, with a year window for AEW to make the show a successful venture.
Collision is scheduled to debut this Saturday in Chicago. We will have to wait and see if they will be able to make the brand a success in time for the new TV rights negotiations next year.
