Tony Khan on AEW's deal with Warner Bros. Discovery

AEW signed a lucrative multi-year multimedia rights deal with Warner Bros. Discovery. The company has not revealed the exact financial terms of this partnership, however, it is rumored to be more than $150 million per year.

This is what Tony Khan had to say about the deal.

"It’s a really exciting opportunity for us to be trailblazers on such a massive platform. It’s really exciting for AEW to be the ones that get this opportunity. I think there’s so much great content on the platform, and I think we can bring something new to the greatest library of film and television in the world,'' Tony Khan said. [H/T: THR]

What the future holds for Khan and the Jacksonville-based company remains to be seen.
