Tony Khan reports good talks with David Ellison on AEW's future

[MegaMike16]

Tony Khan says AEW's future looks bright under its new media owners. Fightful's Jeremy Lambert reports that Khan told the WrestleDream post show press conference he has had a few great conversations with David Ellison of Skydance. Khan said Ellison is very excited to be partnering with AEW

The context is the merger of Warner Bros and Paramount under Ellison's Skydance. AEW airs on TBS, TNT and HBO Max, so the change of ownership matters a great deal. Khan said the deal brings both companies under the same roof, with more exciting opportunities and more resources

Khan added that Ellison wants to keep TBS, TNT and Warner Bros streaming together. That should reassure fans who worried that AEW's television home might be broken up or sidelined after the merger

Khan also praised Ellison's work with the NFL, mentioned that they are a similar age, and said Ellison is a wrestling fan. He pointed to AEW's 2024 rights renewal with Warner Bros Discovery as a foundation for the relationship going forward

Media rights are everything for wrestling companies, so this is important news. A supportive owner with deep pockets could help AEW grow. Fans will want to see that support turn into bigger budgets and more exposure

Is the Skydance merger good news for AEW? And what would you want AEW to do with more resources?
