Tony Khan Reacts to Reports on AEW’s Future TV Deal

 


AEW President Tony Khan has addressed recent reports suggesting that WWE higher‑ups believe AEW may struggle to secure a new television deal with Warner Bros. Discovery or Paramount once the current agreement ends in 2027.

Speaking candidly, Khan admitted he had seen the speculation but stressed that it was just that — speculation.

“I saw something today, and it’s just a report. I don’t know if this is true. It could be true, but a lot of reports have substance to them,” Khan said.

AEW’s partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery has been central to its growth, with Dynamite and Collision airing weekly on the network. While WWE insiders may question AEW’s long‑term prospects, Khan emphasized that the company continues to thrive and expand its reach.

The comments come at a time when media rights negotiations are a hot topic across wrestling, with both WWE and AEW looking to secure lucrative deals that will shape the industry’s future.

Stephanie Vaquer’s Setback: What’s Next for the Former Champion?

  Stephanie Vaquer’s WrestleMania debut was supposed to be the start of something big. Instead, it turned into a nightmare. In short order, she lost her WWE Women’s World Championship to Liv Morgan, and things only spiraled further when Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez attacked her backstage on Raw . That segment wasn’t just storyline chaos — it was WWE’s way of writing Vaquer off TV due to a legitimate injury. The Injury Timeline Reports confirm Vaquer will be out “for the foreseeable future.” Some sources cautiously suggested she might return by SummerSlam, while others speculated she could be back in as little as six weeks. But even the optimistic timeline was described as speculative, with no guarantees. A Rare Absence This marks the first time Vaquer has missed action since signing with WWE in 2024.
