Tony Khan hopes AEW can make some new fans when they go to Max.
In October, AEW officially signed a multi-year deal with Warner Brothers Discovery. As part of the deal, AEW Dynamite and AEW Collision will simulcast on the Max streaming service, and AEW pay-per-views will be available on Max later in 2025.
Speaking with Case Lowe from Brian & Kenzie on Q101, Tony Khan discussed AEW's viewership and looked forward to their debut on Max.
“It was great to be able to into November with Full Gear, this event that fans love every year, get fans excited, play the November Rain video and get people back into that groove. So for us, I do think it’s important to look at how the universe changes. Things will change again next year because a lot of the audience will be exposed to AEW for the first time, there’s people that don’t have cable or satellite anymore, and they mostly have cut the cord, and they stream, and having AEW live on Max, it’s gonna open so many new fans up to the experience for the first time ever. We’ll be available in almost twice as many homes as we are now starting in January. It’s pretty amazing. It’s gonna be a really exciting time. I hope we can make some new wrestling fans and new AEW fans when AEW goes to Max," Khan said.
During the interview, Khan commented on AEW potentially coming to Mexico. Check out his comments here.
