Warner Bros. Discovery continues to be happy with the performance of AEW.
AEW and WBD have shown plenty of synergy since the merger in April with multiple AEW events having WBD show branding. AEW ratings are often touted by WBD in press releases as well.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Kathleen Finch, Warner Bros. Discovery US Networks Group chair and chief content officer, discussed how TNT and TBS can maintain a male audience from night to night.
"We really play in the sports space. One of the things that we’re doing around sports is creating shoulder programming to hold onto those fans. AEW [All Elite Wrestling] pulls huge numbers, so we are working with the wrestling team to figure out what new kind of content can we build that’s not in a wrestling ring," she said.
AEW Dynamite airs Wednesdays on TBS while AEW Rampage airs Fridays on TNT. TNT previously aired "Rhodes To The Top," a relaity show starring Cody & Brandi Rhodes.
MJF recently comments that WBD is coming up with non-wrestling ideas for him. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
Fightful will have live coverage of AEW Dynamite beginning at 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday.
