After the success of All In in 2018, All Elite Wrestling (AEW) went on to change the landscape of professional wrestling when it announced a deal with WarnerMedia that would air a weekly wrestling show on TNT called Dynamite.
AEW proved its success when its debut pay-per-view (PPV) Double or Nothing was a rousing success.
AEW now boasts multiple shows and hit premium events that have established the company as the top rival for WWE.
Now, the home of the elite is officially making the move to streaming.

According to Joe Otterson of Variety, AEW has officially signed a multi-year multimedia rights deal with Warner Bros. Discovery.
This means that Dynamite and Collision, which appear on TNT and TBS respectively, will now stream live on Max simultaneously beginning in January 2025.
Additionally, PPVs will also appear on Max later into 2025 at a discounted price compared to their normal cost.
“We are honored to announce the extension of our incredible partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery,” AEW CEO, GM, and head of creative Tony Khan said. “This extension continues the tradition of iconic wrestling events broadcast on TBS and TNT, while also establishing a new legacy for AEW through weekly live streams on Max for years to come.”
“We thank David Zaslav, Kathleen Finch, and everyone at WBD for their tireless support of All Elite Wrestling since its inception, as well as the AEW fans, talent, and staff that helped make this possible.”

“Tony Khan and the entire AEW team have been incredible partners, and we are thrilled to strike this expanded agreement to deliver amazing new AEW content and stories to TNT and TBS, as well as bring the thrilling live action to Max for the first time,” Kathleen Finch, chairman and CEO of US Networks for Warner Bros. Discovery said.
“We are focused on creating fresh and authentic experiences for AEW’s passionate and engaged fanbase while also introducing them to our growing lineup of high-action sports and entertainment at TNT and beyond.”
“I was there when Tony Khan first shared his vision for creating a media and live entertainment company that would disrupt the wrestling industry,” founding partner of Activist Artists Management Bernie Cahill said. “This WBD renewal is a resounding validation of Tony’s vision and leadership – making AEW a unicorn in terms of enterprise value in the media and live entertainment space.”
