Tony Khan: Discovery Sees How Important It Is To Wrestling Fans To Have Wrestling On TNT And TBS

Tony Khan is excited about the future of AEW following the Warner Brothers and Discovery merger. 

In April, WarnerMedia and Discovery completed a multi-billion dollar merger between the two companies, officially forming Warner Bros Discovery.

On Thursday, Tony Khan met with Warner Bros Discovery and feels very good about the future of AEW following the meeting. 

“That is a really exciting time for us and a really exciting thing. I went to LA and met with the new management of the company, headed out there, and it was the most exciting and exhilarating meeting I’ve had in my life and I’ve never felt better about the future of the company and more safe about what’s happening here. I feel really good about Warner Brothers Discovery, to have such strong management. Nancy Daniels, such a strong leader, she was really cool. I flew out to LA and back to meet Nancy Daniels, along with her team. It was some familiar faces and also new faces. It was really exciting. It was my first time at Discovery. What a great thing we have. This is for the future of everyone who works here, and the fans, it’s really important. Now, Discovery sees too how important it is to wrestling fans to have wrestling on TBS and TNT because it was gone for too long and now it’s back. It means a lot to a lot of people. We have such great management there and they asked such great questions. It was really encouraging. I know there are so many things we can partner on. I’m really grateful for that,” Khan said during the AEW Double or Nothing post-show media scrum. 

Khan previously revealed that Warner Bros Discovery will host a party for AEW following Dynamite at The Forum on Wednesday. You can find his full comments by clicking here.

Before the merger, it was revealed that HBO Max and Discovery+ would become one streaming service. Khan has said multiple times that he has talked with executives about finding a home for Ring of Honor, hoping to have a weekly TV for the promotion.
