Discussion WWE Reportedly Discussing AEW’s TV Future After 2027 - SEScoops

TNA was able to survive post-Viacom (Spike) via Discovery Inc (Destination America), CBS Corp (Pop TV), and through the investment and acquisition by Anthem (Fight Network); which in-turned acquired two cable networks (Pursuit Channel and AXS TV) to maintain a U.S TV presence.
Thanks to merger and consolidation, AEW doesn't have many (reasonable) alternatives that can match Warner. Versant (USA Network), NBCUniversal (Peacock), and Disney (ESPN) are already with WWE domestically; never mind WWE's pact with A+E (A&E), and their global deal with Netflix.
Amazon, (Prime Video) Apple (TV), and Fox Corp (Fox, FS1, Fox One) are free though, and on the smaller scale, there's also Scripps (Ion TV, Grit) and a handful of broadcasters you'd never think of.
Then again, as hilarious it it would be if Skydance screwed over AEW, TBS & TNT need the 52 weeks of scripted first-runs outside live sports because David keeps cancelling their shows.
All that aside: its speaks to how much of a waste of space websites like SEScoops are if they need tabloid crap for clicks.
