Khan's company has a lot of moving parts to consider both in a positive and potentially negative light, whether it be the scrutiny over recent TV ratings when compared to previous years, the ongoing media rights saga as AEW and Warner Brothers Discovery's broadcast deal nears expiry, or the litany of major talent signed to the promotion in recent months. The company is four pay-per-views deep, heading into its biggest of the year with All In at Wembley Stadium in August, with a further four more to go after that. So there is plenty to be excited about in terms of programming, even if larger questions loom over the company on a corporate side of things. Chief of which is the aforementioned media rights negotiations, crucial in determining both the value of the company at present as well as where it airs, which are reportedly ongoing with a view to get a deal closed sooner rather than later.
AEW recently announced an upcoming collaboration with WBD IPs, Adult Swim and DC Comics, which at least gives the impression that both sides are confident of remaining partners moving forward even if a deal is yet to be signed.
