AEW is reportedly thinking about a streaming service, which will most likely be through Warner Bros Discovery. Bloomberg did a thorough presentation on Tony Khan and AEW, including the short history of the company and the challenge AEW have put up against WWE.
In the article it is written, “In March, Khan acquired the small but respected pro wrestling company Ring of Honor from Sinclair Broadcast Group Inc. for an undisclosed sum, adding a new crop of wrestlers, some intellectual property and an extensive video library. AEW is also considering starting a streaming service, likely through a deal with its broadcast partner, Warner Bros. Discovery Inc., according to a person familiar with management’s thinking, who asked not to be named. Last year, AEW broke $100 million in annual revenue for the first time, the person says.”

AEW currently has a Tv deal with Warner Bros Discovery as AEW Dynamite airs on Wednesdays on TBS, and AEW Rampage on TNT on Fridays. Also AEW Dark and Dark Elevation air on YouTube and PPV events air on traditional PPV, Bleacher Report Live and Fite TV.
This would be a huge move for AEW. WWE changed the landscape of how fans consume their weekly shows and PPVs since 2014 when they first launched the WWE Network, this also led them to sell the rights for the network to Peacock in 2021 for a whopping $1 billion. This could be a long way off for AEW, but it could be a big move.
