Right from the start, AEW has been working with what was called WarnerMedia until its merger. The company is now known as Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) and it seems that new information regarding the longevity of this partnership has come to light.

All Elite Wrestling worked with WBD through their first pay-per-views in their first year of operation and then signed a contract extension for "Dynamite" after that which would run until 2023. Since then, they've added several shows, including Friday Night Rampage and Saturday Night Collision.

According to Fightful Select, Warner Bros. Discovery has said that it is happy with the partnership with All Elite Wrestling, and that the promotion has been very flexible about content and changes to their shows.

WBD has also been pushing for television rights extension talks, and an announcement could be made in the coming months, with sources saying that this would be a "huge money increase for AEW, by the way things are looking now.” They've also mentioned that it'll be a major part of broadcasting AEW's upcoming event, All In.


What is AEW and Warner Bros. Discovery's latest project, Collision?

Last month saw the debut show of All Elite Wrestling's third weekly show, Collision, which airs on Saturday nights. This is the show that the promotion and its network partner Warner Bros. Discovery had been preparing for the past months. The show's deal reportedly reached a whopping one million dollars and is to feature a great pool of talent.

The show has already featured the return of several stars, including Miro, Andrade El Idolo, and CM Punk. Collision is on tour and is currently on its Canada leg, which began in Toronto. It will be in Calgary this week.

The show has been putting out great matches for the past few weeks. According to WBD, Collision has been a success so far.

With the promotion set for bigger, better changes, as a new deal with WBD is being made, fans can expect the same level of great content or even better.
