AEW commentator Tony Schiavone was a recent guest on the “What Happened When” podcast and commented on the recent merger between WarnerMedia and Discovery and believing it could lead to a streaming service for AEW. He said,
“From the people I’ve talked with, no [concerns with the merger]. For me on the surface, yes, because I know what happened before. But I think we have a viable enough product that if Discovery says, ‘We don’t [want] wrestling’, we could end up somewhere else. The Khans are pretty plugged in. That’s what’s different about this era is that if Time Warner/Discovery doesn’t want us, we still have a business. I think there’s always some concern, but we’ve built up a very good relationship with Warner Media. If this merger comes, and as we’ve been reading, they’ve been clearing out a lot of people, it seems to me they are really big into streaming services. What I hope this means is that we are finally going to have a streaming service. In other words, we are finally going to have our own network where we can show our old shows.“
