AEW Reportedly Hasn’t Signed A TV Deal

Jan 8, 2019 - by James Walsh

In the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio (via Wrestlezone), Dave Meltzer spoke more about today’s AEW Double or Nothing rally and said that a TV deal announcement was unlikely.

He said: “I don’t think its going to be announced. The last I checked there was no TV deal signed. There are negotiations going on, but I say this a million times, a lot of people have a lot of negotiations. When it’s done it’s done and we’ll see. It’s far along enough that every one is confident of it, it’s far enough along that the Khan family signed all these guys to big deals. I mean they’re big deals and the key guys, I think The Young Bucks for sure, Cody, not everyone, very few, but those guys are under five-year contracts. I would be surprised if a TV deal is announced, I don’t think it’s done yet. I think that they’re confident there will be a TV deal in some form, but it’s the television business. We’ll see.”

– Finally, he also spoke about the Double or Nothing event itself, which he says will likely happen in Las Vegas. He said: “All In 2, Double or Nothing, they will make that announcement, I’m almost certain, this has been talked about, it’s likely Las Vegas. Date and that will probably be announced. There’s gonna most likely, if not for sure, be a Starrcast that Conrad Thompson’s gonna run in association and that will probably be announced as well.“
