Warner Bros. Discovery and AEW To Ring In New Era Of
Wrestling On TNT, TBS & Max Starting Wednesday, January 1,
2025


All AEW Dynamite & AEW Collision Programming to Stream
Live and On Demand on Max

AEW Dynamite: Fight for the Fallen on TBS & Max at 8 p.m. ET
on New Year’s Day; AEW Collision: Charlotte on TNT & Max at
8 p.m. on Saturday, January 4


Warner Bros. Discovery and All Elite Wrestling (AEW) today
announced details about the start of their new multi-
platform media rights agreement that will provide fans with
the widest available access ever to AEW’s most popular
programming.

Starting Wednesday, January 1, 2025, WBD’s networks and
platforms will remain the exclusive home of AEW Dynamite
(Wednesdays on TBS) and AEW Collision (Saturdays on TNT),
and will also, for the first time, stream those programs
live for Max subscribers in the U.S.

WBD and AEW will ring in the new year, and the new
agreement, with AEW Dynamite: Fight for the Fallen on TBS &
Max at 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday, January 1, 2025 from
Asheville, North Carolina. Fans will witness the aftermath
of AEW’s World End in a special New Year’s Day event that
will benefit victims of Hurricane Helene, which severely
impacted the Asheville area in Sept. 2024.

On Saturday, January 4 at 8 p.m., TNT and Max keep the high-
flying action going with AEW Collision, emanating live from
Bojangles Coliseum in Charlotte, North Carolina.

All live AEW programming airing on WBD’s networks will also
be available to stream on Max and on demand after their live
broadcast. Additionally, AEW Dynamite, AEW Collision, AEW
Rampage and all AEW pay-per-view library content through the
end of 2024, representing more than 700 hours of AEW action,
will be made available on Max on a rolling basis. At launch,
all AEW Dynamite episodes and pay-per-views from the
company’s inaugural 2019 year will be available, as well as
more than two months of the most recent AEW programming that
aired across WBD’s networks (select episodes will be made
available shortly after launch).

As previously announced, AEW and WBD will also collaborate
to distribute AEW live pay-per-view events on Max, with all
marketing and promotions of those PPV events exclusively
centered on Max. AEW PPV distribution on Max will begin
later in 2025, with additional information and pricing to be
shared in the coming months.

The addition of AEW’s popular programming on Max adds to an
already robust slate of live programming available to U.S.
subscribers, including CNN Max — a 24/7 live news stream
featuring live news and programming, and in-depth reporting
of all of the biggest news each day from CNN’s global news
team; and, Max’s B/R Sports Add-on, featuring live coverage
of the NBA, NHL, and MLB regular season and postseason,
college basketball games including NCAA Men's Division I
Men’s Basketball Championship, US Men’s & Women’s National
Team soccer matches, select college football games from the
College Football Playoffs, world cycling events, and —
starting in 2025 — Unrivaled, NASCAR, grand slam tennis with
Roland-Garros, and more college sports including games from
the Big 12 and BIG EAST men’s and women’s college
basketball.
