-- AEW announced a massive new media rights deal with Warner Bros Discovery that includes continuing broadcasting Dynamite and Collision on TBS and TNT for the next few years. Notably the announcement left out mentioning the future of AEW's Rampage and Battle of the Belts specials, however, on the latest Wrestling Observer Radio, an update on the futures of those programs was provided.
-- According to what was said, neither show is included in the new media rights deal and as a result, it's possible that AEW could potentially shop them both around to other networks outside of WBD. The future of Rampage though is completely up in the air with Dave Meltzer mentioning that it may only remain on air for a couple more weeks or possibly last until the end of the year.
-- There's also the talk of AEW launching a new show - titled Shockwave - which the promotion could choose to pitch to other broadcasters as well. Another option is that AEW could choose to completely revamp either Rampage or Battle of the Belts with Meltzer noting that there are "two sets of talks out there" but he isn't sure if an announcement out of either them is imminent.
-- Another area of focus for AEW in 2025 is international growth and there is a great opportunity for the company with WWE moving their programming internationally to Netflix. This would open up those networks who would lose WWE programming to look towards bringing on AEW. One such deal has already happened with AEW announcing a partnership with Fox Sports Mexico, which is going to lose WWE content to Netflix.
AEW recently announced a new partnership with Fox Sports Mexico. The deal kicked off with the airing of WrestleDream and comes as WWE programming currently on the network prepares to move to Netflix in January. Meltzer stated that the deal with Fox Sports Mexico will see more matches like two-out-of-three falls or specific matches that cater to a Mexican audience.
