Update on AEW PPV events potentially being featured on the MAX streaming service

Just prior to the 2024 AEW All Out PPV event, AEW President Tony Khan said the company was “on the 1 yard line at the most important time in our history.” Earlier this month, it was reported that AEW was believed to have a “done deal” with Warner Brothers Discovery for a media rights renewal.

In regards to rumors about AEW PPV events being available on MAX as part of the WBD deal, Andrew Zarian noted the following during the Mat Men Podcast podcast…

“They will be on MAX in January. They could do it sooner, but I do know that they are planning on January. I do know that pay-per-views are going to be on there. They don’t have an exclusivity on the pay-per-views, so it will also be available in other places. It’s like WWE is. You can still order those pay-per-views that are available on Peacock.” (quote courtesy of F4WOnline.com)

Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com also stated that “those close to the situation have confirmed MAX being part of the PPV package, although it’s not detailed yet as to what form this will take.”
