Monday Night Raw is searching for a new home and recently it’s been rumored that CM Punk’s return to WWE may have opened the door for Raw to potentially jump to a network owned by Warner Bros. Discovery.
PWInsider is now reporting that on Monday morning TKO’s Marc Shapiro, Triple H and Nick Khan met with Warner Bros. Discovery executive Bruce Campbell to discuss potentially moving Monday Night Raw to the WBD family. The meeting reportedly took place at Warner Bros. Discovery headquarters in New York City.
It’s being said that Triple H, Shapiro and Khan met with Bruce Campbell for several hours and that part of the meeting took place in a conference room that is usually reserved for David Zaslav.
If a deal is made between Warner Bros. Discovery and WWE it could have a major impact on the industry as AEW programming currently airs on WBD’s TNT and TBS. The belief is that AEW’s current agreement with WBD runs through the end of the 2024 TV season. During the ROH Final Battle media call Tony Khan noted that he met with WBD on 12/12 which would have been after the meeting WBD had with WWE.
WWE is looking for a major increase regarding Raw’s TV rights and Triple H and Nick Khan were in Los Angeles several weeks ago meeting with potential partners. WBD is believed to be one of the potential partners they met with and Amazon was also discussed internally at WWE. Sources at WWE have said that there are other suitors as well.
Stay tuned for more updates as they become available.
