Warner Bros. Discovery CCO Comments On AEW’s Future

Three years ago AEW Dynamite launched on TNT and the company kicked off their business relationship with Warner Bros. Since then Warner Bros. has gone through some major changes as it is now known as Warner Bros. Discovery following a big merger, but it sounds like AEW is still in the company’s good graces.

Kathleen Finch, Warner Bros. Discovery US Networks Group chair and chief content officer recently spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about AEW’s future while noting that the company is currently looking to expand AEW programming.

“We really play in the sports space. One of the things that we’re doing around sports is creating shoulder programming to hold onto those fans. AEW [All Elite Wrestling] pulls huge numbers, so we are working with the wrestling team to figure out what new kind of content can we build that’s not in a wrestling ring.”

It’s not exactly clear what type of content could be produced, but during Cody Rhodes’ run with the company he and Brandi starred in a reality show called Rhodes To The Top, so it will be interesting to see if AEW and WBD decide to move forward with a similar show in the future.
