>Paramount Skydance reportedly preparing takeover bid for Warner Bros DiscoveryLast month there were rumors that WBD would be purchased by Paramount Skydance, the entity ran by Larry Ellison's son David. They have been in the news recently since Ellison just bought and took over TikTok, and then also just purchased CBS and put Bari Weiss in charge of their news division. It seems there is a consolidation of US media taking place.How do we think this will affect AEW?
Here's the WBD stock price at the start of September after the news broke that Larry Ellison's company would be looking to acquire WBD.
>>19003515Honestly? It's sad that AEW fans will say this is the reason that AEW is getting cancelled and not the real reason which is low ratings.
>>19003526I don't think there is any evidence at all that AEW will be cancelled and the trend in ratings you are pointing to that you think is exclusive to AEW actually affects all of cable, not just AEW.
>>19003532There's no logical reason to believe AEW won't be canceled. Its ratings have become completely untenable(Collision just did a fucking 0.03). Any argument that it can stay on the air with ratings like this is based on emotions and wishful thinking.
>>19003566>There's no logical reason to believe AEW won't be canceledBased on their track record of being renewed and getting new deals. Your argument rests on pretending that cable decline only exists for AEW and doesn't exist for other shows, but it does, including WWE, and you refuse to acknowledge that.
>>19003515isn't UFC going on Paramount?upon looking it up, yes, 7 years starting in 2026UHHHH AEWXISTERS I DON'T FEEL SO GOOD
