Here is what will happen:
>Netflix will assess both RAW and AEW
>They will have to pick one or the other
>If they pick AEW, RAW will be bought out or sold
>If they pick RAW, AEW will be bought out or sold
>Because of antitrust laws they can’t have both
>but Netflix is on the hook for both
>NETFLIX NOW KNOWS THEY OVERSPENT FOR RAW
>so if they can’t sell AEW, they have to pay them the entirety of their contract
>meaning they will STILL have to fund AEW
>meaning watchAEW will be operating at a NET PROFIT right out of the gate
>and they get to KEEP ALL PPV REVENUES for themselves
>same with Discovery Global
>they HAVE to honor the TV contract or sell it off
>if no one picks it up, AEW pockets everything
>which means a MASSIVE financial surplus for watchAEW
>there will be yearly introduction subscriptions for $5 and discounted PPV FOR $10 for the first year
>undercutting ESPN KIKE service of 29.99 for SLOP like SURVIVOR SERIES
>there is zero downside to this for AEW
>ANY NEGATIVE ASPECT OF THIS DEAL LANDS ENTIRELY ON WWE
>this benefits AEW entirely in cord cutting form cable
>and if the federal government blocks the sale
>WBD will have to still PAY THE ENTIRETY OF THE CONTRACTS LOL
LMAO YOU DRONIE CLOWNS HAVE ZERO IDEA WHATS ABOUT TO GO DOWN

TKO IS CURRENTLY MELTING DOWN
>>
And now you know WHY HBO MAX didn’t release the numbers for AEW streaming…BECAUSE THEY WERE OUTPERFORMING RAW HAHAHAHA they literally used AEW as LEVERAGE for the sale

This is going to be the biggest backfire in the history of the business. Screencap this thread
>>
And here is the best part:
Netflix may actually sell off WWE to Disney to distance themselves from TKO, Logan Paul, and the Janelle Grant lawsuit. UFC will be under federal investigation for fixing fights, Logan Paul is going to lose the CryptoZoo lawsuit, and Vince McMahon may possibly lose the Grant lawsuit. Netflix is heavily considering moving RAW in case of an any antitrust issues. This is actually very very funny
>>
You dummy. Netflix didn't buy TNT And TBS. Netflix bought Max and streaming. The AEW TV contract has nothing to do with Netflix. What will AEW do without the "500,000" Maaaaaaax viewers?

Read the Sherman Act. Now that NETFLIX owns a portion of AEW, the SHERMAN ACT and the Copperweld doctrine becomes valid, meaning by LAW Netflix would have to break the contract with TKO and not AEW


HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

EAT SHIT DRONIES
>>
>>19424057
what are you even implying?
>>
>>19424082
If Netflix owns a portion of AEW (they do)
and is contracted to liscense RAW with no presumed ownership, then by law they would have to REMOVE all WWE programming, as it conspires to have anticompetitive effects on the market. Tony and Zaslav KNEW they were going to sell to Netflix so Tony took a sweetheart deal and sold just enough of the company to insure if they did get sold to Netflix, they would take RAWs spot. There is no way out of this.

netflix doesn't own a portion of aew

This lil autistic man just finessed WWE out of their Netflix deal. You are free to seethe as hard as you possibly can. Now you know why they hid the ownership groups, now you know why they hid the MAX numbers. This is a very, very funny way to fuck WWE over. This is almost on par with WWF buying WCW in 2001.
>>
>>19424128
they don't own anything yet, and even if it does go through they are only buying the streaming and movie production side.
>>
>>19424143
No, Netflix will absorb WBD. Remember, you guys said it yourself…Tony had to give up a bit of AEW for his TV deal, right? There is zero way around this. What makes it even better is NJPW can start the antitrust motion themselves.
>>
>>19424139
based tone
>>
>>19424170
Remember when they were all shitting on Tony for the amount they got in the TV deal? It wasn’t about the money, it was about HIDING WBDs stake in AEW. This madman just throat punched TKO in a big way. The only way to avoid this is if Netflix sells or buys out AEW…or dumps WWE.

Netflix is not going to pay out WWE $2,000,000,000+ instead of just dumping their $85 worth of AEW stock. Your cranium is full of worms to think this is actually an argument worth spamming and thinking you got one over.
>>
>>19423797
AEW is not going to Netflix. Anyone that thinks that is remotely a possibility is naive or flat out delusional. WWE always ensures exclusivity in their TV rights deals. That's the same reason NWA got removed from CW's streaming app when CW picked up NXT, or why ECW was cancelled from TNN when they picked up Raw. As long as WWE has a deal with Netflix, AEW will not be on Netflix. Anyone that thinks Netflix is suddenly going to break their deal with WWE early and pay them millions in penalties is also completely naive.
>>
>>19423881
Netflix can't just "sell" their TV deal to another streamer. That isn't how any of this works. This whole thread is just desperate coping and nonsense scenarios.

Companies dump properties after M&A all the time, you fucking dumb shit. It happens with grocery store chains, it happens with media deals, it happens all the time.

Just because Company A buys Company B it does not mean it is permanently stuck with every single property and must excise every other contract or agreement or license that conflicts with the company they just absorbed, they can sell off whatever pieces they want as soon as the deal closes.

Netflix isn't buying AEW's TV rights, you drooling retard. AEW's TV rights are with TBS, and Netflix is not buying WBD's cable networks (which include TBS and TNT). Like I said, you're just making up nonsense hypothetical scenarios that lead to your weird fantasy where Netflix cancels WWE in favor of AEW, which isn't going to happen.

It's over, I'm sorry Wheels.

>After acquiring Sprint, T-Mobile sold off Sprint's prepaid wireless businesses (Boost Mobile, Virgin Mobile) and a significant chunk of Sprint's 800 MHz spectrum to Dish Network, creating a fourth wireless competitor as a condition for regulatory approval, plus some legacy wireline assets to Cogent. The primary goal was to satisfy regulators by preventing a market with only three major carriers, ensuring Dish could build its own network.

Regulators will spend 12+ months overseeing this deal. If at any time they flag WWE-AEW dual rights, then Netflix will just line up a buyer to dump off those rights, or cancel AEW outright.

Netflix doesn’t have anything to do with the TV deal, they have to worry about the streaming simulcast. They can’t outright cancel it. Again, they have to buy it out or sell it. Meaning AEW is not cancelled LMAO

You are literally pants-on-head retarded if you think Netflix is indefinitely stuck simulcasting TBS/TNT. The moment MAX is no longer under the WBD umbrella, then MAX's obligation to simulcast TBS/TNT content goes out of the window.
>>
>>19425465
WBD owns Max, and now Netflix owns WBD. You are genuinely retarded. You are not smart. You have no brains. You got zero thinking ability. Capiche?
>>
>>19425474
WBD as-is is not worth $80 billion dollars. It's only worth $80 billion in the context of splitting off tens of billions of debt along with the unprofitable TV division, which is where the also unprofitable AEW's TV rights reside. Once MAX and Discovery are severed, there will be no obligation to simulcast TBS/TNT content. This will be done long before any Netflix/WBD deal is completed, AEW's streaming "rights" will not survive the acquisition.

I know you're doing your pretend to be retarded thing, but when companies are acquired like this, it allows them to escape many contracts with suppliers, licensors, unions, etc. In cases where they can't easily escape, let's say there's a 500 year deal in place, a court (if necessary) will step in and cancel any unfair contracts and award fair market value. That's all AEW is going to get once WBD cancels it well before the Netflix/WBD deal closes.

You keep insisting AEW will survive the acquisition when it will never make it that far. You still don't get it.
>>
>>19423797
Netflix can't legally back out of their deal with WWE until 5 years into it
AEW fans will of course always be writing head canon to fill in the absence of actual stories
>>
>>19425560
And Netflix can’t back out of the AEW deal for two years. Thats why they will have to remove Raw, because they own a part of AEW. It’s just simple truth. If it wasn’t, this thread would be dead by now. Instead it stirs up emotions in people who don’t know how to deal with hurt feelings. Im sorry your Israeli wrestling company can’t have a monopoly

AEW fans keep doing this arm-folding, smug shithead game where they're like
>"Netflix is so mad at WWE, they're going to opt out, 2029 will be their last year!"
And yet AEW's deal can be cancelled at the end of 2027

Assuming the entire wrestling landscape is that bad at the end of 2027, then AEW will end up with a complete dogshit deal for another 3+ years during which time WWE has 2 years to turn things around before Netflix makes a final determination.

AEW fans and their insistence on kamikazeing the entire wrestling business is quite weird.

of RAWs Netflix views come from India.

>>

Divesture is not even mentioned in the OP because the OP is a retard who is trolling and has no idea what he's talking about. Divesture is a constant with mergers and acquisitions to gain regulatory approval and to avoid contracts conflicting with each other. AEW will be shitkicked from the WBD portfolio long before the acquisition is completed.

AEW isn't a WBD product dipshit, it's licensed just like NHL. WBD doesn't own NHL just because it airs a few games. Warner Brothers does own shows like Friends, which is why Netflix wanted to buy that side of the business.

AEW's licensing rights won't come anywhere near Netflix once the deal is completed. Sorry. There is no universe where Netflix simulcasts TBS/TNT shows, and HBO/MAX will only be home to Warner properties until it can be folded into Netflix.

I know in your head you pictured this thread going differently, but that's your own fault for being a fag about it. Do better research next time.

I’m sorry, just because you are angry and can’t make a coherent argument doesn’t mean any stupid thought that enters your brain becomes true. You will just have to accept that WWE Raw will be on Disney Plus on Monday nights, and it will be more Africanized than your mothers vagina.

>The BBC saar! Your mother bobs and vegana saar!
I accept your concession

>>19425930
You are going to have a hard time accepting reality. Raw will be fine on Disney. It’s more fitting for you. You can have all of your favorite shows in one place. Why does this upset you so much?
>>
>>19423797
AEW will stay on TNT and TBS and not be part of the aquisistion.

So much cope in one post. Sad.
>>
>>19425941
You are incapable of explaining why Netflix could sell Raw to Disney, but WBD couldn't sell AEW to Pop TV. Your troll cope makes no sense.

They will still be on Max and will be optional for Netflix

I did in the OP retard.
>>
>>19425946
WBD will give AEW an ultimatum: mutually end the agreement, or we'll make life unbearable for you: censor every curse word and vulgar crowd chant, black box all bleeding/violence, worst time slot they can get away with, constant preemptions/move to different channel, etc.

If WBD can't cancel AEW unilaterally, they'll make things horrible until AEW has no choice but to pull out, just like Tony's dad should have.
>>
>>19425973
Where is this ultimatum? Is it in the room with you right now?
>>
>>19425972
No you didn't retard because that's not how TV contracts work. They are loaded with opt-out clauses that networks are loathe to exercise because it can create hostility and mistrust with future partners, but in the case of AEW, nobody gives a fuck about them, and the sooner they get the hint, the better.

post-acquisition WBD will be tens of billions in debt and be in extreme cost-cutting mode. AEW is getting cancelled one way or another before their "3 year deal" ends, assuming regulation doesn't hold up finalizing the deal. Tony needs to begin work on finding a replacement home right now, not next year.
>>
>>19426001
Well unfortunately for you, Discovery Global has the tv deal portion now. The streaming portion is all on Netflix. Reread the thread and stop being intentionally obtuse.

>>19426047
If Netflix can dump AEW, they can easily dump Raw as well. Considering they are paying 10x for barely hitting 600k in the US market it’s highly likely they drop that bloated contract and kick raw to the curb. No one is watching that garbage
>>
>>19426110
Spend a quarter what they'd spend on RAW marketing AEW and it would get the same views, sadly.
>>
>>19426164
That’s what these retards don’t understand. Every argument they have is actually an argument to dump Raw. It’s doing ABYSMAL numbers. Not even bad, but holy shit we got fucked on this deal bad. The same thing with ESPN. The fact that AEW has better ROI should concern them, but they just think that WWE is untouchable and that all these companies are thrilled to have absolute garbage numbers
>>
>>19426013
One way or another, AEW is coming off WBD and Netflix platforms. If they have to lower bitrate, censor the shit out of every show, no more Wednesday/Thursday Collision, whatever they have to do to make things as uncomfortable as possible for AEW, they will do it.

AEW isn't wanted and they need to find a new home.
>>
>>19426189
if it were that easy, then stations would dump hundreds of millions into UFL and make billions back. But it's not that easy because AEW fucking sucks and their viewership is capped out, which is why AEW is deeply unprofitable and losing more money than ever.
>>
>>19426267
Netflix has dumped millions and can barely get 600k viewers. The entire planets only gets them 2 million viewers. AEW gulfs that alone just by viewership in North America. The fact that you are still here seething at this honest assessment shows that you care way too much about this possibility and it disturbs you greatly that you will be able to watch RAW along with great Marvel movies and Pixar entertainment. It’s a win for everyone but sadly AEW will be the flagship wrestling show on Netflix and there is nothing you can do about it.
>>
>>19426308
WWE isn't available on Netflix on the entire planet, retard, several countries have their own dedicated WWE deals like Japan and Germany. You can't even get basic facts right, but then your argument hinges on companies worth hundreds of billions of dollars openly lying, and your entire argument falls apart without that assumption.
>>
>>19426267
>AEW fucking sucks.
I agree, but so does RAW, so it's neither here nor there.
>>
>>19424648
>They do.
They don't. Netflix would be under no obligation whatsoever to honor WBD's contract with AEW because they aren't even purchasing the part of WBD that HAS a contract with AEW, you low IQ subhuman.

>>19424664
AEW isn't cancelled yet. But it's dead. The cancellation of its corpse comes later.
>>
>>19426631
You missed part of the new headcanon that AEW actually has TWO deals with WBD that are "intertwined", a TV deal and a streaming deal. Why did we never hear about this for the 13-14 months since news of WBD-AEW's new deal broke? Your guess is as good as mine.
>>
>>19425789
Netflix is shedding AEW from HBO Max so you're you're pretending Netflix is shedding Raw. AEWtists are hilarious kek
>>
>>19426631
Actually they are. Contracts don’t just magically become void. Anything WBD has under contract is now Netflix’s responsibility.
>>
>>19425789
>Netflix wants the WBD and their brands and they are more than willing to shed RAW to get it.
In what world do they need to "shed" Raw in order to buy WBD? You're just making things up.
>>
>>19426189
>It’s doing ABYSMAL numbers.
Raw is doing over 2 milly viewers on Netflix every week. Try again.
>>
>>19426759
Globally. Which means they do like 400k in the US. That’s horrific.
>>
>>19423797
none of you mongoloids know jack shit about corporate restructuring or what goes on in a media deal. please stop pretending that you do. it's just embarrassing.
>>
>>19426747
>Anything WBD has under contract is now Netflix’s responsibility.
You're making things up again. WBD's entire cable business is being spun off into separate company and AEW's contract will go with it. Netflix isn't buying this separate company and will have nothing to do with it. You're so stupid you actually think TNT and TBS will be Netflix's responsibility, holy fuck
>>
>>19426912
They have a deal with HBO Max, which is now owned by Netflix. It streams AEW Dynamite, Collision, and has their library. This is all under contract. I’m sorry you can not understand this simple concept.
>>
>>19425789
You're actually delusional
>>
>>19426808
>ummm over 2 milly is bad, actually
>Raw's viewership in the US, which I'm making up, is really bad
>it's over for Raw
lel. Raw has been great for Netflix and they're extremely happy with it. Your schizo headcanon isn't real.

>>
>>19425789
Netflix is under a legally binding deal with WWE that they can't back out of for at least 4 more years and some change. I hope you take a moment to realize how absolutely retarded you sound saying Netflix would drop WWE for AEW

No they don't. There's no such thing as "having a deal with HBO Max". It isn't a separate entity from WBD. You're extremely retarded I'm afraid.

Part of the deal with WBD is streaming rights on Max you brain rotten fool lol

No, Netflix says Netflix loves WWE. And Ampere Analysis says WWE has been extremely beneficial to Netflix and has the numbers to back it up. The idea that Raw isn't doing well on Netflix is a complete and total lie made up out of thin air by extremely upset subhumans.
>>
>>19427184
Netflix wanted AEW so badly they bought WBD to get it. You are insane for thinking otherwise.

Insaaaaaane cope. Might have to screenshot this one. Like always, this is going to backfire on you gAyEWtists hard.
Also Netflix doesn't want Discovery or the linear TV assets. AEW has the HBO Max deal but it's going to be weird how not buying the TV rights affects Netflix's ownership of AEW television/streaming rights.
>>
>>19427370
The CEO of Netflix watched Full Gear and decided they needed to acquire AEW at all costs. The cope from drones over this is insane.
>>
>>19427114
Kek you've got the IQ of a turnip. AEW has a deal with WBD to stream content on HBO Max. However, this deal is instantly nullified when WBD divests itself. The part with Max gets acquired by Netflix and Max ceases to exist. The part that AEW has a deal with is the cable side which will become its own separate company and as such it will no longer have anything to do with Netflix or the dead HBO Max. Keep twisting yourself into pretzels making up deranged copes though. It's funny.

The mental gymnastics are insane here. You have zero idea what you are talking about.
>>
>>19426808
They are probably doing 1.2-1.5 million views over 1 week in the USA. This is pretty much the same as their cable audience. RAW has settled in to doing around 3 million globally every week.
>>
>>19427449
>AEW has not agreement or contract to be on MAX
AEW has an agreement with WBD to be on Max. But that agreement will be void because WBD will stop existing in its current form as it splits itself into two halves(the half that has Max and doesn't have a deal with AEW will be acquired by Netflix) and Max ceases to exist.
>You have zero idea what you are talking about.
But enough about you

Max will still exist. If you can understand that Netflix went out of their way to acquire AEW I don’t know what to tell you. It sucks they will liquidate DC, the Harry Potter Universe, Game of Thrones, and WWE, plus many other franchises, but you have to break a few eggs to make a omelette. AEW is the destination for Netflix content now.
