AEW All In 2025 peaked at 9.6k viewers representing a 45% increase from the previous PPV offering, Double or Nothing. This would indicate roughly how many buys were received for the show on the Youtube Platform

@ohyoudidntknw @vinnie_sunshine Money is the issue for AEW. Not actually finding a home. TNA has gotten deal after TV deal since getting bumped from Spike. They will land somewhere. Money is the issue.

@vinnie_sunshine @Switchblade97 Every streaming service is desperate for live content. You cant be at the bottom of the streaming services and not be desperate for live content. Wrestling fans really should learn things outside of wrestling

For Tony Khan to say "it couldn't be further from the truth" tells you that he already knows AEW's fate under Paramount which goes against Dave's line that nobody knows whats going to happen until 2027. Clearly Tony knows.
Trevor Dame@TrevorDame

Pretty obvious Tony was referring to the story in the new Observer about various people in WWE, including some high up, that were musing or outright of the belief AEW won't get a TV renewal from Paramount. He pushed back pretty strongly in multiple ways.

Im not convinced they'll be off TBS because of the TKO/Elisson link. If think if they do lose TBS it will be because the deal makes no financial sense for the numbers they bring in and nothing to do with TKO or Ari. Basically whatever happens with TBS will be on merit
Erik@Fistfulent

@Switchblade97 The Khan's owning an NFL team that plays most of their games on CBS may play a role. No doubt the NFL is more valuable than anything TKO has Going to be interesting how all this plays out

That's the alternative. So either Tony Khan already knows he's safe on TBS once Paramount takes over or he is laying when he says it couldn't be further from the truth. Otherwise, how could he know "it couldn't be further from the truth"?

@991_RyderChillz They will easily find TV if they lose TBS. That's not even a worry. The worry is finding someone who will pay the supposed $185m that they get. Which big players are out there who can pay that money?

@Switchblade97 Dave and the dirtsheets collectively putting together this news strategically to make WWE look bad for when they do get the TV deal. The good ole “The haters and doubters thought we’d get cancelled and lose our TV deal but we’re wrong once again” propaganda.

@Switchblade97 Tony’s denial directly contradicts Dave’s “Nobody knows about 2027” propaganda(which was fed to him by Tony no doubt). So something has to give here.

@TheNihilistKing TNA got TV deal after TV deal. They'll have no problem getting TV. Getting good money will be very difficult IMO without staying on TBS.

They'll easily get another TV deal even if they lose TBS. But who is going to pay them the kind of money they need to be viable long term? How much are the other TV wrestling companies you referenced getting paid?
Jon Alba@JonAlba

AEW is about to do its second-largest U.S. gate ever, and has a media rights deal worth at least $178 million annually. There are other TV wrestling companies making *substantially less* than that. AEW is also bankrolled by a multi-billionaire. It isn't going anywhere.

@Joel1998T @JonAlba AEW is the alternative but they gotta generate revenue. I’m talking about money and the way they have been. MJF is the only guy that’s WWE level rn for them. They need more

I guess the difference between this time and from the last time they tried to say AEW wouldn't get a good deal is that this time they are following it up by asking some of their talent to take a 50% pay cut.
WrestlePurists@WrestlePurists

One person in WWE noted that word has spread in the company among some if not many that AEW won’t be on Paramount/Skydance (when their current deal expires) and question if they can get a viable deal elsewhere. “One person there noted that people at the highest levels are talking like AEW won’t get another deal, but those kind of stories spread previously at the last negotiations, not that they wouldn’t get a deal, but that their deal would be at the same level or perhaps a lower level than the prior deal and instead they had a 2.3x increase.” - Dave Meltzer (@WONF4W)

@ade_oladipo1 I’m not sure a midfield of Gini, Milner and Henderson could cut it for 38 matches in the prem these days

“I almost feel like Liverpool need to go back to what was our best midfield in the Premier League and that was a midfield of runners and workers.” 💪 🗣️ “Wirtz isn’t that. We tried this with Thiago Alcantara - it just didn’t work.” Does Liverpool’s midfield need tweaking? 🔴

@ade_oladipo1 It did work with Thiago especially in the nearly Quadruple season. He just couldn't stay fit. If we have Wirtz in the midfield, we need runners around him.

Have you been living under a rock? WWE Wrestlemania ticket sales got slaughtered. All In was lagging for the first day and continues to lag compared to 2 years ago

@WONF4W Yes with over "100" days to go can't wait until wwe gets the same treatment here

@notaracistbigot Instead of saving a few cents cutting Kairi Sane for example, send to NXT to work with the next bunch of talent that you want to get ready for the main roster.

Same way Vince screwed Hunter taking all his talent. There was an opportunity to make NXT a third brand to eventually command rights fees like SD & Raw but they kill their own momentum every 2 years with call ups. For every call up, there should be a main roster call down.
No Milly@N0Milly

@TheRajGiri The NBA game wasn't any different, that's about what they've been drawing. Triple H screwed Shawn over taking all his talent.
