That has never been the issue, getting resigned or not. The issue is that the "Business Model" Tiny sold his dad on was they would get the kind of increase WWE did from their next rights contract. A 3x increase has always been the pot of gold.

It does not matter one bit if AEW's new deal goes from $45 million per year to $55 million per year. The entire purpose was for AEW to get a $150+ million per year deal to make Shad's investment worth it.

If they do not 3x their current deal, then their entire business model of "making it back" goes out the window, and they will be forced to trim their budget. Shad cannot want to continue funding something after 4 years of waiting for that payday that did not come?

AEW operates like a $100 million TV show expecting to be making $150 million. If they do not get that $150+ million deal, there are going to have to be some tough decisions made.
