That has been my position the entire time. WBD is cutting costs across the board, they are not going to give AEW a 400% increase because it is some magical proof that can be used by AEW fans to argue how great AEW is.

WBD will give AEW just as much as they have to. They know Tiny is going to fund it regardless, so what would they gain? Anything they pay AEW over what they are paying AEW now will decrease the profit for WBD.

None of the defenders have answered WHY would WBD want to go from making money to losing money on AEW?

And no, I do not know the exact financials, but I am fairly comfortable in saying WBD is NOT making over $200 million a year on AEW now with 800,000 viewers.
