Supposedly TNT was spending around $400k per episode which seems to be around the upper range for tv wrestling shows these days, at least for any not named RAW or Smackdown.

Last I remember, RAW was around $1 million per episode and Smackdown was around $750k per episode to produce. They could be cheaper but WWE has a ton of added costs to their shows mostly due to having more people working on them and in RAW's case, the extra hour needed.

Think NXT used to be around the $250-$300k range during the taped era and now seems to be around the same as AEW per episode.

Pretty much this new revised deal means AEW is now making good tv money during their first year than having to wait 4 years for the next tv deal to start doing it. Also means Khan did the one thing his father requested when it came to getting the money to start AEW, have a good plan in place to be profitable in a few years.
