WBD/AEW update (Patreon)

The AEW and WBD relationship has continued in a positive direction.

AEW began streaming on Max in 2025 while maintaining cable viewership near their levels prior to the deal. Though Max doesn't disclose streaming numbers, there is good news on that front.

Fightful Select spoke to sources within WBD, and confirmed that official numbers are kept very close to the vest, even within the company. However, they did confirm that since debuting, AEW has ranked among the top live sports events on Max.

We'll work to gain more info.
