      The cheapest HBO Max plan doesn’t include a bunch of the sports stuff but still has AEW, so we might be safe. Then again, for most of the time I’ve had Max it’s felt like they’re actively trying to make me cancel my subscription, so who knows.

          Before Max I just pirated AEW so I missed out. I’m just amazed that WBD have a massive animation library and most of it isn’t on Max, or really anywhere.

      I think this is preparation for the Warner Bros./Discovery split. IIRC, HBO will be part of the WB group and TNT will be part of the Discovery group.

      I wouldn’t expect this to impact AEW as their HBO deal was likely made with this in mind.

        I suspect the same, but I don’t trust any company to make smart decisions these days

    I could be wrong, but I would guess that PPVs being available on Max now wouldn’t have happened if AEW was headed to wherever TNT is doing here.
