Vince Russo says Tony Khan and AEW “would have to find a new home” because of WWE if one thing happens (Exclusive)

WWE is arguably the biggest wrestling promotion in the world. After it triumphed over World Championship Wrestling (WCW) in the Monday Night Wars in 2001, the global juggernaut faced little competition for the top spot for almost two decades. However, the emergence of All Elite Wrestling in 2019 gave the Stamford-based promotion its first real challenge since the Monday Night Wars.

AEW has been slowly growing bigger and bigger in the past few years and has established itself in the conversation as one of the biggest wrestling promotions. The Tony Khan-led company has been in a partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery since 2019. However, Vince Russo recently stated on Sportskeeda Wrestling's BroDown that AEW might soon have to find a new home for its weekly programming.

Global streaming giant Netflix is reportedly looking to buy Warner Bros. Discovery following the studio's success at the box office this summer. Given that Netflix is WWE's streaming partner worldwide, if it were to buy WBD, it would essentially be the streaming partner for both AEW and the sports entertainment giant, and that is not something that either company would want.

"Yeah, I mean that's very, very interesting because one would have to assume if that ever happened, you know, Tony would have to find a new home. I mean, that's what one would assume," Russo said.
