AEW secured a multi-year deal with Warner Bros Discovery, ensuring that the companys programming will remain on the network. This opens up numerous possibilities for the future of Dynamite and Collision, including the potential for a formal roster split.
When Collision initially launched, it was intended to be CM Punks show, with a loosely enforced roster division. However, this unofficial split soon faded away. Now, with the new television deal in place, the concept of splitting the roster has resurfaced.
During a media call promoting WrestleDream, Tony Khan addressed the idea of a roster split in light of the new television deal. While he didnt confirm any concrete plans, he acknowledged that its a possibility he has considered before.
When asked about the subject, Tony Khan described the potential for a roster split as an intriguing idea that hed be open to exploring in the future. However, he emphasized that its still too early to make any commitments.
Interestingly, AEW Rampage was not included in the new TV deal, but Tony Khan has been negotiating another opportunity with FOX. The Shockwave television show is reportedly in the works for FOX, and they just announced a multi-year deal with FOX Mexico.
Its an exciting time for AEW as they navigate these changes. The future could hold separate rosters for Collision and Dynamite, offering fans distinct reasons to tune into each show. Keep checking back with us here at Ringside News for more information as it is made available.
