AEW is coming on Fox…but in Mexico.
Amid all the talks about Tony Khan’s promotion looking for a new platform for their third show, they have at least started a new relationship with Fox.
The Fox Sports Mexico account announced on Twitter early on October 10, that they have acquired the media rights for all three AEW shows, including Rampage:
“WE GET IN THE RING WITH AEW! FOX Sports Mexico acquires the broadcast rights to All Elite Wrestling, one of the most spectacular professional wrestling brands in the world.”
AEW’s Media Deals
After months of speculation, AEW finally announced their US media rights renewal deal with WarnerBros Discovery earlier this month. In addition to the TV shows, a Max deal to carry out AEW PPVs at a discounted price for subscribers was also announced.
The announcement, however, did not have any mention of Friday Night Rampage. It’s believed that the show is set to be cancelled after the current contract with WBD expires and the new deal kicks in.
The belief is that Tony Khan is looking to replace Rampage with a new AEW program dubbed ‘Shockwave.’ He’s shopping around different networks for the show and the name of Fox has been brought up repeatedly.
With SmackDown leaving Fox last month, the Network company has a slot open. An AEW show costing less money seems like a good option to replace the Blue Branded Show.
