Not really. My prediction for the TV deal would be TK pushing for the total amount of his current deal over one year of the new deal. That would be ~$180 million per year, which is less than what WWE currently charges for 2 hours of their content.

Over 5 years, $180 mil pa is $900 million. That’s pretty close. Keep in mind that Rampage and this new Collision show are a part of that, plus any specials and the possible back library (if they’re even interested in that), it’s not really surprising at all.

Given that Warner currently splits ad revenue and pays $45 million in rights fees for Dynamite, the show should currently have an estimated value of at least $450 million over 5 years under the current arrangement for Warner to not be losing their ass on it.

I also guessed that when the deal was announced, Dave Meltzer and the like would make a huge deal about it, act like it’s the biggest thing ever and AEW has won, ignoring that the deal still takes them under 1 of WWE’s current shows, and that WWE is probably about to negotiate to roughly double that.
