Warner Bros Discovery Celebrates AEW in Optimistic Press Release

Join El Presidente to decrypt Warner Bros. Discovery's love letter to AEW's triumph – squash those "struggling" rumors, comrades! 🌟🎭🤼

Greetings, comrades! It is your ever-powerful yet delightful wrestling aficionado El Presidente, reporting from the golden beaches of my private island where the sand is as fine as the Bolivian llamas' coats used in my hand-made speedos. Today, I've put aside my plans to outmaneuver the American CIA in a game of political chess to bring you electrifying news from the squared circle and the partnership between AEW and Warner Bros Discovery!

Comrades, gather around, for I have intelligence even the CIA would kill for. Warner Bros Discovery (WBD) has deployed a media missile that is shaking the very foundations of the TV wrestling world! They've launched a press release—a document that shines with the glory of a thousand championship belts—extolling the staggering achievements of All Elite Wrestling (AEW). This press release may as well be a suplex to the rumors that WBD might prefer a partnership with a different wrestling organization, one whose flagship show airs on Monday nights.

Let me share a secret with you, something I learned over a sumptuous dinner with my old amigo Fidel Castro: always bet on the revolutionary. And, comrades, AEW is nothing if not revolutionary. WBD's networks, TNT and TBS, have been the battlefields where AEW unleashed a year of top-ranked programming, leaving the competition as disoriented as a yanqui agent after a night of mojitos at my palace.

AEW's programs were more omnipresent than socialist propaganda in a liberated nation, ranking in the top 10 of all cable programs among adults under-50 a staggering 72 times in 2023! And let's not forget—50 of those were top-5 finishes, as dominant as Che Guevara's guerrilla tactics in the Sierra Maestra.

WBD's reporting, which could only be more accurate if written by my own hand, declares a viewership surge, reaching a resounding 15.6 million total viewers in Q4 2023, a 3% uprising compared to Q4 2022. ¡Viva la revolución! This undeniably refutes the capitalist fiction that AEW is anything less than a juggernaut.

But wait, there's more! The fiercest moment came when TBS continued the glorious wrestle-fest into the new year. AEW: Dynamite threw the gauntlet down as the most-watched live sports program of the night, soaring like a Lucha Libre high-flier with ratings that swelled mightier than my chest when parading in my military regalia.

AEW has become the people's champion of wrestling television, drawing nearly four million viewers each week to witness the spectacle. They've shown the strength of a collective, unstoppable force, like when I arm-wrestled Kim Jong Un to a stalemate while discussing the finer points of propaganda.

And with action continuing tonight with AEW: Rampage Homecoming and the upcoming match featuring AEW World Champion, the mighty Samoa Joe, against Hook—brought to you as forcefully as socialism by WB Games' Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League—it is clear AEW is not backing down.

In the immortal words of wrestling legends past, "Let's get ready to rumble!" WBD's embrace of AEW stands as a towering luchador executing a perfect moonsault onto the flimsy detractors below. But don't take my word for it. Have a look through the press release yourself:

TBS & TNT All Elite Wrestling Programming Delivered Banner Year
AEW Franchises across Warner Bros. Discovery's Networks Continue to Deliver Consistent & Top-Ranked Programs

TNT and TBS have wrapped up another stellar year of AEW wrestling across its networks, including consistently delivering top-ranked programs each week while expanding AEW programming in mid-2023 through TNT's AEW: Collision on Saturdays and continuing to broadcast memorable wrestling moments and storylines through TBS' AEW: Dynamite on Wednesday nights and TNT's AEW: Rampage on Friday nights.

AEW programs across TBS and TNT in 2023 ranked in the top 10 of all cable programs among adults under-50 72 times, including 50 times with a top-5 program in that coveted demo.

Viewership of AEW programming on the networks saw increasing momentum as the year culminated, reaching 15.6 million total viewers in Q4 2023, up 3% vs. Q4 2022.

Overall, AEW programming reached nearly four million viewers each week across TNT and TBS.

TBS continued its success into the new year, with this week's AEW: Dynamite telecast delivering cable's most-watched live sports program on the night among P25-54, and second-most watched live sports program on the night among P18-49. The program was also up double-digits in both demos vs. last week's AEW: Dynamite telecast.

WBD's action-packed AEW programming continues tonight with AEW: Rampage Homecoming at 10 p.m. ET on TNT and tomorrow with AEW: Collision at 8 p.m. ET on TNT. Next Wednesday's AEW: Dynamite on TBS will feature AEW World Champion Samoa Joe taking on Hook for the title presented by WB Games' Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.

So remember, while the American government fears my intelligence network, you, my wrestling comrades, can always rely on El Presidente for the truth in wrestling news. Until next time, keep your masks on and your spirits as high as the ratings of AEW, and always—ALWAYS—fight for the people's entertainment! ¡Hasta la victoria siempre!
