In an interview with New York Daily News, Brett Weitz, the General Manager of TBS, TNT and truTV, spoke about today’s news that AEW Dynamite will be moving to TBS in 2022, Turner will air four annual supercards for AEW and a new show, Rampage, will debut in August.
He said: “
More wrestling is better for wrestling fans.”
He went into more detail when talking with The New York Post, citing the recent acquisition of NHL programming as part of the reason for the move.
Weitz added: “
Both TBS and TNT have an incredibly storied history with wrestling, so the idea of us being able to put more AEW onto TBS is a natural fit. Did the NHL have anything to do with it? Sure. NHL had something to do with it. NBA had something to do with it, the COVID schedule, the ton of preemptions.”
