AEW Production Upgrades, Shift to ‘Sports-Style’ Presentation Coming Soon

:aew:

All Elite Wrestling (AEW) will make significant upgrades to its production capabilities in the coming months, including a renewed emphasis on a sports-style presentation. They’ll will implement the advanced technology starting in January 2025, as the promotion prepares to simulcast AEW Dynamite and AEW Collision on cable television and WBD’s Max streaming service.

Mark J. Burns of Sports Video Group reports on AEW’s plans to utilize Live Media Group’s IP-based mobile facilities, which will include the first North American-based production truck to feature the EVS MediaInfra Strata router.

Mike Mansury, AEW’s Executive Vice President and Head of Global Production, explains that they aim to leverage a cutting-edge production team to enhance the show experience.

“Starting in 2025, you’ll see more of a sports-style presentation in-arena, with added entertainment options for the audience during moments when there isn’t live in-ring action or pre-taped content on the broadcast,” Mansury said.

“We want to create a distinct atmosphere between the live event and TV show to make the experience feel even more special for fans in attendance.”

A new multi-year multimedia rights deal has been signed between AEW and Warner Bros. Discovery, giving AEW an influx of more money. AEW pay-per-views will be available on Max later in 2025 at a discounted price per event.

The promotion plans to tour with 16 production trucks, featuring overhauled A and B units to support this advanced setup.
