The future of wrestling at Warner Brothers Discovery was already uncertain, with the media company said to be negotiating with both AEW and WWE regarding the promotion’s respective TV rights. But all of that may now be thrown for a loop, thanks to a potential merger that could shake up the entire entertainment industry.
Axios reports that WBD is currently in talks to merge with Paramount Global, with WBD CEO David Zaslav having met with Paramount CEO Bob Bakish earlier this week to negotiate the merger. The meeting, taking place over several hours, appeared to be fruitful, as Zaslav an Bakish discussed many facets of a potential merger, including merging their respective streaming services. It was further noted that discussions are far enough along that WBD had “hired bankers to explore the deal.”
Should a merger between WBD and Paramount be complete, it would create one of the largest media conglomerates in America, up there with Disney. How this would affect AEW’s standing with WBD or potential negotiations between WBD and AEW or WWE remains unclear.

In a new update on social media, Perry revealed that the infection on her finger has worsened, and will now require surgery. She requested everyone to keep her in their thoughts.
“I have been in the ER and hospital for over 50 hours. The infection has gotten worse and I’m going into surgery tonight. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers. I love you all,” said Perry.
She had disclosed a few days ago that her middle finger had swollen following an infection, which also spread to her arm. Perry stated in her recent update that she has been in the emergency room for over 50 hours.
The former WWE star was advertised to be in the corner of her new client, Andrade el Idolo for his first appearance in CMLL since 2015, but the injury kept her away from traveling to Mexico. She also missed the following night’s “AEW Collision” show where Andrade faced another former WWE star, Claudio Castagnoli, in the Continental Classic tournament. The Mexican star lost the match, which was his first defeat in the tournament, but still sits joint-top of the Blue league alongside Bryan Danielson.
Perry, who joined AEW in September, became Andrade’s manager in November and has accompanied the former “NXT” Champion to the ring ever since, despite her real-life husband, Miro, also being a part of the promotion. Miro and Andrade haven’t clashed since joining AEW, but a potential feud looms as the former declared on AEW television that he would target Andrade after the conclusion of the Continental Classic tournament.

Rosa will team up with Abadon on next week’s show to face Blue and Hart. The episode is part of AEW’s annual “Holiday Bash” special and will be taking place in San Antonio, Texas, at the Frost Bank Center. It’s worth noting that San Antonio is the hometown of Rosa. Her first and so far only AEW Women’s Title reign started in her hometown, where she became the champion after defeating Britt Baker in a steel cage match on the March 16, 2022, episode of “AEW Dynamite” at the Freeman Coliseum.
Rosa had been out of action for more than a year due to a serious back injury, which forced her to relinquish the AEW Women’s Title during the November 23, 2022, episode of “Dynamite.” Rosa has been a part of the AEW roster since July 2021, debuting as the NWA Women’s Champion on the September 2, 2020, episode of “Dynamite” in a match against Serena Deeb. Fans will undoubtedly be happy to see her in action again, but it remains to be seen if she’ll win her old championship back.
