AEW is set to increase their production in 2025.
In October, All Elite Wrestling announced their new media deal with Warner Bros. Discovery, and it was valued at upwards of $150 million per year.
Per Mark J. Burns of Sports Video Group, AEW will have revamped production trucks for their global events in 2025. Specifically, they will use the new Live Media Group IP-based mobile facilities, which feature the first North American–based truck to house the EVS MediaInfra Strata router. AEW EVP and head of Global Production Mike Mansury commented on the news.
“The idea was getting more IP-based with everything that we are doing,” Mansury said. “How can we get AEW to be more towards the cutting edge? That’s always the challenge with our line of work. We’re not quite sport; we’re not quite entertainment. We’re a lovely hybrid. How do we take our form of content and intertwine technology into it that leaves us at the cutting edge and allows us to be trendsetters as opposed to followers?”

Mansury added, “Starting in 2025, you’ll see more of a sports-style presentation in-arena in terms of being able to entertain the audience when there isn’t in-ring content or taped content happening as part of the television broadcast. We want to create a nice split between the live event and TV show, just to make that experience for those in the house feel a bit more special.”
It was noted that AEW would have 16 touring production trucks with overhauled A and B units.
