— Rumors of a WWE sale are rampant and while many expect the company to be sold within the next six months, there is no clear cut favorite on which entity will be the one to land the promotion with Comcast, FOX, Disney, Warner Bros. Discovery, Netflix, Amazon, Endeavor, Liberty Media and Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund as all the names that seem to be in the mix. There may be another dark horse buyer interested.
— Barron’s, the sister publication to the Wall Street Journal which has been breaking/leaking WWE news over the last few months, reports that Shahid and Tony Khan, who own AEW, are also said to be interested in buying WWE. The story suggests they are in the “pool of potential buyers for WWE” but would look for a financial partner to acquire the asset rather than presumably purchasing it directly. Tony Khan had already gone record to say that he is paying very close attention to any potential sale for WWE.
