Justice Department approves Paramount Skydance deal for AEW parent WBD

The US Justice Department's Antitrust Division has approved Paramount Skydance's $111 billion merger with Warner Brothers Discovery, the parent company of AEW. The decision allows the deal to proceed without restrictions, despite opposition from over 5,500 individuals, including prominent figures like Robert De Niro. Legal scrutiny continues as the California Department of Justice remains involved, and other states may pursue action against the merger. AEW's future under Paramount-WBD is uncertain until its current media rights deal, which runs through December 2027, is resolved.
