I wouldn't be surprised if one thing CW is really pushing for is a bit more consistency on who is at the shows.
For past WWE contract deals that was a really big deal, and even though you can never guarantee that a star will be there both Fox and USA really wanted some type of structure on who appears on what show.
We know CW seemed to have a similar agreement with Punk being the lead of Collision before that whole thing went up in Flames.
One problem with AEW TV up until recently was that due to injury and just booking you never really knew if the biggest stars would actually be on TV. Over the last 2 months they've really tried to make it a point for them to be on TV more consistently...wouldn't be surprised at all if that's part of the discussion.
