Truth with most wrestling companies is that they probably need TV more than TV needs them. I do question whether anything short of legit prime has enough direct value - imaging/branding not withstanding - for it to be worth the expense.
Adding to my concern in AEW's case is the apparent gap between broadcast quality & where they are today. Yesterday's "pep rally" was downright painful at times, with a lot of stuff occurring off-mic that should have been on-mic. They really ought to hope that nobody involved in TV negotiations saw it.

Yeah, I thought about WGN too. I mean they did an hour of All In, I just never saw what the ratings were or what the production value looked like on TV.
I think one of the WWE things taken for granted is their production value/abilities. AEW has to go from recording things on your phone to actually trying to making a quality TV product. Not sure Billy Gunn is the man for that (did they say he was in charge?)
