AEW PPVs are now set to have a new home from 2025, or earlier.
Tony Khan’s All Elite Wrestling PPVs currently take place on Bleacher Report in the United States and Canada for the fans to watch, and on Triller TV for the fans based in other countries. However, a recent report from Andrew Zarian has revealed its future destination.
During a recent episode of the Mat Men podcast, Andrew Zarian shared that Warner Bros Discovery’s streaming service MAX will begin to host AEW PPVs from January, or even sooner if possible. On the podcast, Zarian commented:
They will be on MAX in January. They could do it sooner but I do know that they are planning on January. I do know that pay-per-views are going to be on there. They don’t have an exclusivity on the pay-per-views, so it will also be available other places. It’s like WWE is, you can still order those pay-per-views that are available on Peacock.”
Wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer of WON also noted that the PPV deal with MAX comes with the promotion’s agreed package with WBD. He shared:
Those close to the situation have confirmed MAX being part of the PPV package, although it’s not detailed yet as to what form this will take.”
