TrillerTV announced today that AEW Dynasty on Sunday 4/21 will be carried live on their platformin North America, including The United States.

AEW allowed TrillerTV, formerly FITE, to air their Revolution PPV after there were issues among fans attempting to order and access that PPV via Bleacher Report.

It should be interesting to see if this is a new strategy that will see TrillerTV carrying the PPV shows going forward in those markets.

    That’s awesome. Bleacher Report always seems to be an issue.

    I have to wonder if this has implications for AEW’s relationship with WB though.

    Good, I’m tired of seeing the AEW PPVs through Minecraft vision.

    I can never seem to get better than 480p from it.

      I’ve never had a problem with the resolution on B/R. It seems to buffer like crazy though; I’ll get a lot of stutters when trying to watch a show on there.

    So it’s 49.99 on top of the monthly fee, or no monthly fee for using the PPV feature, I’m a little unsure of that. Also, 49.99 once a year is ok, but constantly, no thanks AEW, I’m not going back to the '90s PPV era.

      TrillerTV does not charge a monthly fee. They do have an “AEW Plus” subscription outside the US, but that has never included the pay-per-views; it just gets you the weekly TV shows commercial free. You do not need that to order the PPVs though.

      EDIT: Looks like they do have a TrillerTV+ subscription, but that isn’t necessary to order pay-per-views.
