Ladies and gentlemen, gather ‘round because we’ve got some major league wrestling news hotter than a superkick at WrestleMania! AEW and DAZN are stepping into the ring together, announcing a blockbuster streaming partnership that’s set to make waves around the globe.
In a press release that’s got the wrestling world buzzing, it was revealed that the upcoming Double or Nothing pay-per-view and the highly anticipated AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door pay-per-view will now be available on the DAZN online streaming platform. That’s right, wrestling fans across the planet can now tune in to these epic events – well, almost. A few countries are sitting out this dance, including Australia, Afghanistan, India, Japan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, and the Maldives. Sorry, folks, maybe next time!
This new deal is an expansion of the partnership AEW and DAZN struck up last year, which already brings AEW’s TV and YouTube shows, along with pay-per-views, to 42 countries across Europe and Asia. Stateside fans, don’t worry – Bleacher Report’s got your back for pay-per-views in the US and Canada. And for some international markets, Triller TV (formerly known as FITE TV) continues to stream AEW shows.
Mark your calendars, folks! AEW’s Double or Nothing will be lighting up the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Sunday, May 26. Then, brace yourselves for Forbidden Door, the colossal NJPW and AEW co-produced event, set to rock the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York on June 30. With ten matches already confirmed for Double or Nothing and seven titles on the line, this is shaping up to be a spectacle for the ages. And don’t forget the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship Eliminator match – because who doesn’t love a little extra drama in the ring?
