AEW makes Dynasty PPV available to buy on YouTube & PPV.com in U.S.
In yet another change for how fans can buy their pay-per-views, AEW has added both YouTube and PPV.com as methods in which they can purchase next month’s Dynasty.
The move comes a day after Triller (the former FITE) made Dynasty available for purchase for U.S. buyers — a move that will extend through June’s Forbidden Door — in addition to Bleacher Report.
The new methods are notable as Bleacher Report was previously the sole option for U.S. streaming buyers to purchase AEW PPVs. The Warner Bros. Discovery-owned brand is the domestic TV partner for AEW in a deal that expires at some point later this year. The renewal of those rights has been a hot topic, especially in how the PPVs will be packaged, or not packaged, as part of it.
During March’s Revolution, fans complained publicly about technical issues on Bleacher Report that forced them to miss portions of the first hour. In a first, the PPV was then made available for purchase on Triller for U.S. buyers roughly an hour after the main card started. Triller is an international streaming partner for AEW with both PPVs and the AEW Plus service.
Regardless of where it is purchased, the cost remains at $49.99 in the U.S. with no bundle options available.
As of this writing, AEW has not replied to a request for comment on the rationale for the changes.
