GCW’s Brett Lauderdale confirms discussions with AEW

Game Changer Wrestling has been putting up shows on Triller TV since 2018. But with Triller suffering financial and operational woes, however, might they be looking for a new online home?

A report at Fightful Select says GCW has had discussions about leaving Triller for the new MyAEW streaming platform.

“Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful spoke to GCW owner Brett Lauderdale, who acknowledged Triller’s issues, but said that so far they have been exempt from that and the relationship remains strong,” the Fightful report states. “However, Lauderdale did confirm that he has had discussions with All Elite Wrestling about possibly appearing on the MyAEW service in the future. There were no other details provided.”

Lauderdale also confirmed he had spoken to AEW owner Tony Khan directly—but not recently, and not about MyAEW.

“Lauderdale also told Fightful he’s only had one conversation with Tony Khan himself—a brief one at a UFC show years ago,” the report states. 

After seven years of working with Triller, AEW left the platform in March and has since sued the service for nearly $5 million in overdue payments. AEW went on to create MyAEW to stream their own shows and others online. 

Last week, House of Glory announced they were also leaving Triller, with most expecting them to join MyAEW as well.
