Massively important announcement made on AEW and its content
AEW has presented a stacked library of content since launching in 2019. The company has held a total of 29 pay-per-view events since 2019, while also producing weekly TV shows. A big announcement was just made that is sure to please the All Elite fanbase.
A central All Elite Wrestling content platform, similar to the WWE Network, has been rumored over the years, and now officials have taken a step in that direction. AEW first partnered with TrillerTV in April 2019. The former FITE was the company's first international streaming partner, offering the weekly TV shows and pay-per-view events that eventually became the AEW Plus subscription package for viewers outside of the United States.
AEW and Triller announced today that the extensive All Elite pay-per-view vault is now available for viewing around the world, for the first time ever. The library includes All In from 2018, all the way up to World's End at the end of 2023, with two special events included as bonus content. The archive features a total of 25 events, with each one available as a stand-alone purchase or in yearly bundle packages.
The 2018 & 2019 Pack is priced at $34.99, and includes All In, Double Or Nothing, All Out, Full Gear, Fyter Fest, and Fight for the Fallen. The 2020 Pack includes Revolution, Double Or Nothing, All Out, and Full Gear, priced at $29.99. The 2021 Pack is listed at $29.99, while the 2022 Pack is priced at $34.99, and the 2023 Pack is $59.99.
Fans are given unlimited on-demand access with the purchase of bundles or individual events. The 2024 PPV events are currently offered as a special discounted bundle, exclusively for AEW Plus subscribers, and will not be available for stand-alone buys. The 2018-2023 library can be purchased without a subscription and is available worldwide excluding Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Iran, Maldives, Nepal, and Sri Lanka.
