Backstage Update On AEW PPVs Moving To HBO Max

As previously reported, AEW pay-per-view events will be available for purchase on HBO Max starting later this month with the event "All Out."

According to Fightful Select, AEW pay-per-view events will not be exclusive to HBO Max in the future. They will also be available on platforms such as Prime Video, Triller, PPV.com, as well as traditional cable and satellite providers. The report noted that HBO and AEW did not include this information in their press release because they want to promote HBO Max as the primary option for purchasing AEW pay-per-views. However, the other platforms will still be available for purchasing events.

Additionally, it was reported that as part of AEW's move to HBO Max, they will be introducing the AEW Tailgate Brawl. This event will be exclusive to HBO Max subscribers and Warner Bros. Discovery platforms, while the supplemental pre-show will feature a few matches as well. AEW will also provide an alternate pre-show for viewers who are not subscribed to HBO Max.

Currently, AEW has not announced any details regarding an alternative Zero Hour pre-show for "All Out," but the Tailgate Brawl will take place prior to the main pay-per-view card.
