All Elite Wrestling is set to offer another option for
purchasing their pay-per-view events later this year: Amazon
Prime streaming.
According to Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics, Amazon Prime
is set to become a digital option for AEW PPVs in the United
States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. It's unknown exactly
when the option will be available.
When AEW PPV's were available through the B/R app, one of
the options for payment was to pay through Amazon. Sources
told The Takedown On SI that AEW noticed how many of their
customers were using the Amazon payment option via B/R. The
apparent ease of purchasing through Amazon was one of the
motivating factors in the move to make events available
through Prime itself in the future.

AEW PPV events are currently available via Triller, YouTube,
PPV.com, traditional cable and satellite companies in the
United States and Canada, and some international markets.
Adding another option is a positive for a company that aims
to benefit from more and more discoverability.
Details have yet to be fully revealed regarding when AEW PPV
events will be available via the HBO Max streaming platform
now that weekly television is available there. It's long
been expected that AEW PPVs would be discounted for Max
subscribers once they are available via that platform, but
Max is not yet ready to offer this option.
AEW's next PPV event is Revolution on March 9th. The event
will take place at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles,
California.
