All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite will not be live in the United Kingdom through television on ITV. Fans in the UK will have an option to stream on Fite TV, but it will cost them $4.99 month. There is a good reason for this.

Dave Meltzer reported on Wrestling Observer Radio that TNT is going to do 16 minutes of commercial time an hour, but ITV is regulated so it can’t be more than 12. This was the issue that prohibited them from being live.

Now AEW must re-cut the show for the UK. Since the United Kingdom version of the show will be on Saturday morning, they will have to censor the program. That being said, it is also reported that the UK version will have eight more minutes of content than the US version of the show.

This is the reason why Fite TV introduced AEW Plus so fans can watch the show live and uninterrupted. This is a very interesting issue, but it seems like All Elite Wrestling did the best that they could for the UK fans.

I love pro wrestling and hate BS. These two things drive me. Years of experience in writing, journalism, and digging exclusive insider info for Ringside News. Worked in finance before realizing pro wrestling journalism made much less sense. Pro beachballs at pro wrestling shows, pro dives if someone catches, anti bullies, olives, and pineapples on pizza.
