There’s been some confusion about AEW’s new deal with Prime Video, so let’s set the record straight. AEW pay-per-views aren’t suddenly included with an Amazon Prime subscription—this isn’t a freebie for Prime members. Instead, the deal works the same way UFC PPVs do with ESPN+.

If you have an Amazon Prime account, you’ll be able to purchase AEW pay-per-views through Prime Video for an additional price. That means events like Revolution, Dynasty, Double or Nothing, All In, Forbidden Door, All Out, WrestleDream, Full Gear, and Worlds End will be available on Prime Video, but not included as part of a regular Prime subscription.

On top of that, this isn’t an exclusive deal. AEW pay-per-views will still be available through traditional PPV providers, TrillerTV, and other platforms. And later this year, AEW PPVs will also be available for order on Max (formerly HBO Max).

The move to Prime Video just gives AEW another way to reach fans, adding to its already strong distribution. With 220 million Prime Video subscribers globally—nearly double the reach of Max—AEW is ensuring its biggest events are easy to find and purchase.

So, no, AEW pay-per-views aren’t going to suddenly be part of your Prime membership. But if you’re an Amazon user, this makes ordering shows a whole lot easier.

Does this new setup make AEW pay-per-views more accessible for you? Would you rather see them included in a subscription package? Drop your thoughts below!
