AEW Revolution Zero Hour Hit With Streaming Issues On HBO Max

AEW Revolution took over the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California on March 15, 2026, but some fans ran into problems before the pay-per-view even started.

The Zero Hour pre-show was scheduled to stream on HBO Max ahead of the main AEW Revolution event. However, a number of viewers reported that the stream was not functioning properly when they attempted to watch the kickoff show on the platform.

After fans began speaking out online about the situation, it quickly became clear that the issue was affecting multiple viewers who were trying to access the pre-show through HBO Max. Several fans noted that the stream appeared to be stuck on the same screen instead of actually starting the broadcast.

One fan explained that their stream remained frozen on the message indicating the event would begin soon and that it stayed that way for an extended period of time. The fan eventually gave up trying to watch the stream on HBO Max and switched to another option instead.

Fortunately for viewers dealing with the problem, AEW also streamed the Zero Hour pre-show on YouTube, giving fans another way to watch the kickoff coverage before the main pay-per-view began. While the alternative stream allowed many fans to still watch the pre-show, the situation created frustration for viewers who expected the HBO Max stream to work without issues.

With the main AEW Revolution broadcast scheduled to begin shortly afterward, many fans were hoping the technical problems would be resolved before the pay-per-view portion of the show started.
