Scott D’Amore’s big international streaming tease has an answer, because Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling’s MLP Mayhem is officially coming to MyAEW.
AEW and Maple Leaf Pro announced that the new weekly series will stream for free in the United States and more than 100 countries through MyAEW.com starting Thursday, July 16. New episodes will arrive every Thursday.
Canadian viewers will still get MLP Mayhem through TSN, with the series premiere airing Wednesday, July 15 at midnight ET and 9 p.m. PT.
The MyAEW deal answers the access question D’Amore recently discussed on Stories with Brisco and Bradshaw. He said Maple Leaf Pro had been working on a simple and legal way for fans outside Canada to follow the promotion without searching for VPN workarounds.
“There’s going to be an announcement coming very soon about how people in the U.S. and other international viewers can follow because we get asked that question all the time.”
D’Amore said Maple Leaf Pro may be Canadian-owned and operated, but the company has been attracting interest from wrestling fans across the world.
“We’re a Canadian-based, Canadian-owned, Canadian-operated company that wants to showcase Canadian talent, but we want to showcase it with the best in the world. We love that we get comments from the Netherlands, Japan, all over the U.S. and Mexico.”
He also made it clear that the company wanted fans to have easy access instead of being forced to hunt down unofficial viewing methods.
“We want to make sure that people all over the world can watch.”
“We’ll be making announcements soon that I think are going to make everybody happy. They’re going to have easy access to be able to watch the MLP shows.”
That announcement is now official, and D’Amore called the MyAEW launch an important moment for the promotion. D’Amore said streaming in more than 100 countries gives MLP the chance to put its wrestlers and weekly stories in front of a much larger audience.
“This is an important milestone for Maple Leaf Pro and another major step in our mission to build a world-class Canadian professional wrestling promotion.”
“With MLP Mayhem now streaming on MyAEW in more than 100 countries, we can showcase our athletes and stories to fans around the globe every week. We’re proud to join the outstanding lineup on MyAEW and grateful to AEW for helping introduce Maple Leaf Pro to a worldwide audience.”
Tony Khan also welcomed Maple Leaf Pro to the platform and praised the work D’Amore and his team have put into the weekly series.
“MyAEW was created to give wrestling fans access to outstanding content from around the world, and Maple Leaf Pro is an excellent addition to that growing lineup.”
“Scott D’Amore and his team have assembled an impressive roster and are producing compelling weekly programming that fans everywhere will enjoy. We’re excited to welcome MLP Mayhem to MyAEW and continue expanding the platform with great professional wrestling from across the globe.”
MLP Mayhem will feature Canadian names such as Josh Alexander, Stu Grayson and Gisele Shaw, along with talent connected to AEW, TNA Wrestling, NJPW, CMLL and other promotions. Mauro Ranallo and Don Callis will handle the broadcast.
Maple Leaf Pro now has its Canadian television home and a global streaming outlet locked down. Fans outside Canada will not need a VPN after all—they will only need MyAEW when MLP Mayhem launches on July 16.
