Tony Khan On BR’s Streaming Issues For International Fans

AEW President and CEO Tony Khan recently took to his Twitter and addressed the streaming issues which Bleacher Report has been experiencing and dealing with for their international fans.

Khan mainly talked about the Women’s Title Eliminator Tournament matches which according to him was promised many times by their partner that the matches would stream in real-time for free for all international fans and since that is not the case, he has just put the matches up for free on YouTube.

This is what Tony Khan said:

“I’m sorry people had issues @BleacherReport’s international stream. I was promised multiple times by our partner that the Eliminator matches would stream in real time for free for all international fans. Since that’s not the case, I’ve just put the matches up for free on YouTube.”

Those Women’s Title Eliminator Tournament matches that were supposed to be streaming for free are Mei Suruga, Rin Kadokura and AEW Women’s Champion Hikaru Shida vs. Emi Sakura, Veny and Maki Itoh in a 6-Woman Tag Team Match, Yuka Sakazaki vs. Ryo Mizunami (AEW Women’s Eliminator Tournament Japan Bracket Final) and Riho vs. Thunder Rosa (AEW Women’s Eliminator Tournament U.S. Bracket Semi-Final).

AEW Women’s World Champion Hikaru Shida will face the winner of AEW’s Women’s Championship Eliminator Tournament at the Revolution PPV on Sunday, March 7th.
