Last week, we learned that ITV had decided to close their Box Office service and that's obviously going to hurt All Elite Wrestling. Up until now, it's been the main source of the company's PPV revenue in the UK but, thankfully, Dynamite will continue airing on ITV 4.

Now, Dave Meltzer has revealed in the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter that this change "will significantly hurt AEW’s PPV numbers going forward."

As of right now, the plan is for Revolution to stream on FITE in the UK and while AEW is in talks with another television PPV provider in the UK, Meltzer points out that the company is limited on options. Up until now, UK fans have made up around 15,000 - 20,000 PPV buys and "while some will move to FITE, not everyone does so because a solid percentage of the audience still has an aversion to Internet only PPV."
 
This is definitely going to hurt All Elite Wrestling and while it's not the end of the world, they'll hopefully find a solution soon. As always, we'll keep you updated.
