Summary

AEW has filed a lawsuit against TrillerTV and parent company Triller Group, Inc., alleging it is owed just under $5 million tied to pay-per-view sales and revenue from the now-discontinued AEW Plus subscription service.

The lawsuit was filed on April 29, 2026 in Duval County Court in Florida. According to the complaint, money generated through TrillerTV's distribution of AEW content was diverted to cover other operating expenses instead of being paid to AEW.

What the TrillerTV dispute means for AEW

AEW taking this fight to court puts a former distribution partnership into a public business dispute and centers nearly $5 million in contested revenue around the promotion's international streaming and pay-per-view business.

The filing also points to AEW Plus as part of the disagreement, which makes this more than a one-off pay-per-view issue. If AEW's claims hold up, the case would underline how important dependable media partners are to the company's revenue outside the weekly TV cycle.

Details from the court filing

The complaint alleges that TrillerTV's parent company used AEW-related revenue to fund other business ventures, including a social media platform that ultimately did not succeed.

Quote from AEW's attorneys

"[Triller Group Inc.'s] strategy of robbing revenues generated by TrillerTV's distribution of AEW content to cover other of Defendants' operating expenses (much of which was spent on the social media platform endeavor) negatively impacted its relationship with and payments owed to AEW."
