Florida: All Elite Wrestling (AEW) has changed its approach to digital content distribution, which will impact fans across the capital region and beyond. As of June 2025, AEW began uploading historically significant matches to its YouTube channel, including standout bouts like Bryan Danielson vs. Zack Sabre Jr. and Christian Cage vs. Darby Allin from WrestleDream 2023.
Fans have been frustrated for years by the lack of archival content on AEW’s YouTube channel despite its over 4.5 million subscribers. Unlike WWE and TNA, which regularly upload past matches, AEW focuses more on current promotions.
According to a report from Fightful Select, this change is part of AEW’s new strategy to drive viewers toward its streaming partner, HBO Max. Although full events like WrestleDream aren’t yet on the platform, AEW promotes the service in match descriptions.
A 2019 match between Jon Moxley and Joey Janela was uploaded without commentary to encourage fan interaction through shared clips and organic reactions.
AEW owner Tony Khan remains confident in the company’s direction, reiterating that AEW is “where the best wrestle,” emphasizing the talent and quality that define the brand.
This pivot in content strategy arrives just ahead of AEW’s largest pay-per-view of the year, All In Texas, scheduled for July 12th.
