On January 1, 2025, All Elite Wrestling debuted on the Max streaming service.
While Max doesn’t disclose their streaming numbers and keeps them a secret, Fightful Select is reporting that Warner Bros. Discovery have confirmed that AEW ranks among the top live sporting events on the service.
AEW has also maintained the cable viewership levels it had prior to the Max deal.
Eddie Kingston broke his leg in May 2024 and hasn’t been featured on AEW television, but he promises to return.
While speaking with Cezar Bononi for a new training video, Kingston commented on his future. He said,
“I will. I never doubted that I’ll come back. No, I got more shit to do. Being the top guy in the business is still a goal. Everybody wants to do the Tokyo Dome, which I get, I want to do that too. Somehow I want to do Budokan. If I do Budokan, I’m retiring. My favorite match ever was in the Budokan. I got more shit I gotta do before I call it. You know me, once I’m done, [I’ll be in the] middle of nowhere. I don’t want to be nowhere near the business. I just got more shit I gotta do. I never doubted coming back. It’s just the work I know I have to put in, and it’s like ugh, fuck, you know what I mean? [Laughs] When the surgery first happened, I was like, yeah, I could take breaks. But now the goal I want to hit, it’s like I can’t. I don’t have time.“
