All Elite Wrestling's Australia Debut

All Elite Wrestling (AEW) is gearing up for its spectacular Australian debut on February 15, with the Grand Slam event set to take place in Brisbane. However, fans are left in a bit of a fog regarding how they can catch the action live. While AEW is currently promoting its next pay-per-view, Revolution, scheduled for March 9, many are left wondering how the Australian show will be broadcast.

Broadcasting Speculations

Wrestling expert Dave Meltzer shed some light on this during a recent episode of "Wrestling Observer Radio." He speculated that the Brisbane show will likely be available to all MAX subscribers. "I'm presuming it's a MAX special; it's definitely not a pay-per-view," Meltzer mentioned. He emphasized that given the unusual timing of the event—set to start in the middle of the night for local viewers—Tony Khan, AEW's president, deemed it impractical to put the event on pay-per-view since audiences wouldn’t be watching live.

Confirmation on Streaming

Meltzer’s co-host, Bryan Alvarez, pressed for clarification on whether the event would be free to stream on MAX. To this, Meltzer confirmed that it won’t be offered as a pay-per-view, indicating that fans should have the opportunity to watch it without additional costs. Although he couldn't definitively confirm the broadcasting platform, he hinted that it would be available on MAX and unlikely to air on TBS or TNT.

Exciting Match Card Announcement

As for the match card, fans can expect the first official bout for Grand Slam Australia to be revealed on the upcoming "Maximum Carnage" edition of "AEW Dynamite." At stake is a match where the winner of the inaugural women's Casino Gauntlet match will earn a chance to challenge Mariah May for the coveted Women's World Championship.

Conclusion

Stay tuned, as AEW promises to deliver an unforgettable night filled with thrilling matches and unexpected twists. And remember, there’s no telling what surprises await fans in the lead-up to this momentous event!
