Top AEW Star Mocks Fans Who Waited for Free PPVs on Prime Video

Ricochet has expressed frustration with wrestling fans who misunderstood AEW’s new partnership with Prime Video.

The AEW star took to Twitter on March 5 to address misconceptions about the streaming deal.

I love how DUMB people are. Apparently, they all forgot what ‘PPV’ means. Lol. ‘I have Prime, so I should be able to watch for free?’ As they rent/buy movies, TV shows, and more. Idiots, man. Idiots.

Ricochet’s comments came in response to confusion following AEW’s announcement of their new distribution agreement with Amazon’s streaming platform.

The partnership will make AEW pay-per-views available for purchase through Prime Video, similar to how UFC sells its events on ESPN+.

Despite the clarity in AEW’s announcement, numerous fans apparently assumed that events like Revolution, Dynasty, and All In would be included at no additional cost with a standard Prime membership.

AEW’s deal with Prime Video is non-exclusive, meaning their pay-per-views will continue to be available through traditional PPV platforms and TrillerTV.

The company will also make its content available on Max (formerly HBO Max) later this year, further expanding their distribution network.

The Prime Video partnership gives AEW access to the platform’s global reach of approximately 220 million subscribers.
