Rocky Romero: MyAEW Streaming Filling Void Left By Triller

Rocky Romero says AEW’s in-house streaming service, MyAEW, has quickly become an essential home for wrestling fans as rival platform Triller continues to struggle. Speaking in a new interview, the AEW producer and wrestler pointed to the breadth of content on MyAEW beyond just AEW’s own shows, noting that the platform has been actively spotlighting a wide range of independent promotions, including PRODUCE, RevPro, Maple Leaf Pro, Limitless Wrestling, and Warrior Wrestling.

Romero’s comments come at a time when Triller — which absorbed FITE TV and became a go-to streaming outlet for numerous independent and international promotions — has faced persistent criticism over payment delays, technical glitches, and instability that has left several promotions and fans frustrated. For a chunk of the wrestling world that relies on streaming revenue and easy access for niche audiences, any disruption to that ecosystem creates real problems, both for the companies trying to get eyes on their product and for fans trying to find where to watch it.

That’s the gap Romero believes MyAEW is stepping into. Rather than functioning purely as a subscription add-on for AEW’s own pay-per-views and library content, the platform is positioning itself as a broader wrestling destination — one that gives smaller companies a legitimate, stable outlet to reach viewers who might not otherwise stumble onto their shows. For promotions like RevPro in the UK or Warrior Wrestling and Limitless in the U.S. independent scene, that kind of visibility matters enormously, especially when other options are shaky.

Romero’s own résumé makes him a natural spokesman for this kind of cross-promotional thinking. Long before his current backstage producer role in AEW, he built relationships across the independent and international wrestling landscape through his work with New Japan Pro-Wrestling and his ties to companies around the world. He’s been one of the people credited with helping AEW maintain working relationships with a range of outside promotions, so his endorsement of MyAEW as a home for that kind of content lines up with a role he’s played behind the scenes for years.

It’s also a notable moment for AEW as a company. MyAEW launched as a way to control its own content and subscriber relationships rather than depend entirely on outside partners, and comments like Romero’s suggest the promotion sees an opportunity to expand that footprint while a competitor is faltering. If Triller’s issues persist, it wouldn’t be surprising to see more independent promotions look at MyAEW, or similar arrangements, as a landing spot for their content.

For fans, the practical upshot is straightforward: more of the wrestling world’s undercard-to-midcard talent pool, spread across promotions that don’t always get mainstream attention, may become easier to find in one place. Whether that translates into MyAEW becoming a true one-stop shop for wrestling content remains to be seen, but Romero’s remarks make clear that, at least from the inside, AEW views this moment as an opening rather than just a business footnote.

As streaming continues to reshape how fans consume wrestling outside the major networks, keep an eye on which independent promotions follow suit and align with AEW’s platform in the months ahead.
