Reports of significant financial distress at Triller, the parent company of TrillerTV, have emerged, with Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio detailing serious issues, a situation underscored by AEW’s upcoming Double or Nothing pay-per-view on May 25, 2025, not being offered on the TrillerTV platform for viewers in the United States.
Dave Meltzer, during a recent Wrestling Observer Radio episode, described Triller as being in a “really bad financial state.” This assessment follows Triller’s reported failure to submit its 10-Q report, a mandatory quarterly financial disclosure to the SEC for publicly traded companies. Meltzer highlighted that such a lapse could lead to Triller facing a risk of being delisted from the stock exchange and suggested the company might urgently require a buyer. Triller’s stock is currently valued at $0.81 per share; the parent entity of TrillerTV initiated public trading only last year.
The news of these financial difficulties coincides with AEW’s decision regarding its Double or Nothing pay-per-view scheduled for May 25, 2025. As initially reported by PWMania.com, the event will not be accessible via TrillerTV for audiences within the United States. Instead, AEW is directing U.S. fans to Amazon Prime and YouTube as alternative viewing options. It has not been explicitly stated whether Triller’s financial situation is the direct reason for this specific distribution change for Double or Nothing in the U.S.
Despite this development, AEW has not entirely severed its connections with TrillerTV. The streaming service continues to broadcast AEW content to international audiences and functions as a distribution partner in certain countries outside the U.S.
Nevertheless, these reported financial challenges at Triller could prompt other professional wrestling organizations to re-evaluate their own agreements with the platform, particularly if concerns arise regarding the security of payments and the overall stability of the service.
