AEW Sues TrillerTV Over $5 Million In Allegedly Unpaid Revenue

AEW is going after TrillerTV for an alleged $5 million in unpaid revenue according to a lawsuit filed late last month. POST Wrestling’s Brandon Thurston reports that AEW filed a the lawsuit on April 29th against TrillerTV and Triller Group, Inc. in Florida’s Duval County Court.

The lawsuit alleges that Triller Group, the parent company of TrillerTV, used revenue from AEW PPV sales and AEW Plus to fund other businesses. These included a social media platform that never found fruition. The lawsuit states:

“[Triller Group Inc.’s] strategy of robbing revenues generated by TrillerTV’s distribution of AEW content to cover other of Defendants’ operating expenses (much of which was spent on the social media platform endeavor) negatively impacted its relationship with and payments owed to AEW.”

AEW’s lawsuit notes that their business relationship worked well outside of “slow payments” until 2024, when TrillerTV was merged into Triller Group. AEW alleges that from that point forward, Triller had the ability to use the revenue generated from AEW content to “pay for other operational expenses.” They are alleging breach of contract, unjust enrichment, tortious interference, and more.

The lawsuit reveals the revenue splits between AEW and Triller. AEW content was responsible for 24% of all Triller Group revenue in 2024, with AEW owed 75% of the net revenue from domestic PPVs and 65% of net revenue from international sales. That share was set up in mid-2019; before that, the net revenue split was 50/50. AEW Plus revenue went 60/40 favoring AEW.

AEW alleges in the suit that Triller Group took advantage of the delay between point of sale and payments due to AEW to use the revenue elsewhere. AEW sent written demands for payment in January and March of 2025, and says that Triller paid a fraction of the total amount owned on March 1st. AEW sent a legal demand in April for $4,988,989.13 in owed payments.

As it turns out, this is the second recent lawsuit filed against TrillerTV. The first was filed by its own parent company Triller Group, Inc. Flipps Media Inc., which is the company underlying TrillerTV, filed the suit in Delaware Chancery Court and alleged that the company is insolvent (and thus unable to pay debts). Flipps stated that they have no board of directors and thus cannot file for bankruptcy, and is asking the Court to declare its officers as a board of directors so they can explore the possibility of bankruptcy.

Flipps’ suit says that Triller Group has abandoned TrillerTV, with the company currently operated by CEO Kostadin Jordanov and President and COO Eric Winter. Former TrillerTV CCO Adam Bigwood reportedly exited the company on April 30th.

TrillerTV’s website is still active and has several live events still to come listed

Triller told POST Wrestling in a statement:

“We take these reports seriously and are reviewing the legal matter thoroughly. At this time, Triller Group Inc. has no comment.”

AEW launched its own streaming platform MyAEW in March. AEW Plus was discontinued in April.
