AEW has filed a lawsuit against TrillerTV and its parent company, Triller Group, Inc., alleging the streaming platform owes Tony Khan\u2019s wrestling company just under $5 million in unpaid revenue from AEW pay-per-view sales and from proceeds for the now-discontinued AEW Plus subscription service.<\/p>\n
AEW\u2019s lawsuit was filed on April 29 in Duval County Court in Florida. The legal complaint alleges TrillerTV\u2019s parent company used AEW-derived revenues to fund other businesses \u2014 including a social media platform that never took off \u2014 rather than paying AEW what it was owed.<\/p>\n
\u201c[Triller Group Inc.\u2019s] strategy of robbing revenues generated by TrillerTV\u2019s distribution of AEW content to cover other of Defendants\u2019 operating expenses (much of which was spent on the social media platform endeavor) negatively impacted its relationship with and payments owed to AEW,\u201d AEW\u2019s attorneys wrote in the lawsuit.<\/p>\n
But a few weeks before AEW filed its case, a separate lawsuit was brought by TrillerTV itself against its own parent, Triller Group, Inc. The two cases, read together, reveal a more complete picture of Triller\u2019s financial and corporate troubles, which have also been evident from regulatory filings in recent months.<\/p>\n
Flipps Media Inc., the corporate entity underlying TrillerTV, told the Delaware Chancery Court that the company is insolvent, meaning it\u2019s unable to pay its debts. Flipps says the company lacks a board of directors, a fact that prevents it from filing for bankruptcy. Flipps is asking the Court to declare that its officers are its board of directors so Flipps can consider whether bankruptcy is in the best interests of the company and its creditors.<\/p>\n
Judging by its website, TrillerTV is still operating and has many upcoming live events<\/a> listed on its streaming schedule.<\/p>\n According to Flipps\u2019 lawsuit, TrillerTV has been abandoned by Triller Group. The filing says the company is currently being operated by CEO Kostadin Jordanov and President and COO Eric Winter. An email sent to Adam Bigwood was responded to with an out-of-office message stating he no longer works for the company. Bigwood formerly worked as Chief Content Officer for TrillerTV. A source familiar with his position at the company informed POST Wrestling that Bigwood\u2019s last day was on April 30.<\/p>\n In response to a request for comment, Triller responded to POST Wrestling with a statement attributed to the CEO of Triller Group, Inc., Wing-Fai Ng:<\/p>\n \u201cWe take these reports seriously and are reviewing the legal matter thoroughly,\u201d Ng stated. \u201cAt this time, Triller Group Inc. has no comment.\u201d<\/p>\n AEW launched MyAEW<\/a>, its own streaming platform in partnership with Kiswe, in March 2026, replacing much of what TrillerTV offered international wrestling fans for nearly seven years through AEW Plus, which was formally discontinued<\/a> on TrillerTV last month.<\/p>\n Lawsuit discloses revenue splits<\/p>\n AEW\u2019s lawsuit details a business relationship with the streaming platform formerly known as FITE that mostly functioned well \u2014 \u201caside from some slow payments\u201d \u2014 until 2024, the same year the streamer was merged into its current parent company.<\/p>\n At that point, AEW says, Triller \u201ccould (and did) use the revenues Flipps [TrillerTV\/FITE] generated from its distribution of AEW content to pay for other operational expenses.\u201d<\/p>\n AEW content drove 24%<\/a> of all Triller Group revenue in 2024, according to a Triller Group SEC filing.<\/p>\n AEW\u2019s lawsuit also revealed how net revenues \u2014 after sales tax and app store fees \u2014 with TrillerTV were divided. Court documents submitted by AEW\u2019s attorneys indicate AEW was due 75% of the net revenue from domestic pay-per-view sales and 65% of the net revenue from international sales. That was a split established in mid-2019. Before that, for AEW\u2019s earliest pay-per-views, the net revenues were shared 50\/50.<\/p>\n For AEW Plus, the wrestling company got 60% of net revenue, with Triller getting the other 40%.<\/p>\n AEW alleges that the parent Triller Group exploited the gap in timing between the point of sale and when payments to AEW were due. AEW says it sent written demands for payment to Triller in each of January and March 2025. An April 2026 legal demand letter shows AEW\u2019s outside counsel claiming $4,988,989.13 in payments were owed by Triller and that the amount is continuing to accrue interest at a rate of 2% per month, in accordance with a contract which has also been filed in the case.<\/p>\n \u201cDefendants failed to make the full payment due on March 1, 2025, paying a fraction of the total amount owed \u2014 despite the remittance being a mere percentage of the total revenue Defendants collected and had in its coffers <\/b>from AEW viewers before wrongfully spending it on other ventures and expenses,\u201d (emphasis original) AEW counsel wrote.<\/p>\n TrillerTV was formerly known as FITE and has streamed numerous wrestling companies\u2019 shows, as well as other sports events, since the 2010s. The streaming company was acquired by Triller in 2021<\/a>. Triller was then merged with publicly-traded financial services business AGBA in October 2024<\/a>, which led to the creation of Triller Group Inc.<\/p>\n Among TrillerTV, a social media business, and the Hong Kong-based finance company, Triller Group contains a variety of corporate entities, as outlined in the Delaware complaint.<\/p>\n
