All Elite Wrestling has filed a lawsuit against TrillerTV and parent company Triller Group Inc., alleging the streaming service failed to pay nearly $5 million owed from pay-per-view sales and AEW Plus subscription revenue.

The lawsuit was filed on April 29 in Duval County Court in Florida and centers around allegations that Triller Group diverted money generated from AEW programming toward unrelated business operations instead of honoring contractual payment obligations.

According to the complaint, AEW claims revenue connected to TrillerTV’s distribution of AEW events and subscriptions was used to support other ventures, including an unsuccessful social media platform project.

AEW’s attorneys stated in the filing:

“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 Claims TrillerTV Owes Nearly $5 Million

The legal filing also outlined the financial structure of the partnership between AEW and TrillerTV dating back to 2019.

Under the agreement reached in mid-2019, AEW reportedly received 75 percent of net domestic pay-per-view revenue and 65 percent of international pay-per-view revenue. Earlier AEW pay-per-views had reportedly operated under a 50-50 split arrangement.

For the AEW Plus subscription service, AEW allegedly received 60 percent of net revenue while TrillerTV retained the remaining 40 percent.

The lawsuit noted that AEW programming represented approximately 24 percent of Triller Group’s overall revenue during 2024 according to SEC filings.

An April 2026 legal demand letter from AEW’s outside counsel reportedly stated that Triller owed $4,988,989.13, with the contract allegedly including interest charges of two percent per month on unpaid balances.

AEW also claims the company sent written payment demands in January and March 2025 before escalating the matter to court.

TrillerTV Financial Issues Continue To Grow

The situation became even more complicated after a separate lawsuit filed by TrillerTV against its own parent company surfaced weeks before AEW’s filing.

According to that case, Flipps Media Inc., the corporate entity behind TrillerTV, reportedly informed Delaware Chancery Court that it is insolvent and unable to pay its debts. The filing also claimed the company currently lacks a functioning board of directors, preventing it from formally filing for bankruptcy protection.

A Delaware Vice Chancellor reportedly approved an expedited proceeding request due to the seriousness of the financial situation.

TrillerTV originally launched as FITE during the 2010s before being acquired by Triller in 2021. The company later merged with publicly traded financial services company AGBA in October 2024, creating Triller Group Inc.

The company’s financial issues reportedly worsened after it was delisted from the Nasdaq exchange last December for failing to submit financial reports on time. Although trading was briefly restored on April 15, another delisting notice reportedly followed just two days later after the company’s stock price fell below Nasdaq’s minimum requirements.

As of Monday, Triller Group stock was reportedly trading at approximately 25 cents per share.

Meanwhile, AEW has already moved forward with a new streaming strategy. In March 2026, the promotion launched the MyAEW platform in partnership with Kiswe, replacing much of the international content previously available through AEW Plus before the service was officially discontinued last month.
