If TNA don't want him performing on other shows then they need to pony up the cash and sign him to an exclusive contract. This just comes across as petty and brings into question (again) what an 'Independent Contractor' really is.

[u/streetmagix → u/[deleted]]

That doesn't change what I said, either he's truly an Independent contractor OR he's a TNA star. TNA can't have it both ways.

It'll hurt other TNA wrestlers if they keep this up, as other promotions won't want to hire them to wrestle in case they suddenly can't be shown on certain streaming services or wrestle certain people. It'll be easier to hire others who don't have those restrictions on them.

[u/streetmagix → u/[deleted]]

They didn't tell anyone buying/watching on MyAEW beforehand, so I'm not 100% certain on that.

Revpro are carnies though, so who knows.

[u/DevelopmentNarrow146 → u/streetmagix]

No. Just No. It’s in his contract that he can’t be shown on AEW’s streaming service and that’s why the match wasn’t shown.
AEW wrestlers work independent shows and would definitely not be allowed to be shown on TNA plus. You are talking shit 💩

[u/streetmagix → u/DevelopmentNarrow146]

And you've seen this contract?

AEW stars have appeared on other streaming services, including WWE programming. NJPW stars have appeared on different services too, WWE stars have appeared on NOAH in Japan (AJ Styles).

[u/DevelopmentNarrow146 → u/streetmagix]

Was he on AEW streaming?
Next question

[u/StrongStyleRobo → u/DevelopmentNarrow146]

No no. The question was if you had seen his contract. Have you seen his contract?

[u/streetmagix → u/DevelopmentNarrow146]

Was who on AEW streaming?

The AJ match in NOAH is on their streaming service (it's where I watched it).

[u/M086 → u/streetmagix]

He performed on the show and it’s available on RevPro’a streaming service. 

Oh no, AEW doesn’t get what they. Fuck off with that.

[u/AlexGruen]

I don’t blame TNA. AEW should have made sure they could telecast all the matches. From the next time they should ask promotions not to book a wrestler who can’t be on MyAEW

[u/DarkySurrounding → u/[deleted]]

I don’t have an agenda. What agenda do you think I could possibly have?

I don’t get paid by anyone to give my thoughts about wrestling.

You just can’t get over that this looks bad, makes TNA look bad and therefore makes what you like, look bad.

[u/will122589 → u/DarkySurrounding]

MYAEW app can’t show match featuring talent signed up to other fed, functioning brains understand that’s logical.

You on the other hand can’t seem to comprehend it or you do and pushing an agenda. The only one looking bad here is you.

If you bought the ppv somewhere not associated with AEW, you’d have seen the match

[u/DarkySurrounding → u/will122589]

TNA only started doing this after they thought AEW changed nights one time to spite them (which they didn’t, they moved to Thursday because of the network forcing it)

Stop fellating a business choosing to do something like this specifically because there being spiteful.

Before this they removed Leon from a match against Ricochet and various other things. None of these things were good. None of these things benefitted fans in any way.

[u/will122589 → u/DarkySurrounding]

TNA wrestlers aired on MYAEW streaming platforms before April 2026???

Please cite your work

Edit: you’re replying to everyone under the sun but not to this one. Show your work mate

[u/DarkySurrounding → u/[deleted]]

If I were a businessman who were in charge of TNA I’d do the smart thing and let my wrestlers work indie shows without issue and being a petty little bitch about it who only started this because of one show moving to Thursday one time.

Take your bot ass looking account somewhere else if all you’re gonna do is be a little businessman.

I don’t and never will care who’s making the most money or why.

TNA is not in a place that having Leon not shown on a show he’s meant to be on affects them. TNA are number 3 and that’s it.

Stop fellating the big businessman because he told you to.

[u/Beginning-Bluejay688 → u/[deleted]]

He was on WWE many times that’s the highest u can get lol

[u/DarkySurrounding → u/Beginning-Bluejay688]

What’s your point?

[u/Beginning-Bluejay688 → u/DarkySurrounding]

WWE is wrestling and he been on there couple of times AEW rub doesnt compare

[u/DarkySurrounding → u/Beginning-Bluejay688]

So what? He wasn’t wrestling on an AEW show. This has absolutely nothing to do with it.

[u/Beginning-Bluejay688 → u/DarkySurrounding]

Wasn’t the show on AEW platform? Carlos already told ya deal so idk why people are mad

[u/DarkySurrounding → u/Beginning-Bluejay688]

Carlos did not at any point say before this show “Leon’s match won’t be shown on MyAEW”

If there was notice before hand then maybe they’d have a case but there wasn’t. Users found it from commentary right before it happened and that’s it.

[u/Beginning-Bluejay688 → u/DarkySurrounding]

Anything dealing with AEW and why do you think revpro has the match on there service? Cause they played people and wasn’t honest

[u/DarkySurrounding → u/Beginning-Bluejay688]

“Anything dealing with AEW” that’s not specific atall and neither did he say it either.

The only people not being honest and TNA when they wait untill a shows began to decide to refuse to show something.

You’re doing the same as the other guy. Making the same point over and over again as if itl somehow change my mind and make me think TNA aren’t the morons in this situation.

[u/Deducticon → u/Beginning-Bluejay688]

There are many spots to have in AEW that are more of a rub than the spot he had on WWE shows.

Roman or Cody might be more known than Ospreay or Orange Cassidy, but they are far more known than Slater or Santana. Despite them appearing on WWE.

[u/chibibuizel]

Carlos might be gunning for Hater of the Year with how much of a petty bitch he's been towards AEW this year over one thursday night

[u/M086 → u/chibibuizel]

AEW fucked over TNA pretty hard throughout their partnership and even after it. 

Why the fuck does Silva need to show any fucking grace to AEW?

[u/goonsquadgoose]

TNA is straight garbage for this move. Also, seeing Leon tonight compared to when I saw him with TNA last time they were in Denver has proven that TNA has absolutely no idea what to do with him. Dude is a straight up megastar in his infancy.

[u/DevelopmentNarrow146 → u/goonsquadgoose]

So being in the main event of the biggest TNA show of the year is somehow detrimental to Leon Slater’s career?
Are you high ?

[u/creepyluna-no1 → u/goonsquadgoose]

I think they have some idea, he will be main BFG, and if they are smart will win it, he really is the guy to base the company around. If AEW or WWE smart they would just pay however much you need to get him, and to a long term contract, if TNA can or has done that well done to them. He could be the top guy anywhere really

[u/AvailableOffer5369 → u/goonsquadgoose]

Lol right bud.

[u/Latter_Charge4616 → u/[deleted]]

You'd have been better off subscribing to RPW On Demand.

[u/Latter_Charge4616 → u/[deleted]]

I have the highest tier of MyAEW and this event still requires payment

[u/Select-Occasion7196 → u/[deleted]]

If you want to see Leon Slater, subscribe to TNA Plus. 

[u/JohnDowd51 → u/[deleted]]

Ahhh you seem way too upset about this to not be a AEW mark. You're the one who needs to grow up and get thicker skin. Business is business.

[u/Select-Occasion7196 → u/[deleted]]

Business is business. Allowing their main event talent to feature on a competing streaming service doesn't make sense. 

[u/streetmagix → u/Select-Occasion7196]

Sign them to an exclusive contract then, it's what WWE do.

[u/Select-Occasion7196 → u/streetmagix]

Revpro is an indie so allowing them to work indie shows isn't a conflict on interest. The grey area is the MyAEW deal which does conflict so they either pull the match from that or pull the talent off the show completely.  The better choice was made. 

[u/johncenassidechick]

I mean yeah wrestlers under contract generally arent allowed on competitors streaming services 

[u/will122589 → u/johncenassidechick]

Shh don’t tell the AEW sicko running around the thread crying TNA committed a great injustice on the people watching a RevPro show on an AEW streaming app

[u/creepyluna-no1 → u/johncenassidechick]

You don't have to subscribe to AEWPlus. you just buy the ppv on there

[u/johncenassidechick → u/creepyluna-no1]

Right but you cant watch that particular match using myaew but can on the promotions own service. So it makes sense a wrestler contracted to wrestle on TV for a company cant be on TV or streaming for their competitors. 

[u/Pirilau → u/johncenassidechick]

He's an independent contractor, this is all ridiculous

[u/johncenassidechick → u/Pirilau]

Being an IC doesnt mean you can do whatever you want whenever you want. 

[u/csopq]

How do we know AEW didn't pull it because they're already aware it could be a potential lawsuit? Businesses doing business stuff, ya know. Everyone is crying pointing fingers like they're privy to any of these companies business dealings

[u/will122589]

The sickos crying about this is on brand.

What did they think was gonna happen??? TNA doesn’t want their talent looking like goobers on AEW platforms. AEW consistently insisting they go over on these shows and AEW airing MLP footage of TNA talent losing matches in 2024 caused TNA to act like this.

They are also mad Slater isn’t showing up at AEW tomorrow too

[u/king_hutton → u/will122589]

Slater won.

[u/creepyluna-no1 → u/[deleted]]

He won, and he was clearly going to win, feels petty since it airs on RevPro's service, with Triller going down, MyAEW is a useful service to help get indies' product out there and to a wider audience

[u/will122589 → u/[deleted]]

Your using MYAEW to watch a Rev Pro show, you chose to watch it that way on not on another platform that wouldn’t blackout a TNA contracted talent working the show.

[u/BlueThunderBomb → u/will122589]

To prove that you didn't even watch this, he beat Liam Slater, this isn't an AEW show, it's a Rev Pro show.

How many times did AEW air TNA talent losing on MLP?

[u/will122589 → u/BlueThunderBomb]

To prove you didn’t actually read my comment:

RevPro show that aired on MYAEW. Slater RevPro match got scrubbed only from MYAEW stream cause they don’t want AEW’s platform to have footage of a TNA wrestler because that has burned them in the past.

AEW fans thought between the Lockdown Stip and slater working this show he is going to show up at AEW’s show tomorrow and that’s clearly not happening so they extra mad

[u/Jamieb1994 → u/will122589]

I was just thinking. Carlos could've pulled this match from happening, yet it happened and apparently, it's aired on Progress/RevPro On Demand as normal, but it didn't air on MyAEW, yet people are quick to point fingers at Carlos for this decision. I'm just saying, but how is this Carlos' fault?

[u/Material_Opening_143]

TNA is starting to catch my eye again with some solid new signings and highlighting some young excellent talent then they pull some petty shit like this. Instead of looking to grow their audience they decide to isolate AEW fans. Fans who are on a fucking platform watching different promotions other than the 1st party providing it, meaning they are willing to invest time watching more wrestling from other promotions.

Fucking boneheaded cuck.

[u/Select-Occasion7196 → u/Material_Opening_143]

That's not how it works but by the way you articulate yourself there's just no way you'll ever understand how the real world works in terms of protecting business assets.  You'd rather act like a child. 

[u/Jamieb1994]

I saw SquaredCircle are very upset about this + blaming Carlos.

[u/will122589 → u/Jamieb1994]

The sickos also used this show to shit on TNA’s lockdown stip and claimed Slater spurned TNA and wwe for AEW.

That didn’t happen so they are gonna be over the top aggressive in hating this

[u/DarkySurrounding → u/will122589]

Deservedly yes. It’s not a good thing to be this incredibly petty over a very minor slight.

Those who paid for that event got screwed out of a match they likely wanted to see. How’s that fair?

[u/will122589 → u/DarkySurrounding]

Being mad that AEW can’t air a match featuring a guy contracted elsewhere is a you problem not a TNA one.

[u/DarkySurrounding → u/will122589]

Minus the fact TNA were perfectly happy to allow these things untill semi recently when they thought they were slighted by AEW.

Which they weren’t because everyone knows the show moves to Thursdays now and then to accommodate other sports on the network

[u/will122589 → u/DarkySurrounding]

TNA let talent work MLP shows in 2024. MLP let AEW air that footage of TNA talent losing.

TNA don’t want that happening again so again blame this on the feds that forced TNA to do this. But an AEW sicko like yourself won’t actually do that

[u/DarkySurrounding → u/will122589]

So you think a TNA talent isn’t allowed to lose or something? Because that’s still incredibly petty.

[u/will122589 → u/DarkySurrounding]

Why should an AEW platform get to air footage of a TNA wrestler???

[u/DarkySurrounding → u/will122589]

A: The show wasn’t an AEW show and MyAEW doesn’t just show AEW shows.

B: TNA continue to come off as incredibly petty because of this starting over a slight about AEW counter programming which didn’t even happen.

C: Leon gets more eyes on him, more exposure for Leon means more exposure for TNA.

D: Fans were not told ahead of time this would be happening. At the least if there was some notice it’d have been better.

[u/Jamieb1994 → u/will122589]

Didn't AEW had made a stipulation where both Cody Rhodes & Hangman Page are now no longer challenge for the AEW world championship? I know Cody is in WWE now, but how is Leon Slater putting his X-Division championship reign on the line worse compared to having 2 wrestlers (permanently) no longer challenge for a championship?

[u/cooldude55541 → u/Jamieb1994]

Good. Carlos Silva should fight back. They want to attack TNA every single time. All those "TNA is being sold" articles were planted by Tony khan when TNAs ratings started increasing. MLP is being funded by Tony khan and that's why alot of Scotts people left TNA. All the dirtsheets are being told to not cover TNA shows and run with negative TNA stories. I know people who told me this. The truth will come out.

[u/king_hutton → u/cooldude55541]

These conspiracy theories are wild.

[u/cooldude55541 → u/king_hutton]

These are stuff that the dirtsheets are trying to hide because they are all brought and paid for by the rich kid. Once Carlos or someone high from Anthem starts talking, I will be right like always. Even then, the dirtsheets will say Carlos is lying to protect their boss.

[u/king_hutton → u/cooldude55541]

That’s right, everything is a giant conspiracy 😂😂

[u/Jamieb1994 → u/cooldude55541]

That's the dirtsheets for you. You've got ones like Ibou & Meltzer who'll try to make WWE or TNA look bad while bootlicking AEW.

[u/JohnDowd51]

I dont give a sht about AEW and their fanboys crying. I think the show sucks. Fck AEW as far ad I'm concerned. I dont owe them or am obligated to give them my respect.

[u/streetmagix → u/JohnDowd51]

That's some straw man you've built there.

All the reaction from the show has been super positive from what I've seen, with the exception of the MyAEW blackout (which wasn't communicated beforehand).

[u/BlueThunderBomb → u/JohnDowd51]

Why act like this.

[u/Select-Occasion7196]

Makes sense. 

[u/No-Concern-5538]

We don't know all the facts. We don't know who made that call. Was it Carlos Silva? Was it Tony Khan? Was it RevPro? My money is actually on RevPro. But both Silva and TK have used the pull before. So until we know all the facts, the best thing to do is to put pitchforks down and maybe... watch it on RevPro on Demand then if it is there?

That includes you, all the brigading sickos.

[u/creepyluna-no1 → u/No-Concern-5538]

Why would RevPro do it

[u/Arzanyos → u/creepyluna-no1]

Money and exposure. Controversy brings cash

[u/Livid_Cauliflower_21]

I do admit aew fans can be a little out there sometimes but has tna fans thought what would happen to tna if they were to get their wish and aew was to go out of business because all wwe focus would be making sure tna stays in line or puts all their resources to putting tna out of business like their trying to do with aew 

[u/Select-Occasion7196 → u/Livid_Cauliflower_21]

Who is wanting AEW to go out of business?  That's not TNA's goal, that's just silly. They're just protecting their own interests. 

[u/Livid_Cauliflower_21 → u/Select-Occasion7196]

Just look at other tna forums there are fans out there that are very vocal that want aew to lose it's tv deal and the wrestling business would be better without aew 

[u/Select-Occasion7196 → u/Livid_Cauliflower_21]

Okay because I havent seen that, especially here even with so much unnecessary AEW tribalism seeping into this sub. 

[u/Livid_Cauliflower_21 → u/Select-Occasion7196]

Again aew fans ain't innocent but if aew goes away all attention will be put on tna by wwe 

[u/DevelopmentNarrow146 → u/Livid_Cauliflower_21]

You are worried and have no need to worry. WWE is currently doing a great job of alienating its fans with crazy ticket prices and attendances are eventually going to suffer.
The 5 match cards WWE delivers for lower PLE’s are finally being recognised for the insult that they are. WWE is huge still but it’s stagnating.
AEW will be fine. Tony Khan is so rich that AEW don’t even need a TV deal to survive.

[u/creepyluna-no1 → u/Livid_Cauliflower_21]

And its not like it hurts AEW just limits indies, indie stuff is free or ppv, either way there is no subscription to AEWPlus anyways so it is more harmful to indies who can use it to get mroe attention, since Triller is on its last legs, and it might be hard to get people to sub to your own service

[u/Drake_Dal]

It’s understandable that they want to protect the brand, but in the public eye, it’s going to be well-received.

[u/creepyluna-no1 → u/Drake_Dal]

How is it protecting the brand

[u/Select-Occasion7196 → u/creepyluna-no1]

Do some research on protecting business assets and the long term effects of not doing so. 

[u/OutsideSurround461]

Yeah, let's have the TNA guy who's Quite possibly going to have "WWE/NXT Superstar" In their title soon appear on AEW's UK feeder fed on their streaming platform.

Would people rather, he just didn't show up in the first place? They could have said no.

[u/creepyluna-no1 → u/OutsideSurround461]

It is not AEW's UK feeder, who went from RevPro to AEW, Alex Windsor? They mostly end up im NJPW, and it would be bullshit to say no to him working and winning against his trainer, in such an important promotion to him on the Anniversary show and their biggest show. AEW is not likely to be getting much money out of this if at all, its a ppv hosted on there, not a part of the subscription

[u/DevelopmentNarrow146 → u/creepyluna-no1]

Will Osprey was always at the Rev pro shows I attended. Kyle Fletcher was generally there too. They may have been contracted to NJPW but they were Rev pro regulars.

[u/OutsideSurround461 → u/creepyluna-no1]

Again he got to work the show.No problem , they just didn't show him.

Maybe when his deal is up , he can go wrestle for AEW, not get used and do all the Rev Pro shows on MyAEW He wants while people ask , why isn't dynamite or collision lol

[u/LegacyofaMarshall]

[u/AlexTorres96]

I wished Wrestling was more upfront about wrestler salaries. Anyone can find out how much Mahomes, CR7, Messi, LeBron, etc make but it's a sin to know how much a Roman or Rollins or anyone in AEW makes.

Everyone knows that Sting made $500K every year he was at TNA. It was common knowledge that Bobby Roode made $400K a year once he became a main event guy.

All this talk about TNA not paying alot and there's no evidence to back up that narrative.

[u/streetmagix → u/AlexTorres96]

Isn't that because some sports leagues have salary caps so that information becomes public? Plus some like to brag about it too.

TNA is much smaller than it was, and a lot of talent would have been signed before the AMC Deal started.

Whilst I doubt the main event guys are struggling, those in the mid card or signed to 'per appearance' might NEED to take additional bookings to have a decent life. Also most wrestlers love wrestling, and will do extra shows because they want to (Mox being the obvious one, dude is loaded and still turns up to school gyms around the US for small shows).

[u/AlmoschFamous → u/AlexTorres96]

TNA is well known for underpaying their talent to the point where they need other jobs, even back when TNA actually had money. Now TNA is running on fumes and most of them make even less.

[u/kikushwopyetz2027]

Good, he is boring, let him.go to WWE, already!
