Tony Khan was set to make history with AEW Revolution as it is the home for The Icon Sting’s last match in pro wrestling. While millions want to see the legend battle it out with The Young Bucks, many cannot. This is due to the streaming issues the PPV faced while airing. On social media, Khan acknowledged the issue and claimed it was being fixed. This PPV meant a lot for AEW and these kinds of streaming issues hamper the overall view count of the show. In his hopes of competing with the WWE, Khan would not like to have these issues.

Many fans tagged Khan while complaining about streaming errors and issues. This is damage control on Khan’s part to ensure that Revolution gets a good number of views amidst a landmark episode of pro wrestling. Fans reported buffering, pixelation, and complete blackouts throughout the broadcast, interrupting the flow of the matches and dampening the overall viewing experience.

While AEW officials acknowledged the problems and apologized to viewers, the technical glitches left a mark on what was otherwise a star-studded event. The ending of the show would enrage fans even further during Sting’s retirement speech. However, Khan or the production team could not be blamed for this.
