MLW finally gets the streaming deal it sued WWE over

When Court Bauer’s Major League Wrestling hit WWE with a federal anti-trust lawsuit in 2022, its case was based on media right deals with Vice TV and Fox-owned Tubi that MLW alleged it lost out on due to WWE’s “anti-competitive behavior”. That suit was settled for $20 million a couple years later, and we haven’t seen any signs of hostility between the two companies since, and no word of an official partnership like WWE has with TNA. But there have even been signs the old legal foes could be on the same side of our current and seemingly industry-wide wrestling war. Recently, those have included Baron Corbin’s run of double duty on Fusion and SmackDown, and the Tessa Blanchard flap that’s played out between Bauer’s fed and AEW-ally CMLL. And who knows if that has anything to do with MLW finally partnering up with Tubi. WWE does stream its developmental-for-developmental show Evolve on the service, but AEW’s FAST channel is on Tubi as well. Fusion also streams on AEW-ally New Japan’s NJPW
