Beyond the Pay-Per-View: How Kiswe Is Powering Three Unique Fan Experiences For AEW Revolution

This Sunday, AEW Revolution descends upon the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. While fans are bracing for the high-stakes Texas Deathmatch, the real revolution is happening behind the scenes in how the event is delivered via cloud-based video distribution to global audiences.

At Kiswe, we believe every fan should be able to experience live events and interact with content in a manner best suited to them. Some want the couch to themselves, some want to host a watch party at a local bar, and others want a deeper connection to their favorite brand or league.

For the first time, Kiswe will be powering three distinct digital experiences for three different partners for this year’s Revolution pay-per-view event, proving that the future of sports and entertainment distribution is about meeting each fan exactly where they are.

Transactional Livestreams: PPV.COM

Some fans prefer a "no strings attached" model without recurring fees. These viewers can purchase a single event through our longstanding partners at PPV.COM.

• The Experience: This pure pay-per-view model allows fans to purchase the event as a standalone experience. To create a more interactive viewing experience, the stream’s chat feature will be hosted by AEW’s Mason Madden and Mansoor.
• The Kiswe Difference: Our industry leading engagement features enable PPV.COM to get creative with the live experience, driving brand loyalty despite the lack of a subscription option, by having AEW talent interact with fans during the event.

Commercial Venue Streaming: Joe Hand Promotions

Through the Joe Hand Promotions app, powered by Kiswe, we are bridging the gap between digital distribution and in-real-life (IRL) experiences.

• The Experience: Bars and restaurants across North America can officially license and stream AEW Revolution directly from the Joe Hand Promotions app, turning their space into a communal viewing venue, allowing AEW fans to enjoy Revolution in person.
• The Kiswe Difference: Distributing to thousands of commercial venues requires a flexible and scalable cloud based infrastructure. Built with our Kiswe Core platform, the Joe Hand Promotions app allows commercial businesses to quickly and reliably license content and synchronize the playback across all in-house screens. 

Immersive Subscription Platform: MyAEW

For fans outside of North America, the experience has been completely reimagined through the brand new MyAEW platform. This isn't just a streaming platform. MyAEW is an immersive digital experience built for fans looking to get the most AEW access possible.

• The Experience: International fans can sign up for a monthly subscription that includes pay-per-view access, a massive archive of past events, exclusive behind-the-scenes content, and a 24/7 FAST channel.
• The Kiswe Difference: By utilizing our white-label D2C technology, AEW now owns the relationship with its biggest supporters, allowing it to deliver the ultimate fan experience unlike anything customers receive by watching on other third party distributors.

Why Multi-Channel Distribution is the Winning Play

This multi-channel scenario highlights a massive shift in the OTT and streaming industry. By using a single, powerful backend to feed three unique front-end experiences, rights holders can:

1. Maximize Reach: Capture the casual fan, the super fan, and the social viewer simultaneously.
2. Optimize Monetization: Deploy different pricing models for different markets (Commercial vs. International vs. Domestic).
3. Ensure Reliability: Provide a flawless stream whether it’s for one person on a phone or 200 people in a crowded sports bar.
