FITE Plus is always looking to expand.
FITE Plus has become arguably the top home for independent wrestling as GCW, AIW, REVOLVER, and more promotions are part of the subscription package. FITE also hosts l🍒ive events for AAA and NJPW, plus is the ౠinternational home for AEW.
Speaki༺ng on the , 🎃FITE CEO Mike Weber said they are in talks with more promotions.
"We're in conversation with at least three or four more maintstream wrestling companies that will be moving onto there [FITE Plus], or hopefully moving on. It's coming together pretty good," he said.
When asked about the possibility of adding more lucha promotions, Weber responded, "We are working with AAA. We have a show with them March 15 and another in April, which are stand alone pay-per-views. We've been working with them for about the last year. Good people, we love working with them. Working some of the kinks out on communication, production, stuff like that. Probably the next step, hopefully by the end of this year, we'll be able to start working with them, hopefully on Fite Plus. We have to get through some of these events with them. We have four events scheduled for this year. New Japan is in that same area. We've been working with New Japan for awhile, had a very succesful show with them in San Jose. We have their April event in DC. Working through some of the kinks on those events and then the next progression is to put past events on FITE Plus as well."
One promotion that has bounced around from platform to platform i♋s MLW. The promotion has aired o꧋n BeIN Sport, YouTube, Pro Wrestling TV, and DAZN. MLW Underground currently airs on REELZ, but will reportedly finish up its run in April.
Asked about MLW potentially landing on FITE, Weber replied, "We have attempted to try and work a deal together, and frankly just haven't been able to. It doesn't mean we won't in the future. The door is wide open for the both of us, but it has to work for both of us. The deal has to make the right business sense. Their product is on the rise, we love their product. We have done, as recently as a few weeks ago, conversations about filling in the blanks as REELZ is just in the US. MLW Underground has interest internationally. Here we are, we have an international platform. MLW has great potential and we would love to have them on our platform, but we have to get a deal we're both happy with."
REELZ put out a statement saying no decision has been🌊 made regarding the fut🌜ure of MLW.
Alo🐟ng with wrestling, FITE is the home of MMA and boxing events as well.
