GCW, Warrior Wrestling now able to stream El Hijo del Vikingo matches
El Hijo del Vikingo matches for independent promotions will now be available on various streaming services.
Previously, AAA was preventing companies such as GCW and Warrior Wrestling from airing his matches live or on-demand. GCW revealed AAA’s policy when announcing Vikingo’s promotional debut last month.
*Please Note* Per AAA Guidelines, Vikingos match will not be streamed. This policy will cover *ALL* of Vikingo’s independent bookings and is in effect until further notice.
However, it now appears AAA’s policy is no longer in effect. Both Warrior Wrestling and GCW announced Thursday evening that upcoming Vikingo matches will now be available to stream.
*BREAKING*
Effective Immediately:
*All* of EL HIJO DEL VIKINGO's matches at GCW will stream LIVE on @FiteTV+!

It had been speculated that AAA’s reason for not allowing promotions to stream Vikingo matches was to keep him fresh for a show they would produce during WrestleMania Week. However, there is reason to believe that show is no longer happening. AAA held a press conference earlier this week announcing several upcoming events but there was no mention of one in Los Angeles during WrestleMania.
