All Elite Wrestling has uploaded its latest Women's World Championship Eliminator Tournament show to YouTube following international streaming issues on the Bleacher Report platform.

Though AEW president Tony Khan had been told the show would air on Bleacher Report for US-based and international viewers, though it seems like those viewing from abroad had issues, leading to AEW putting the show on YouTube:-

Bleacher Report was AEW's latest distribution platform for a tournament that had already featured on YouTube and as part of regular Dynamite broadcasts on TNT.

AEW had made the decision to put last night's all-women show on BR after Riho and Serena Deeb's first-round bout featured in the most-watched quarter-hour of the 17 February Dynamite, attracting 789,000 viewers. The upswing continued on Dynamite's 24 February episode, with Britt Baker vs. Nyla Rose pulling in 866,000 viewers, winning the night.

Last night's show saw Ryu Mizunami advance to the finals, which go down on this week's Dynamite. She'll meet either Nyla Rose or Thunder Rosa (who beat Riho last night), with the winner advancing to face Women's Champion Hikaru Shida at Revolution 2021 this weekend.

Here's the third Women's World Championship Eliminator tournament episode in full:-
