- On today's episode of MLW Radio, which is available on iTunes, Konnan detailed AAA's interest in returning to iPPV in 2014. The plan is to feature most – if not all – of their major 2014 shows on iPPV. However, it is yet to be determined who they will partner with to provide the streamed events. Last year, they made TripleMania available via Ustream.tv, a service New Japan and UFC have used to make their events available in the past.
Also on the show, Konnan's co-host, former WWE Creative Executive Court Bauer discusses what it is like when you have to re-write RAW as the show is about to go live and breaks down the CM Punk-WWE situation.
