AEW President Tony Khan announced that the promotion would stream a free special on Bleacher Report featuring Riho vs. Thunder Rosa in a Semi-Final bout for the AEW Women's Eliminator Tournament on Sunday 2/28. I believe the Semi-Final of the Japan Bracket (which will be determined this Monday) will also be part of the special. This would not be part of the Bleacher Report Live site that carries AEW PPVs but the main Bleacher Report website, obviously being done as a promotional push for the Revolution PPV the next week. The winners of those bouts would move on to Tournament Final live on Dynamite on 3/3. The Eliminator Tournament winner will challenge AEW Women's Champion Hikaru Shida on Sunday 3/7 at the Revolution 2021, which will air live on PPV, Bleacher Report Live and FITE.TV internationally.
Khan's announcement reads:
The #AEW Women’s World Championship Eliminator Tournament USA semifinal bout featuring former @AEW Women’s World Champion Riho vs. former @nwa Women’s World Champion Thunder Rosa streams on @BleacherReport on February 28th on a free Sunday Special, one week before Revolution ppv!

This will be free worldwide for all fans on @BleacherReport, not @BRLive for this show, back on BRLive domestic/FITE a week later for Revolution. It’s huge to get exposure on Bleacher Report available to millions of fans worldwide + a reminder Revolution is Sunday 3/7, not on Sat

With @BleacherReport’s 9.4M Twitter + 14.8M Instagram followers, it’s a huge opportunity to introduce @AEW & our great wrestlers to new fans by streaming such a high stakes bout between 2 of the best as part of a free Sunday Special. Thank you @BleacherReport for teaming with us

TNT will broadcast a Countdown to Revolution special on Wednesday 3/3 at 10 PM EST. The one hour special will follow the episode where Shaq teams with Jade Cargill against Cody Rhodes and Red Velvet.
