They Didn't Do It: AEW Reportedly Frustrated Over Broadcast Issues

Can you blame them? There are a lot of things that go into making a wrestling broadcast work and some of them are things that you would not think of most of the time. As a result, it makes a bigger impact when one of them goes wrong. That was the situation this week in multiple situations and now it seems that some of the people involved are not thrilled with what happened.

This week’s AEW Dynamite featured a segment involving Adam Cole, Roderick Strong and the Kingdom. The segment originally aired without audio on the TBS feed of the show, though it was aired later with the audio correct. This continues a trend of audio and technical issues with the show since its inception. According to Fightful Select, there was a lot of frustration behind the scenes in AEW, as they were blamed for the problems when there was nothing they could have done. In addition, the show was listed in the wrong time slot, resulting in viewers’ recording of the show not working properly.

It was a good show. Check out the segment, plus some more of Dynamite:

Opinion: The frustration makes sense and is rather warranted in this situation, as AEW isn’t causing these problems but is receiving most of the blame for the issues. There isn’t much that they can do here, as they presented the show as planned and someone airing it messed up. Unfortunately they are kind of stuck holding the bag for the whole thing, despite it being beyond their control.
