Serious Problem At This Week’s AEW Dynamite Almost Put Show In Danger

Talk about a dark match. There are a lot of matches taped at an AEW event, as the company films not only Dynamite, but also Rampage and Dark: Elevation. That makes for a rather long night as there is so much stuff to cover at once. The same time frame was in place this week, but things were delayed as there was a situation in the building that made the match a little more difficult.

According to Wrestling Observer Radio, there was a power failure at this week’s Dynamite taping, which caused some changed to the Dark: Elevation schedule. During a match between Max Caster and Cheeseburger, the power went out near the entrance and at the commentary desk. The match was able to finish, but the following match between Nyla Rose and Skye Blue could not be taped, resulting in it just being for the live audience. The show’s scheduled main event was then taped after Dynamite and before Rampage. The problem was fixed before Dynamite went on the air at 8pm EST.

Opinion: That certainly could have been worse and it is great that AEW got things together in time. I’m not sure what happened but it is possible that the problem was not their fault, which does make things a bit better. It could be interesting to see how the Caster vs. Cheeseburger match goes with the power going out halfway through, but at least everything worked out well in the end.
