AEW Ended Match During Commercial Break To Educate Their Audience

During Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that the Orange Cassidy vs Jack Evans match ended just as planned. This was not an issue of timing getting out of hand, because AEW was educating their audience.

“It was planned I will tell you […] It’s something you should do once every now and then. When I first saw it, my first thought was ‘oh my god, they messed up the timing,’ and then you know, I basically checked and ‘no, this went according to plan this went as it was supposed to.'”
