10 Biggest AEW Scandals
7. Angry Fans Attempt To Make The Dominos Fall
As part of the Labours of Jericho, MJF recruited death match folk hero Nick Gage to slice up his arch-nemesis.
It was a fabulous bit of business; outside of some clumsy, immersion-breaking assembly in the first half of the match, Jericho and Gage worked a gruesome, undiluted version of the latter's speciality, which Jericho won in part by using his superior athleticism. He expressed this with an awesome hurricanrana executed on a pane of glass. The finish was incredible, too; Jericho misted Gage in a spot that both protected Gage's aura and was all the more awesome for how out-of-character it was.
This wasn't the story in the aftermath; in an amusing coincidence, just as Gage teased using the pizza cutter, an advert for Dominos screened in picture-in-picture. Two things happened subsequently: some people had a bit of fun with the happenstance, whereas some deranged WWE fans grassed AEW up to the chain. Dominos issued a statement claiming that the company was "assessing its presence" on the show, leading to fears of a destructive chain reaction.
There was no mass advertiser exodus because, and this is wild, making money is of more importance than selling a made-up bad faith moral panic that was always going to go away very quickly.
