It has to be said that a few production blunders were to be expected of a fledgling company still finding their feet on the televised stage.

However, fast forward nearly three years on from AEW's TV debut and Tony Khan's company still has an unfortunate habit of falling short when it comes to the effectiveness of certain high-profile stunts and execution of live TV.

From timing issues resulting in hastily rushing off the air or should-be career-making moments not being given room to breathe - like Wardlow's recent TNT title win - to Chris Jericho's recent bump onto a barbed wire platform not quite delivering a shocking visual due to feeling a touch cheap and less punishing than other elements in his Barbed Wire Everywhere bout with Eddie Kingston, it still feels like AEW haven't quite ironed out all the kinks when it comes to much of their all-round presentation.

Now, this is to be expected of a company who ambitiously aim high and push limits each and every week. But there's no escaping the fact that the All Elite brand loses a touch of sparkle every time these frequent instances of poor time management and other production gaffs rear their heads.
