This wasn't good.

Before the main event six-man tag, the announcers could be heard going over their notes on the Fite TV stream. At one point, Jim Ross got a bit flustered at the information (or lack thereof) coming through his headset and said, "We don't need to say the names we see on the f*cking graphics. Got it!".

Admittedly, there was a slightly sarcastic tone to his voice, so maybe this is nothing. Still, regardless of whether there was any tension, it's rather unprofessional of AEW to keep airing this sort of insert. It's entertaining as hell for those who like a little more behind the curtain stuff, but it hurts the live broadcast and shouldn't be happening. AEW could easily shut their mics off.
