3. Really Poor Time To Go Pic-In-Pic

The timing on these ad breaks is legit rubbish.

All Elite went to picture-in-picture right after Will Ospreay hit a dive on Lee Moriarty and pointed at Roderick Strong behind the commentary desk. Of course, going to ads meant fans watching missed the entire verbal exchange between two guys who are wrestling on the next pay-per-view. Awkward.

It would've been lovely to hear what Ospreay and Strong were bickering about, but the tiny box on the right hand side of the screen was muted whilst Jon Moxley yakked on about being tough. This is another issue with AEW's presentation - they spend lots of time telling you what's next instead of focusing on what's in front of you in the moment.

That makes it harder for segments to feel important, which is a damn shame when Ospreay is one of the biggest new-hires in the company and somebody who will probs be headlining PPVs sooner rather than later. Tony needs to sort out this crappy timing, and quickly.
