This week’s episode of AEW Dynamite featured the highly anticipated Blood & Guts match between The Inner Circle and The Pinnacle, and the match took up the majority of the show’s second hour.
There were a number of fans in attendance for the show at Daily’s Place, but it sounds like at least five fans who paid for tickets asked for a refund.
Dave Meltzer explained on Wrestling Observer Radio that due to the time it would take to set up the two rings with the Blood & Guts structure, AEW taped the first hour of the show last week.
Fans were shown the first hour of the show on the big screen, and AEW President Tony Khan told them that their crowd noise would be used for TV. However, Khan also explained that if some fans weren’t aware that the first hour of the show had already been taped, and if they were unhappy with those circumstances they could ask for refunds.
“And when the show started, Tony Khan before the cameras went on, just goes, ‘Okay, this is the situation, the first hour of this show is taped, we’re gonna be playing it on the screens. However, your crowd noise is going to be the crowd noise in this match, so cheer and boo like you would’.
“So the crowd noise was not fake crowd noise, it was the real crowd noise from this crowd, but the matches themselves were taped a couple of weeks ago. And he (Tony Khan) explained before that, ‘If for some reason you didn’t hear this and you’re unhappy, you can get a refund’, and they did give five refunds.”
