Ladies and gentlemen, get ready for a whopper of a tale! During the August 7 episode of “AEW Dynamite,” TNT Champion Jack Perry’s intense promo package was rudely interrupted—not by Darby Allin, but by the siren call of a Taco Bell advertisement. That’s right, folks, just as Perry was gearing up for his title defense at Wembley Stadium, viewers were served a side of tacos with their wrestling drama.
Promo Meets Promo
Perry was smashing up old televisions with former TNT Champions on them, really getting into the spirit of things. But then, right in the middle of his fierce display, TBS decided it was time to remind everyone that Taco Bell exists. International viewers on platforms like Triller TV got the full scoop, but those on TBS had to scramble to social media to catch what they missed. To add a twist, the ad didn’t lead into a full commercial break. Instead, the end of Perry’s promo slyly snuck back on TV, seamlessly transitioning into Darby Allin’s segment.
Technical Tacos
And if that wasn’t enough, the show also experienced some audio gremlins during the match between MJF and Kyle Fletcher. Thankfully, those issues were sorted out faster than you can say “Supersize me!” before too many fans noticed.
The TNT Title Tussle
Despite winning the TNT Championship at Forbidden Door, Jack Perry has only defended his title once in a quick bout against former tag team partner Marko Stunt in July. Meanwhile, Darby Allin has been a whirlwind of activity since returning from injury. This Friday on “AEW Rampage,” he’ll take on The Butcher, likely to sharpen his skills before his big attempt to dethrone Perry at Wembley Stadium.
