Timing is everything – and this Domino’s advert couldn’t have aired at a better moment.
Wednesday night’s episode of AEW Dynamite on TNT in the US was main evented by a huge No Rules match between Nick Gage and Chris Jericho, but one moment of the bout had fans laughing rather than wincing at the bloody action.
The deathmatch king used his trusty pizza cutter throughout the brawl, and one hilarious moment saw the broadcaster go to a picture-in-picture ad break featuring a commercial for the pizza brand just as he was using his weapon of choice.
Fans loved it, with plenty flocking to Twitter to react to the brilliant product placement.
One wrote: ‘This is officially the best picture in picture commercial in professional wrestling history.’
Another added: ‘I don’t know if anything more perfect has ever been on television than a @dominos ad running while @thekingnickgage uses a pizza cutter on @IAmJericho’s face in the picture in picture. Thank you, AEW. #AEWFightfortheFallen #AEWDynamite’.
And a different viewer tweeted: ‘No joke… a @dominos ad on @AEW after Gage used a pizza cutter on Jericho?? Someone at @tntdrama is a GENIUS!! #AEW #AEWDynamite @AEWonTNT #DominosAd (sic)’
The divisive bout saw the former WWE superstar beat Gage at his own game in a violent clash, which served as the second Labor of Jericho as MJF continues to put his rival through some intense challenges.
After the bell, he made a brilliant reference to CM Punk before revealing next week Jericho will have to face Juventud Guerrera next week where he’ll need to hit a top rope move to win.

Gage recently lost his GCW World Championship to Matt Cardona, known in WWE as Zack Ryder, as they met in an intense deathmatch at GCW Homecoming over the weekend.
Covered in blood by the end of the match, the biggest surprise was not that Cardona gave his all in the match but that he actually won.
The very next morning, the new champ was on a flight to Disneyland with his fiancée Chelsea Green, and he had already promised to take the gold with him.
He exclusively told Metro.co.uk before the bout: ‘I have a 6 o’clock the next flight the morning to go to California for Disneyland. So that’s my main priority – to take that title to Disneyland.’
