If you’re watching AEW Dynamite on YouTube TV and missing the ending every week, you’re not alone.

The Wrestling Observer Live host Bryan Alvarez unloaded during a recent episode, slamming AEW and TNT for not solving the problem years after it started. The issue? AEW’s weekly show regularly runs past its scheduled time — but YouTube TV doesn’t factor in the overrun, meaning fans watching live often get cut off mid-match. Alvarez made it clear just how frustrating it’s become:

“Are you aware that after all these years, they still haven’t fixed this YouTube TV overrun thing? The show ended at 10:01, right in the middle of the match. The replay wasn’t up yet. If I didn’t have MAX, I wouldn’t have seen the end again. This happens every week.”

He believes it’s up to AEW or TNT to take action and contact YouTube TV directly:

“AEW or TNT should have fixed this by now. WWE got this handled the first week. I know if they got it handled, Tony can get it handled. Let’s get it done.”

But Dave Meltzer pushed back, saying the blame lies entirely with YouTube TV — not AEW or TNT.

“These overruns are built into the show now. It is part of the show. They are scheduled… Every other streaming service and cable provider gets it right. So this is YouTube TV’s fault.”

Meltzer argued that if every other platform handles the overrun without issue, the problem isn’t AEW’s to fix:

“If one service is failing and all others are working — Sling, cable, MAX, whatever — then it’s a YouTube TV problem, not AEW’s. They can’t force YouTube TV to fix it if YouTube won’t act.”

Still, Alvarez wasn’t convinced:

“Tony Khan or someone at TNT needs to call YouTube TV and say, ‘Our show is getting cut off every single week.’”

This debate shows how tech gaps can still ruin the experience for wrestling fans in 2025. With AEW’s built-in overrun part of its regular format, it seems wild that the largest streaming TV provider in the country still hasn’t caught up.

Do you think AEW should take charge and demand a fix from YouTube TV, or is it strictly on the platform to get their act together? Drop your thoughts in the comments and tell us how you’re watching Dynamite.
