Domino's Pizza responded to AEW's usage of a pizza cutter as a weapon during the No Rules bout between Nick Gage and Chris Jericho during AEW Dynamite last night on TNT prior to a Domino's commercial airing.

“We share the concerns expressed about this incident and the content of this TV-14 rated program, and are assessing our advertising presence on it going forward,” Domino's Director-Public Relations & Charitable Giving Jenny Fouracre-Petko told Michael McCarthy of FrontRowSports.com.

The bloody main event featured former GCW Champion Gage brandishing the pizza cutter, a weapon he regularly uses on the independent scene, against Jericho.  A Domino's commercial aired right after the spot.

In their statement to Front Row Sports, Domino's also stated their company had nothing to do with the stunt and was not aware of AEW's plans in advance.

The article did not feature comment from TNT or AEW.

Last night's episode was one of the top four highest AEW Dynamite overnight audiences in history.
