Megan Bayne was involved in an awkward moment on AEW Dynamite last week

Megan Bayne faced Kris Statlander on AEW Dynamite last week and defeated her. After the match, she and Penelope Ford attacked Kris, but Thunder Rosa rushed out to save The Galaxy's Greatest Alien. La Mera Mera had a steel chair to take down the heels.

Instead of running away like the heels usually do, they stood there and stared at Rosa, who surprisingly didn't hit them with the steel chair. Both parties had an intense staredown but didn't attack each other, leading to an awkward moment. The former AEW Women's World Champion looked very confused during the segment.

Fans criticized Bayne and Ford for seemingly going off-script, but it reportedly turned out that AEW's production team was at fault. Reports claimed that the botched segment was a result of Tony Khan not holding production meetings before shows.
