Heat on Marty Scurll?
As mentioned, All In went off the air with just seconds left in their PPV window and the main event had to be cut short by 16 minutes because other matches had gone long.
According to PWInsider, the Kenny Omega vs. Pentagon match and segment (including Chris Jericho) went about 15 minutes over its scheduled time.
The Marty Scurll vs. Kazuchika Okada match also went 12 minutes long and the production team backstage was “losing their mind trying to get their attention to get them to go home,” PWInsider says. The belief was that Scurll took the brunt of the heat for the match going long and decided not to come out after the show for the in-ring group celebration.
There was also supposed to be confetti raining down to close the show, which ended up being used after the show went off the air anyway.

24 hours removed and I can’t stop smiling. One passion led to a new one. I hope it wasn’t my only night as an executive producer. Thanks Matt & Nick for producing it with me. You’re fearless and it was a fearless show. pic.twitter.com/53Fcg4xX3o
