>>10213204During a backstage brawl between Jericho and someone else(idk I don't watch aew) there was a sign in the shot on live TV saying "seat fillers waiting area".
In kayfabe we make fun of aew and Tony khan for having to pay people to make the arena look full and go see his shitty show. As a shoot, almost all live TV where you see an audience, including wwe, uses "seat fillers" to go into someone's seat when they get up to buy shit or go to the restroom, when the person comes back, the seat filler leaves and waits again.
