Netflix censors WWE content in post-production replays
Netflix has implemented post-broadcast censorship on WWE programming to align content with its platform standards. During the Money in the Bank event, the streaming service altered the camera angle during a match between Roman Reigns and LA Knight to obscure a middle finger gesture made by Knight.
This incident is part of a broader pattern of editorial adjustments made by Netflix to WWE content. Previous edits include obscuring scenes of violence involving Jacob Fatu on RAW, blurring blood, censoring profanity, and cutting specific dialogue from promotional segments. These modifications ensure that replays differ from the original live broadcasts to meet the platform's suitability requirements.
