Netflix Under Fire for Editing out Part of WWE Raw Segment
WWE fans expressed frustration that part of an in-ring segment during Netflix's Raw episode was edited out later.
Viewers expressed outrage towards Netflix for editing out a portion of Becky Lynch's segment during WWE Raw, which they felt was unnecessary. The segment saw Lynch confront current Women's Champion Liv Morgan after Lynch's return to the company. Lynch continued trash-talking Morgan even after leaving the ring, with Morgan's Judgement Day stablemates backing her up.
According to Cultaholic Wrestling, Netflix removed a line from Lynch's speech where she called Morgan out for not being the greatest Women's Champion of all time, stating "You're not even the greatest women's champion in your own group." This line was likely a reference to former Judgment Day member Rhea Ripley, who had been romantically involved with Dominik Mysterio, who had previously dated Morgan.
Fans were frustrated with Netflix's decision, arguing that the platform should not censor content on a PG-rated show watched primarily by adults. Some suggested that Raw often removes edgy content to increase live viewership, while others found the edit unnecessary and questioned Netflix's treatment of its fans.
