The latest word from the wrestling world is that Seth Rollins - Bron Breakker | WWE
There was confusion about the censorship, with some believing the blood was not censored on ESPN Unlimited/Disney+ replays, leading to speculation that the decision was made by Netflix. Along those lines, however, that’s not the case.
As PWMania.com previously relayed, WWE star and member of The Vision, Bron Breakker, suffered a cut on his head during his Steel Cage Contest against Seth Rollins at the 2026 Night of Champions premium live special event (PLE) this past Saturday. His babyface has now been “entirely blurred out” in replays of the broadcast.
Per PWInsider.com, WWE took the initiative to blur the blood in the battle. In addition to the blurring, alternate camera angles were used throughout the match in some instances to avoid showing the blood. There was in addition at least one occasion when WWE cut to a live crowd shot for a few seconds instead of showing the bloody action.
The report in addition noted that the “holy s**t” chants that erupted after Breakker was superplexed through a table were replaced with a “This is Awesome!” chant in the replays. On a related note, such audio edits have become a common practice in WWE’s replays on Netflix.
It remains unclear why Netflix replays are censored while ESPN replays are not. It’s worth mentioning that Netflix airings and replays are rated TV-PG, whereas ESPN Unlimited/Disney+ airings and replays do not have a TV rating.
