WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

God yet another amazing show. Think that's 4 in a row.

I'll take an MSG crowd over any international PPV any day. The muting of the crowd and the video blacking out has to stop though. Ruining the show.

Finish was so good.

Tiffany winning. Thank goodness. Candace larae has no business in my TV. Absolutely ****ing sucks. Her and Hartwell. Jesus get them out of here.

Fun stuff with the NBA stuff. Happy Knight won. He should win MITB. I feel like they could have easily had Santos win if Logan and Knight sidetracked each other.

Good stuff all around.

Triple H has stated that all the censoring will end once Smackdown moves to Netflix.

All this blacking out of the screen and muting the crowd is extremely annoying and jarring, true, but it's the cost of the show being on broadcast TV.

Sounds like a FOX decision and only impacted US viewers? I didn't notice any of those censoring, it aired uncensored here which is even more surprising since TSN which airs AEW censors stuff that doesn't get censored in the US.

Perhaps Fox doesn't like the stuff WWE is doing and/or just upset that they're losing WWE in just over 2 months.

Apparently WWE people are mad at Fox over the censoring since everyone's blaming WWE for it.

No, they do it cause they don't want to be fined or deal with the FCC. They've been censoring WWE since the move happened.

It isn't out of some silly pettiness or because they are losing WWE in January (remember, they decided not to renew the deal).

And people 'blame' WWE cause they are simpletons and 'fed bad' everything. The FCC/Standards and Practices has been up pro wrestling's *** way before the move to Fox, yet now it's harsher cause of WWE being on a major four network (Fox, NBC, CBS, ABC) opposed to cable or a lesser network (like UPN back in the day).

Maybe a silver lining to the move then for sure.

Regulations always being annoying, smh.

Do we know what exactly are they blacking out? I get muting the crowd because of chants but I didn’t notice anything that warranted blacking out the screen
