Netflix has been pretty busy cleaning up WWE replays lately, and Liv Morgan just became the latest person to get the edit treatment. This time, though, it wasn’t because of blood, swearing or someone throwing up a middle finger.
During the October 26 episode of RAW, Dominik Mysterio carried Liv away on his shoulders following her match against Becky Lynch. The live broadcast showed the whole thing, including a few shots from behind as Dominik walked off with her.
Apparently, Netflix took another look at those shots afterwards and decided some of them weren’t staying. On the replay, portions showing Liv’s backside were censored. One of the final shots also appeared to potentially show a little more of her nether region than intended, which would pretty much explain why Netflix decided to cover things up.
Basically, if you watched Monday Night RAW live, you got one version. If you went back and watched it on Netflix, you got the cleaned-up version. And Netflix has been doing this quite a bit with WWE lately.
LA Knight flipping off Roman Reigns during their World Heavyweight Championship match at Money in the Bank aired without an issue live. When the replay went up, Netflix conveniently switched to another camera angle right before Knight gave Reigns the finger.
The September 28 RAW replay got similar treatment after Jacob Fatu was hit by a car. Netflix briefly cut the screen to black before the impact and even muted the sound of Royce Keys slamming an SUV door. There have also been instances of blood getting blurred, profanity being censored and other questionable shots disappearing once WWE shows hit replay.
Liv’s situation is obviously a little different since Netflix may have simply been trying to avoid leaving an accidental wardrobe malfunction sitting there on demand. Either way, Netflix apparently saw enough in the footage to decide replay viewers didn’t need to see everything that made it onto the live broadcast.
What do you think about Netflix continuing to clean up moments from WWE shows once they hit replay? Let us know what you think in the comments.
