WWE announces drop of PG rating for Raw


The TV-PG rating for WWE Monday Night Raw reportedly will be dropped on July 18. The upcoming episode of Raw on Monday will have a TV-14 rating.

Andrew Zarian reported the news and confirmed the change to Raw. The report does not indicate whether or not Smackdown would be affected by this move.

Logan Paul is set to make his WWE return on Monday’s episode of Raw. Paul recently signed a contract with WWE and is slated to be a part of Summerslam at the end of July. Paul teamed with The Miz at WrestleMania 38, but Miz turned on him after they won their match.

This week on Raw, Brock Lesnar returned and the main event featured a tag team match between Bobby Lashley & Riddle against Seth Rollins & Theory.

Summerslam airs live on Peacock on July 30. Announced matches for the show include Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns in a Last Man Standing match for the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship, Ronda Rousey vs. Liv Morgan for the Smackdown Women’s Championship, and more.

For something that has been such a big talking point for most of the past fifteen years, this feels like a really small story at this point.

Yeah, I don’t really see WWE suddenly allowing blood and cursing after all this time.

So for me, I feel it’ll be very little change
Have A Nice Day!

NXT was cursing for a bit (once AEW started doing it). Not sure if they are now.

Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. *looks at the Dub as usual*

I mean, it's always been silly to have two guys/gals in a heated rivalry call themselves "pieces of crap", "SOB", "doo-doo head", "bullcrap" or "freaking whatever" [Insert Seth's Joker laugh here] because they can't/aren't allowed to say fuck or shit or asshole, so I can welcome some cursing back (not that it REALLY left) as long as it doesn't become a crutch and a desperate way to be edgy and kewl *looks at... you know*

But yeah, they won't be bleeding all over the place on TV like Moxley does against jobbers like Takeashit, swearing every two seconds like it's the Attitude Era all over again, or having bra and panties matches every week.
