News regarding a report that AEW was asked to tone down bad language on television

In the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com wrote about AEW’s relationship with Warner Bros. Discovery and noted the following…

“Word has gotten to the promotion from WBD that they’d like the language toned down. As best we can tell, they have said nothing about the blood.”

Fightful Select had an update regarding Meltzer’s report…

“AEW tells us that they believe this was a quote taken out of context from the all talent meeting on Wednesday regarding promos and talent going into business for themselves. The point was to stress that they could get network heat if they ‘fly too close to the sun’ but we’re told this was not an edict from the network.”

Fightful added that claims of “adversarial relationship” are said to be false.
