Netflix is under fire after fans spotted noticeable edits in the replay of the Brock Lesnar vs. Oba Femi segment from the March 30 WWE RAW — and they aren’t happy about it.
The moment, which originally featured loud and explicit crowd chants during the intense face-off between Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi, was altered in the Netflix version of the show. What aired live as raw, unfiltered reactions from the crowd was replaced with toned-down audio in the replay — immediately sparking backlash online.
Fans quickly took to Twitter to call it out — and the frustration was loud. One pointed out how the way Netflix censors and alters crowd chants makes the moments look awful on television.
“Netflix Live: ‘HOLY S***!’
Netflix Replay: ‘THIS IS AWESOME!’” Bro the way Netflix censors and alters stuff like this makes the moments look so AWFUL. 😭
That wasn’t the only reaction. The edits led to a ton of frustration, especially from viewers who expected a more unfiltered presentation on a streaming platform like Netflix: “Remember when everyone thought WWE was gonna be uncensored on Netflix” Others questioned why the censorship was even necessary in the first place: “Why?! It’s on @netflix. Leave it alone. @WWE”
Some fans even pointed out the irony, comparing WWE’s edited chants to the kind of content Netflix already allows on its platform: “Netflix literally has murder shows but they gotta censor cuss words on WWE 😭” And for others, the issue tied back to a bigger frustration with WWE’s overall presentation style: “This why they need to stop the PG shit. These grown ass men.”
The big question now is who actually made the call — Netflix or WWE. Either way, the reaction shows that fans are paying close attention, especially when moments like Lesnar and Femi’s confrontation are supposed to feel raw and unpredictable. Instead, for some viewers, the replay version took away from that energy — and that’s where the frustration is coming from.
Do you think censoring chants like this ruins the moment, or is it something WWE needs to do for a wider audience? Drop your thoughts and let us know.
