• Backstage News On WWE RAW Moving To A TV-14 Rating
As we noted earlier, Andrew Zarian reported that WWE RAW is moving back to TV-14 rating after 14 years and the PG-Era is finally coming to an end.
However, according to Fightful Select, the memo being circulated at the USA Network regarding this change was sent prematurely and this change might not happen next week, but a few weeks later.
Also, this rating change might not result in WWE’s content changing that much:
“For those expecting a significant content adjustment might end up being disappointed.
While NXT has racier content regularly, it’s still rated TV-PG, and the content that airs is still up to the creator itself.
Unlike MPAA for movies or ESRB for video games, cable television shows aren’t required to meet a certain standard in order to retain TV-PG status, or move to TV-14 status.
For instance, WWE could have very well self-rated WWE RAW at TV-PG during the Attitude Era with so oversight ramifications.
However, input from the network and sponsors about the content is always taken into effect.”
