Add as a preferred source on Google Brock Lesnar was the target of a rather curious edit in the replay of the latest episode of Monday Night RAW, held on July 13 at American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.
During the live broadcast, Lesnar came out wearing a T-shirt with the phrase “Talk Sh*t, Get Hit.” However, once the episode became available again in Netflix’s library, the word “Sh*t” had been digitally removed from the wrestler’s shirt. The rest of the segment remained intact.
The edit took place at the top of the show, when Lesnar and Paul Heyman headed to the ring accompanied by several fake police officers. Heyman claimed he had obtained a restraining order against Oba Femi, but the Nigerian star ignored the warning and attacked all the men hired to protect them.
Later, Adam Pearce revealed that both the police officers and the document Heyman presented were part of an angle. The segment served to ramp up tension ahead of the Hell in a Cell Match between Lesnar and Femi at SummerSlam.
The match will take place on August 1 or 2 in Minneapolis. Femi defeated Lesnar at WrestleMania 42, while the Beast Incarnate won the rematch at Clash in Italy. It will mark the first Hell in a Cell Match of The Ruler’s career.
This isn’t the first recent edit to WWE‘s replays, either. At Night of Champions, Bron Breakker’s bloodied face was blurred, camera angles were swapped out, and a “Holy Sh*t” chant was replaced with “This is Awesome.” Cody Rhodes’ blood was also hidden behind a visual effect in another episode of Raw.
