During the live broadcast of the AEW All Out pay-per-view, which is currently in progress, the opening segment of the show contained multiple instances of uncensored language. The event is the first All Elite Wrestling pay-per-view to be made available on the HBO Max streaming platform in the United States.
The segment featured Adam Copeland and Christian Cage in an interaction with other television personalities. During the exchange, “F-bombs” were used, and the words were not muted or censored on the live broadcast feed available on pay-per-view and HBO Max.
This presentation differs from AEW’s weekly television programs, Dynamite on TBS and Collision on TNT. Those broadcasts are subject to the standards and practices of cable television, which typically require such language to be censored. The content on the HBO Max streaming platform is not always subject to the same broadcast regulations.
The use of uncensored language on the broadcast has been a topic of observation among fans on social media. Some viewers have previously expressed interest in a product with fewer content restrictions.
For those who wish to view the event, AEW All Out is airing live now. The pay-per-view will also be made available for on-demand viewing through HBO Max and other traditional pay-per-view providers a few hours after the live broadcast concludes. Click here for details on how to watch the show.
The inclusion of uncensored language is a notable feature of AEW’s first pay-per-view under its new expanded partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery.
