Report: AEW Told To ‘Tone Down Language’ By Warner Bros Discovery
A reported new directive for Warner Brothers Discovery.
Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer reports that “word has gotten to the promotion [AEW] from WBD [Warner Bros Discovery] that they’d like the language toned down.”
AEW promos are not scripted and many wrestlers use “shit” and “bitch during their promos. For example, CM Punk said “shit” multiple times during his promo on the August 17 episode of AEW Dynamite.
In April, WarnerMedia and Discovery completed a multi-billion dollar merger between the two companies, officially forming Warner Bros Discovery.
In May, Tony Khan met with Warner Bros Discovery and said he felt very good about the future of AEW following the meeting. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
