But many noticed that the “People’s Champion” commercial was heavily censored on FOX, with the “An Ass–le” chant actually not being heard during the live telecast. And apparently this censorship cannot be attributed to TV-PG as Sean Ross of Fightul explained: “For all those wondering why The Rock’s promo was censored, it’s all due to possible FCC (Federal Communications Commission) violations.

TV-PG has nothing to do with it. Indeed, the rating does not prevent us from using obscene language from time to time.”

Rock at WrestleMania 40? Option on the table

And that I am open and ready to do it. But, once again, let’s try to understand what exactly it is. Because the fans deserve something incredible and unprecedented.”
