Uncooked, which airs on USA Network, has been rated TV-PG since July 2008, per Cain A. Knight of Cageside Seats. Since then, the corporate has attempted to modified into more family-pleasant by catering against a younger target audience and avoiding any cases of indecent violence and blood. WWE had overtly criticized its competitor AEW for a match earlier this twelve months, asserting what occurred was as soon as “gory self mutilation.”
The shift to TV-14 ranking could outcome in a return of edgier programming reminiscent of what was as soon as considered throughout the Perspective Era of the slack 1990s. Nonetheless, time will repeat whether or now now not or now now not that shift would get more compelling storylines that will attract more followers a week.
