Members of the WWE Universe who attended this week’s episode of WWE NXT were encouraged to watch their language following one un-PG chant during the show.
The February 6, 2024, edition of WWE NXT was the fallout show from last weekend’s NXT Vengeance Day Premium Live Event. Vengeance Day went off the air with Carmelo Hayes betraying Trick Williams and laying out his former friend with a steel chair. Trick had unsuccessfully challenged NXT Champion Ilja Dragunov and the Trick Melo Gang had lost to the Wolf Dogs in the Dusty Rhodes Men’s Classic earlier in the show.
Censored at WWE NXT
Carmelo Hayes opened up this week’s WWE NXT to a chorus of boos from the fans. In fact, the negative response was so loud, that Hayes simply told the fans “not yet,” and left without explaining his betrayal of Trick Williams.
The negative response to Hayes was a bit too much for those at WWE. PW Insider reports that the crowd was told by staff not to use the F-word, as used in their “F*** you Melo” chant. The opening segment had to be heavily censored on TV. Hayes would explain his betrayal of Trick later in the show.
