Vic Joseph believes WWE is returning to TV-14 ratings.
Over the last few weeks fans have seen repeated reports about WWE intending to go to an edgier product. Since the late 2000s, WWE programming for the most part has been rated PG but now in 2022, it seems WWE are on their way to returning to a TV-14 age rating for their programming.
Appearing on the Ken Carmen Show, NXT announcer Vic Joseph was asked if WWE would be moving back to TV 14.
“Yeah. NXT had TV-14 for a week or two a couple of months back. You’re seeing things get a little bit edgier. As far as me watching it, I think people have this misconception that we all know what’s going on, I haven’t been on the road. I live five miles from where I go to work in Orlando. I’m not on the road and not in those meetings anymore. From what I’ve seen, with the language and some of the things picking up. This past Monday was the first time I can recall seeing blood on someone’s face in the ring and they weren’t trying to clean it up. I would have to tip my towards, ‘Yeah, it’s coming back,'”

Time will tell when WWE will go TV-14, but SummerSlam is currently rated TV-14 on Peacock in what may be a new era for the promotion.
